"We about to put 40 something on them"

You remember the narrative that the Panthers were too cocky? You know, the narrative that was the apparent reason of us losing Superbowl 50?

Well, we aren't the only ones. Just check out what Sanu said:

At least Taylor Gabriel was half sane and had the sense to remain alert. Sanu was already thinking about the trophy he'll never get.

So next time another Falcon fans says the Panthers are "too cocky", remind them of Sanu, and them blowing a 25 point lead.

Gosh this will never get old.

Well FuFu , they may have played better than us for the better part of 3 quarters, but when it actually counted the most they folded like wet paper. That's a worse way to lose than our self destruction in SB 50. You could argue that it would have still been difficult for us to win even without the dumb ass fumbles and dropped passes , but the Falcons HAD the game won and gave it back to the Patriots.

Could you imagine if that was the Panthers? we outscoring the Patriots 28-3 coming off killing steamrolling the entire league until that point, only to have the most epic of meltdowns ever after that? IDK I think that would be worse.

That would be weird though. Since our defense was actually NOT the problem in the SB. They actually held the Denver offense to field goals until well into the 4th quarter . Which is a crazy feat in of itself. The D did their job. The vaunted offense let us down. Just too many turnovers if nothing else, they looked sloppy and unready for the spotlight. And our Tackles simply got horribly exposed.

I'm pretty sure we lost the rematch in wk1 very similar, which completely fuged up the whole season

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
