The defense only gave up 17 points

I know they blew a bunch of third and longs but still... only 17 points.  That's actually better than average.  They made some key stops too including that Norman recovery and some big sacks.

 

Meanwhile, Atlanta who I believe until today was last in sacks, dominated, DOMINATED our offensive line.  They had been great all year and hopefully today was just an anomaly but let's spare the shots against the defense, please.

Matt Ryan had 7 in completions out of 30 attempts. At one point they allowed Ryan to go for 10 straight completions.

Again, this team is built around the defense.

Our offense is at the point that we cannot afford to lose Ted Ginn Jr.

Let me say that again: our offense is at the point that we need Ted Ginn Jr. or we are screwed.

The Falcons ran all over us. The defense missed way too many tackles. Thomas Davis was a train wreck today, love TD but no one is beyond reproach, he missed big big tackles. And J No looked lost in the secondary. I think our guys maybe didn't prepare for this game the way they needed to. They came out looking like they were on vacation. Losing Bene hurt quite a bit too. Our secondary is very leaky right now.

You can't just got by total points given up. It works both ways. For example we pin Atlanta inside the 10 several times and if we get one 3 and out it changes field position and helps the offense. They didn't. They did get a turnover and gave the offense good field position only for the offense to not move it and settle for a FG. It works both ways but too many people only see one side of things.

Falcons were 9-15 on 3rd-down conversions.  "Just 17 points" isn't enough to take Defense out of the conversation.  They were a big reason why we lost today.  

Yup. Plus they murdered Carolina in time of possession by like 10 minutes.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
