Game plan for Atlanta?

Falcons have done quite better this season than I expected.  Ryan at home will be pumped up and itching right now to get the ball to Julio every opportunity.  Their running game is solid - but they have to know that no one has run on us all year too.

First Falcons game I thought was pretty close.  Falcons fans keep talking about the missed TD but I have never been a fan of the 'if only we had that one play' because the same is true for the other guys as well.  Cam had some great runs on them and the scheme seemed solid.

I watched Brees tear them apart the first time they played and the interception at the end cost them the game - the 'if only Saints had kicked the field goal' - lol - but the Saints just dominated that game.

Saints v Falcons part II I didn't see - but listening to Falcons fans it appears the Refs/NFL/Russia had it in for them as they blame the refs for the game (not sure how the refs were able to help with the butt pick but Falcon's fans can never own they just got beat and have to blame someone).

On Defense:

We always seem to get a bunch of sacks vs Ryan - and he always manages to get get 5-6 bombs off on us as well.  Hopefully we get lots of penetration and we can somehow slow Julio down.

On Offense:

Would love for our offense to take what defense gives us.  They want to try and stop the run - than let Olsen do what he always does against them...keep em honest and worried about what Easy Ed Jr will do to them. :)

 

Your thoughts?

My 11-4 comment was direct more at your offensive comment. 

 

A agree about blitzing

oh, gotcha.

I don't have an problem with the long, methodical, boring drives.  I largely agree with it.  It is a formula that has worked here for some time.

Pretty sure no Falcons fans are complaining about the butt interception.

At one point I believe it was 9 penalities - 85 yards for the Falcons while the Saints had 0 penalties. They missed multiple penalties on Lattimore PI on Julio. Julio also scored a touchdown that the refs ruled it at the 1 and Freeman got a 15 yard penalty for saying something to another player??? Never seen anything like it.

The jet sweep has worked well for us at times this year...question is who do we have to run that play now?  First it was Samuel, then Byrd....so now who?  Clay is the obvious answer, but I am sure it will be Bersin.  

Clay has a 29 yarder already in the books.

Run up the gut on 1st and 2nd down.  Long bomb on 3 and short, punt.

Rinse and repeat.

Last game of the season.  Shula might mix it up and throw in a flea flicker to Bersin on one of those 3rd and longs.

Or a wr screen.  My favorite is the end around with the slowest player they have suited up that day.  Man that's fun to watch.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
