Atlanta cleaning house....

Fallout from the biggest choke on turf...

Falcons are firing DC and DL coach.

This means they will start the season with two new coordinators and at least one new positions coach.

I guess they were not happy with getting zero pressure on Brady when it mattered?

Anywho, Atlanta is in real danger of a multi season superbowl hangover it seems.

ATL defense played well IMO.

Not their fault they had to defend 90+ plays against the GOAT and had no legs in the 4th and in overtime.

This whole thing reeks of Arty Blank.

Well, if your defense allows the offense to methodically move down the field and rack up those 99 plays, then that defense is at least partially their fault.  New England is not a big play team, that is how they play.  I do agree though that both the offense and defense were at fault and that passing the ball at the 25 or so yard line was a ridiculous call.

Young team gets to the Super Bowl and loses the game in the 4th qtr.  Nerves, youth?  Who knows

But, they were good enough to get there and good enough for 3 qtrs to win.  The owner however, seems to be one who also looks youthful and nervous by wiping out most of his staff.  Temper tantrum for a team within 1 qtr of winning the Super Bowl.  30 other teams could not get anywhere close to that success.

For the Panthers, we could use a bit more of the accountability and for the Falcons, a bit less.  No reach vs over reach

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
