Falcons are ruining my Sundays.

[Dnice]

And my week...i gave up on em when the offense kept stalling.

9-7 and that may be good enough to win the division.

They did better in the first half than I expected.  But the announcers said some ugly things about them re talent on defense.  Makes you wonder if the GM is the one on the hot seat. He's the one who is responsible for signing/drafting talents. 
The coaches don't have talent to coach.

Brian Billick was the one who started the 'talent' thing on Atlanta radio on Thursday.

He said 'the Falcons have the least quantifiable talent on defense in the league.' Ouch!

Man I hate average football teams.   Our prospects for the season don't seem good.

Where's the beef?

 

Twas said last season - Falcon's defense isn't big enough and tough enough.

So, they tried to get bigger and tougher.  They apparently completely forgot

about speed.  This season they are bigger, stronger, meaner and much too

slow to be a success.

 

Opponent opens a hole and before our slow linemen and linebackers can

react, the runner is down field, being chased down by a small, fast safety

or cornerback.  Oops!  Should have thought of this idea of speed.

 

We can't really pressure the QB.  Ever wonder why?  Could the lack of

speed / quickness have anything to do with it?  Guess they never thought

of that either.  They did bring in some old, experienced defensive players

for the new line.  Never thought of drafting defensive linemen or linebackers

with speed / quickness to spare.  Wonder why?

 

Every week, we see these young players on our opponent's team who are

good and very good.  They didn't get drafted in the first round either.  If

they can do this, why can't we?

 

So many questions.  So few answers.  That's us.  We're pretty good at home

but we're terrible on the road.  Can't play them all at home.  Drat!
