Falcons off-season thread

[ATLDirtyBirds]

Come on now. Should have thrown on 2nd and goal.

[Bosanac01]

Michael Turner, amazing job today.

[Draft King]

******* love Michael Turner.

[dunagan15]

^^ Great game by Turner, he FINALLY looks like hes running HARD and wants it. Now please for once can our D step up while we have a lead?

[ATLDirtyBirds]

Huge stop. A score here is so goddamned important.

[Bosanac01]

We are in safe mode right now. Can't turn it over.

[Bosanac01]

On passing plays, the defensive line can't go on the ground.

[Bosanac01]

So many little plays just didn't go our way late. Mikes Smith should have gone for it on that last 4th down play.

[dunagan15]

Every ******* game the defense does this. EVERY GOD DAMN GAME. No ******* emotion at all, Kroy Bierman you are a PoS *****, ******* grow a sack and quit half assing it on every play, jogging, giving up...makes me sick

[dunagan15]

Jesus christ, is this defense ******* serious? Kroy Bierman needs to be ******* off the god damn team, that mother ****** just stood there...literally just stopped and didnt even try to rush Rodgers, you have to be ******* kidding me.

[Bosanac01]

The defense is just so tired right now. I don't wanna go to OT. It's not gonna be pretty.

[Bosanac01]

Matt Bryant has been amazing this year. He needs a raise.

[BamaFalcon59]

OT would have came down to the coin flip.

Good game.

[Bosanac01]

Of course we have to make it so hard for us to win. haha, but a win is a win.

How many times have we said this, this year? It feels good to win though.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

Indeed. Seems like we've played the exact same game 27 times this year.

[dunagan15]

9-2. Nuff said. So frustrated w/ the inconsitency of the Defense. At times they do great, but every time we have a lead, they just get soft instead of being aggresive, I know some of that in on Van Gorder, but we just need more intensity in big situations. Only 17 points is a good thing, but we did get lucky on the goaline, but all that aside we won against a very good team so Ill take it.

9-2!

[Bosanac01]

How bout Matt Ryan for MVP? After a bad start, he has been so amazing lately.

YES. It just irriatates the piss outta me. Granted in all these games we have won, so Im glad were on the right side. But we have smooth sails the rest of the way, like we all said we only needed to win 1 out of the GB/Saints games.

Now just to secure Dome field.

[ATLDirtyBirds]

No way. Brady, Rivers, Vick...

Agreed. Props to Ryan, not a flasy game w/ yards and TDs, but no mistakes at all, kept the ball moving, and 24/28 along w/ Turner having a great game and controlling the ball.

[Bosanac01]

Turner really was the MVP of this game. They took Roddy White out of the game. If we couldn't run the ball, it wouldn't end like it did.

A lot of good players w/ better stats, and I hate thats all MVP means anymore..it's not Wow they really are great and X team is lost w/o them.

And yes Brady, Rivers, Vick are that for their teams, but I also think Ryan is too, leading a 9-2 team, with a number of game winning drives, solid numbers. So if you base it on those hes even w/ those guys IMO.

[Draft King]

Wow, just reading through this thread late there is a lot of hating going on. I love Mike Smith and don't understand why every time the Packers do anything you guys start railing on him.

[D-Rod]

As soon as they scored, I looked at the clock and thought, they left us too much time. We win. This time though, it was more Weems and Bryant than Ryan.

The fact that we get killed by QBs that are happy to tuck and run is worrying, though, looking ahead...

A certain level of blame needs to be placed on him for having his team play so stupid and reckless (with the penalties) and for apparently not accounting for Rodgers being able to scramble.
