So know we have 2 young QBs with no confidence

I know we have no receivers but I felt Matt Moore was pulled too soon. Now we are in a situation with both young starters looking over their shoulders with every bad pass.

I have yet to see a pass that Clausen can make that Moore can't. And several that Moore can that Clausen can't. Clausen's arm was a big question mark coming in and it's obvious that he has to "heave" the ball with a lot of body to get a pass out to the sidelines. He also tends to drop back into the pocket and instead of watching his reads, tucks the ball as the pocket forms and starts to scramble. He just isn't ready. Not his fault.

On a bright side Jeff King got another false start to start a drive and Jordan Gross didn't. To my knowledge.

Discipline seems to once again be lacking with this team. Poor tackling, stupid penalties and once again the worst special teams in the league.

Just my thoughts. I hope we can keep at least Stewart or D Will but its not looking great.

Cheers!

I expected this to happen once he was drafted... a lot of us were. After 08, I didn't expect this situation to happen, mainly cause I expected for us to go hard after a receiver.

One of the worst situations to have with a team, a young team at that, is a QB controversy. Smh

They should complete a couple of passes to ugly receivers to get their confidence back.

Agree. I don't know if there has ever been a more pathetic core of receivers without Smitty on the field. Would be nice to have Otah back too.

I felt today they should have stayed with the wildcat. Why not? You obviously won't score with a conventional method.

Made a prediction before the game that we wouldn't pass for 50 yards. Everyone said I was crazy but I think if that wasn't spot on it had to be close.

I didn't see the Bradshaw comment but kind of remember hearing it. My main concern is that he seems to "tuck and run" almost every pass.

I said after game 2 that it was too early to start Clausen. He isn't seeing things quick enough. He needed to hold the clip board a little longer. The proper transition would have been to let Moore start through this game and if he doesn't turn it around start Jimmy after the bye week. Today he was too quick to check it down and appeared to play scared.

    • 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)
