Just admit it, that wasn't his day. No excuses, we're gonna move on and see a better Julio next week.

Ya, in that situation you just have to know where you are. Roddy is amazing at that.

dunagan15 · 10-07-2012, 12:52 PM

God Ryan has been terrible so far. WTF was he thinking throwing it right to Kerrigan?

And Julio will never be elite with all these dropped balls.

Bosanac01 · 10-07-2012, 01:01 PM

Michael Turner is running hard, good to see.

TheFalconsFan · 10-07-2012, 02:14 PM

What is up with these passes to our offensive linemen??

thefalconer · 10-07-2012, 02:30 PM

what dafuq.

dunagan15 · 10-07-2012, 02:34 PM

Wow, were going to let Kirk Cousins beat us....Kirk ******* Cousins. Why arnt we blitzing the **** out of him. Love how every DB just watched him run right by them...

Not sure how many games we expect to win playing this poorly.

Good thing Kirk Cousins blows.

Bosanac01 · 10-07-2012, 05:24 PM

We really should have blitzed the hell out of Kirk Cousins, he looked nervous out there. All in all, he gave two easy interceptions to us and sealed the win. That communication issue has to be fixed with our DBs. We didn't do a good job stopping the run in the first half, and we got saved by a bunch of dropped balls.

Bulldogs · 10-07-2012, 05:26 PM

We dropped a lot of easy passes too. Even though we looked off I was never really doubtful we'd win the game.

BamaFalcon59 · 10-07-2012, 07:01 PM

Really want to mention Tony Gonzalez. I think this is by far the best he has looked since joining the team. His hands are, as always, on point. However, his YAC numbers have been awesome this season and altogether he's just doing a lot more once he gets the ball.

Dude does not need to retire.

FWIW, even if it's useless to point it out, he's currently on pace for 125 receptions, 1,235 yards, and 13 touchdowns this season.

Ya Tony has been amazing, def not a guy that looks like hes on the decline, but if we happen to make it to a super bowl and win I dont think hed have a reason to come back.

dunagan15 · 10-07-2012, 10:31 PM

Also, as poorly as we have played the past 2 weeks, at least weve come out with the W. I know were not going to be clicking perfectly all year so hopefully we fix these mistakes and continue to play well in the big games.

Linebacker play today was pretty bad, pass rush was decent at best, secondary with the 1 blunder.

Ryan looked the worst so far this season and still it wasnt all that bad, the INT was horrid and some bad throws but we managed.

Coach Smith looking forward to when he can possibly
get Corey Peters back, after the bye week.

The secondary play has been phenomenal this season, definitely the best in the Mike Smith era. Pass rush has to improve however. In the 5 games this year, Kroy Biermann and Ray Edwards are combined for just 1 sack. That's not cutting it.

We need Clowney. Bad.

Unless we make a Julio-esk trade, we are not getting him. The problem is we have too many good DEs, and one great DE who is gonna be 35 next year. Drafting a high-level DE will make things a lot easier for Mike Nolan. Only problem is the high risk factor that goes along with that.

dunagan15 · 10-09-2012, 11:58 PM

Well Clowney cant come out this year anyway, due is only a sophmore and already the best DE in college. Future #1 for sure imo.

scar988 · 10-10-2012, 11:01 AM

Hearing that Corey Peters will be back after the bye. He's already running according to his agent. (I speak with his agent all the time)

So we're playing a pretty ****** defense here. Matt Ryan should have a fun day.

TheFalconsFan · 10-12-2012, 12:41 PM

We should be able to handle the Raiders fairly easy. But
let's not forget we're a team that plays down to our competition.

Sidenote: Good to hear Corey Peters will be back after the bye week
the second half of our schedule looks tough.

TheFalconsFan · 10-14-2012, 12:12 PM

Odd start to the game for us.
