Gray Mule Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 WOW! Can we believe this? Yet, here we are! Falcons topple Tampa Bay on a last second field goal and take over 1st place! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted October 23, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 What a game!! Oh sorry, i left out a word What a terrible game!! We tried to give it away and Tampa wouldn't take it. Still though we hung tough especially on D and the greatest Falcon of the last 3 years crushed a 50 yarder to win! I'll take it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 I know Mort is in the HOF, so at least Koo should be in the Ring of Honor, he's the main one producing on offense. I'm loving they have a top 10 defense, they hadn't played any all-pros, but didn't make those guys look like they were so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Mule Posted October 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 @ Tenn., QB change at the half. Too many turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted October 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Lost the game but Falcons offense looked much better. Terrible pass defense. Too many injured Falcons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted October 30, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Heinicke looked so much better. not running the ball on that last play seemed dumb to me though. Interesting to see who starts next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnice Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Falcons played a s**t game, too many fg's early, Rookie has 4 td;s and Henry ran over the defense who was helpless. Now Grady's done, goodbye 2023 season. Edited October 30, 2023 by Dnice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted November 6, 2023 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 @macdaddy Come get your boy Aurthur Smith. His play calling is......... Run trick plays on the 1 yard line? Pitts blocking for Smith? Where is Bijan Robinson - 11 carries? And none in the red Zone? that can't be right. He needs to stop trying to be too cute, fancy and complicated and just play 1, 2, 3 football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense gets the offense the ball on teh damn one yard line and we end up kicking a field goal. that can't happen. Say what you want about Mariota but he gave us a helluva a run game to try to stop. We're going to be looking for a QB in the offseason. I'm not writing off Ridder but guys like Dobbs are just floating around the league. I don' tsee the point of investing 2-3 seasons in the hopes of Ridder being something when he's shown poor ability to pass downfield and lot of questionable decision making.

Why are we not using Bijan in the red zone....read somewhere he has only had 1 carry in the red zone all year???? Why draft him.that high if we aren't using it when it matters most. Why are we not running the ball? I get it teams will be geared to stop the run, but why not make them actually prove they can stop run instead of automatically conceding it. I am so confused by this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnice Posted November 10, 2023 Report Share Posted November 10, 2023 Glad to hear Arthur Smith got booed when making a guest spot on the McAfee show as he's doing a show in Athens. I didn't think that many Dawg fans cared about the Falcons or pro football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted December 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Falcons remain in 1st place! Thank you, Detroit. Your victory over the Saints means Atlanta has a full game lead over the Bucs and the Saints. Falcons defense carried the day as they squeaked by the NY Jets. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators macdaddy Posted December 4, 2023 Moderators Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Crazy to think we might make the playoffs. It'd be nice. Honestly the defense deserves it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda best case scenario for this young team to make the playoffs with a .500 record. Get some playoff experience AND still have decent selection in the draft to round out the roster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted December 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 There is now a three-way tie for 1st place with only Carolina out of it. Interception by Bucs accounted for 7 of their points and a fumble by the Atlanta QB for a safety gave them 2 more. The always reliable Koo missed 2 field goals for -6 points. Falcons lost by 4. Desperation drive by the Falcons with seconds ticking down was great but time ran out. Too many injured players were part of the doom of the Falcons. Panthers will get a high pick in the next draft, not just the 1st round, but all rounds! Whoever wins this division will very likely go out in the 1st round of the playoffs. Gee! Three teams, all with losing records. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro sports has a ton of ups and downs. Thrilling and annoying all at once! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
