I hate the Falcons. Go read their message board.

Watching their glorious collapse has been a delight to watch. Their board reads a lot like the Panthers board did in late 2019. Hopeless, pathetic, and negative.

What makes me nervous is they might target Joe Brady or at the very least, lose out and get Trevor Lawrence and a decent coaching staff and turn things around quickly. If we are any example, a new coaching staff can turn a sorry roster into a competitive team in one offseason.

that's the first thing i did after they broke quinn getting axed. they've lost all hope of winning and are mostly just glad for the change.

theyre all convinced matt ryan is washed up too and will need a total rebuild, which is great to see

I think they have enough talent that they can win enough games with an interim coach to take them out of the Lawrence/Fields sweepstakes. They could be in position for Lance but I think they're more likely to stick with Ryan who has not been the issues this year or last. I guess they could target Brady but I kinda doubt he gets any legit HC interest this early. I worry they get Bieniemy from the Chiefs and he proves to be as good as many think he is.

In their defense, Matt Ryan really did look like poo today. They might be right about him being washed. If he is though, they're fuged. There's still about $50M in guaranteed money left in his contract AFTER this season.

Ryan was atrocious today.

They have major cap issues, and Ryan's deal is at the heart of it.  I think they had to have consulted Hurney on that contract.  They have some talent, but as a team they are aging rapidly, expensive, and have a bad habit of checking out of games before the win is sealed.

Dimitroff's chair has to be feeling pretty warm these days, too.

They have one more year of Matt Ryan until they can cut him loose without a big cap hit. Good opportunity to draft a young QB and break him in. Either way this Falcons team couldn’t get any worse. They remind me a lot of late 2019 Panthers. If they hire a good staff, that team will turn around quickly.

The falcons next three are the most winnable on their schedule I think they pick off at least one maybe two of Lions/Broncos/Vikings...  The Jets on the other hand IMO are going to be the nfls third 0-3 team.

Reads a lot like our message board a few weeks ago

That’s why we need Quinn to get fired now and the interim coach gets them to win a few games and not draft Lawrence.  I don’t think Brady will be gone after only one year.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
