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.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
