Falcons owner Arthur Blank has informed multiple parties that he plans on moving on from head coach Mike Smith at the end of the season, sources said, and it would take a shocking playoff run to alter that scenario. Blank has also told some confidants that, for now, he expects to retain general manager Thomas Dimitroff, though it could be revisited through the hiring process.

1. Wtf are the Panthers going to do? Mike Smith record > Rivera

 

2. Do you think the Falcons will still ball out knowing they're probably playing for a lame duck and it'll take a deep playoff run to keep Mike? If they lose today, and we win they'll be eliminated. Will they let up a little?

As much as I hate the Falcons, I've always thought Mike Smith was an excellent coach and a coach that players respect and would run through a wall for. It's not his fault Dimitroff can't put a good team together...

I would take Smith over Rivera in a heartbeat.

Caveat: if Rivera gets us in the playoffs, fug Mike Smith. Coach Rivera is the greatest coach of all time.

Watching hard knocks this year all I kept thinking was "dude this guy is such a pansy. I would never be motivated to do anything for him. I would just turn tomy team mates and say bro..is he serious right now?"

 

yeah , I didn't finish the first episode, all I could think about, was that this whole team is full of sh!t top to bottom.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
