You're not wrong. Two 'fun' stats:

1) Matt Ryan is the first QB in history to lose back-to-back games with 350+ passing, 3+ TDs, and no picks

2) Teams that score 36+ at home without turning the ball over are 402-4. Two weeks ago, they were 402-2. 

 

The defense is just THAT bad.

Nobody loses as well in historical fashion as the Atlanta Falcons.

And that Super Bowl loss to the Pats.

They haven't been able to overcome injuries to their key defenders.

That's part, and perhaps most of the problem, but plenty of regulars have looked horrid as well. 

That the Neal / Allen / Jones - sized hole in the middle of the D is essentially free points for any team with a quasi-functional passing attack is expected. Poor corner and DL (outside of Takk) play is another, semi-standalone issue. Put together, along with the fact that the O scores quickly and often (or a really, really quick three and out), the Falcons are looking at a historically bad defensive season, statistically.

Well I,couldn’t get a Panthers win so I watched the Falcons loose.  Almost as satisfying.  

Their board will light up about Eric Reid after this.  LMAO.  

It was already lit up after the Saints loss. The center of our defense is roughly analogous to a landing strip for a C-5M Super Galaxy.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
