Falcons gonna Falcons

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.

    • Has anybody actually said anything of that sort? (if they did, I missed it) I get why some folks rely on stats. I don't, and honestly I'm not sure why people keep trying to convince me I should. (it ain't gonna happen) 😕 Consistency is my big thing too, and the lack of it is why I want to move on from Bryce. But again, that's an argument I make without denying that he can indeed play in (and yes, win) NFL games. Hating bad QB play is fine. Denying when you see good QB play is silly. Let's be real for a second... This may not be you specifically, but there are some folks for whom Bryce can do absolutely nothing to win their approval. Some are always gonna want a bigger / stronger / faster / more athletic (in some cases, Newtonesque) quarterback even if Bryce does start to play consistently. At that point, they'll just shift the argument from "we can't win with Bryce" to "well, we can't keep winning with Bryce" 😖 You know all this as well as I do. So again, I want to move on from Bryce as well. I'd happily (hell, merrily) keep him as a backup, but I doubt there's a realistic path to that happening. But no matter what, I'm gonna keep my debate points based in reality, and I'm not gonna be responsive to "he just sucks" level persuasion. Is any of that unreasonable? 🤔
    • Apples and oranges.   No one is coming for Jon Snow and the neutral party when they compliment Bruce when it is just normal talk about a game.  Which is the literal picture you are trying to paint above.  I mean that’s exactly what you argued. if you start a thread that is about the future of the franchise at QB going forward at QB and what we should do or are thinking! Yeah, the anti Bryce crowd is going to very vocal on that thread because the literal topic is extending Bryce and the future at QB (which is what an anti Bryce position is literally about.  Moving on.  The future) This thread? I literally called out people in their feelings wanting to make this about Bryce and their hurt feelings eroding over.  You can find where I literally calls them out go make another Bryce thread if they didn’t want to talk Saints and the most relevant thing about them.  And the thread went exactly as we all knew it would.   Bryce deserved player of the week talk for Atlanta.  I have always acknowledged his great games.  A shame there are only two 
    • Then the offense will be the same up and down underperforming offense they are this year and our FO are filled with idiots.
