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

[t96]

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.

Imagine losing your job over an onside kick--I think that sealed the deal.  With the COVID-19 popularity in this country, It could wait.

Ryan was atrocious today.

boils down to coaching

Its weird to be a team where coaching is actually a strength.

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.

Amazing how their bandwagon asshat troll fans aren’t here now.

Go to their board and light them up, Matty Slapsack sucks and always has

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.
