Falcons are tanking on purpose

The Falcons ruined what was almost a perfect day for the Panther's draft position. Still have the #4 pick now but it will be a rough and tumble couple of weeks. Maybe the Falcons won't poo the bed against Tampa in a couple of weeks. 

 

Nah....probably not.

With Washington losing and Seattle/Dallas winning we have a better SOS now so there’s that.

Would be nice to be alone at 4-12 so we are at 4 in every round. Houston plays Cincy next week and TB could be slotted by the end of next week and may rest guys. Still have a chance.

Falcons play the Chiefs and Tampa again.  They are almost a lock for 4-12.I would wonder if the Falcons would take a qb.  Do they think Ryan is close to done?

Refs screwed them out of a potential game winning drive.  The line judge legit just shifted the 4th down play that went short up like a half yard.

First time I have ever heard the announcers mention conspiracy and just giving it to Brady. They said the refs didnt figure Atlanta had a chance so they just sent everyone home a few minutes early. If you watch the replay you can see the chain guy lean the stick forward to make it look closer to a first down and it was obviously short. I hate the Falcons but this crap pisses me off. Games should not be decided like this and the NFL having a bias towards Brady/Manning has me even more convinced now they would never allow Cam to win SB50.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
