Keep Pounding

I'm gutted. This was demoralizing.

We're 6-5 and the still in the playoff hunt. We control our own fate. Beat Tampa, beat Cleveland, then beat New Orleans and Atlanta. Win all but the away New Orleans game and we're 10-6 - win all of them by some miracle and we're 11-5. No excuses. This is crunch time, but we're one of the best December teams in the league.

What is the point of winning this year, the team other than the mismanaged Offense is hot garbage, we keep trotting out the same players that get beat week after week with no change in scheme or philosophy. Why limp into the playoffs to get thrashed.  It only hurts this team going forward with nothing to gain from it NOTHING.

9-7 and 10-6 teams have won Super Bowls. Losing out breeds a loser culture, just what you want with new ownership.

But hey, if you want 2-3 years of rebuilding go right ahead and can everyone right now.

This team is in trouble. The offense is looking bright with CMC, DJ, and Curtis but my goodness the defense is finished. We have literally no good defensive back up players waiting to take the older guys spots. Davis and Pep will retire. The secondary is pathetic. Luke ain’t Luke no more. The D line is an obese money pit.

Luke was Luke wtf were you watching. Our coaching staff has failed our players, not the other way around.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
