We're good.

As unpopular an opinion but this game isn't all doom and gloom.

Falcons, honestly, earned a lot of respect from me today. Defended their home. Matt Ryan honestly impressed me with that run. Ridley looks good after it finally looks like we got an answer for Julio lmao.

Really hope y'all can't pay Coleman. Dude stops and changes directions on a dime. Please get him out of our division. 

Now about us; we started rough, but we started getting into shape more and more. Falcons got us a few times on offense and Coleman and Ito Smith both looked great, even if the falcons can't pay Coleman (please God) Ito Smith is a tough change of pace back. Rookies made some mistakes but that doesn't define them. It's early. They'll get better.

Offense. Outside of Cam, Wright and Samuel was. Really slow to start. And it seemed in the fourth Quarter everyone was starting to get into gear more. C.J. Anderson's drop was huge and I want to call him many horrible things, he's a guy I trust to learn from this mistake.

Moore flashed. He'll get a bigger role. Funchess needs to get going but got better as the game went on. He needs to be more consistent but I trust him and Cam to get it worked out. Smith can do his job, but we desperately need Samuel, Smith isn't our deep throat.  Not even close 

It was. Encouraging to see this offense struggle, but get better and actually adjust. After so many seasons of watching this team hit a wall and sputter out for the rest of the game. We responded. C.J. Anderson doesn't drop that ball we tie the game. 

All in all, an early season loss on the road against a strong divisional opponent but we played tough. We can get better.

 

And also we can trade for Josh Gordon he's definitely worth if to at least kick the tires on do it Hurndog give me the cummies.

 

Now tell me why Ron and co need to be fired and Devin needs to be shot into the sun.

We may be good, but we play in a division with teams built to beat us. It's tough to make a living in the NFL with losing records to divisional opponents and our division flat out has us dialed right now. The Saints and Falcons have for awhile now and all of a sudden, the Bucs come out of nowhere with an over the hill washed up QB and look like the most dangerous team currently in the NFL. We're going to have a rough row to hoe.

May not be popular opinion but he's right.  Defense is not going to play like this every week.  

Losing sucks but it's not the end of the world.  Cam was incredible today

Unfortunately, the defense has pretty much been playing just like this every time we face the Falcons or Saints now for awhile. They have Rivera and his defensive philosophy figured out and they carve us up every time we face off.

We are not good. The Falcons are trash and we got beat by trash. 

Come on... I hate the Falcons, but they were picked by a lot of people to win the SB this year.  There is a lot of talent on that team, we played like a$$ for half the game, and still had a chance at the end.

Predictable.

Lol I swear I see these types of threads every year, only for this team to disappoint.

The Falcons were without 2 pro bowlers on defense, Devonta Freeman, and their safety was ejected early. If we can't beat the Falcons when they're depleted, what makes people think we can beat them when fully healthy? It will be the same result when we play the Saints too. Teams have figured Ron out (ESPECIALLY the Saints and Falcons).

Honestly I think a lot of today was kind of like...a Kamara like effect with Coleman and us underestimating how good he was, and a lack of urgency by our skill positions on offense. Coleman's cuts and strength we're top level.

Cam has looked awesome and if CMC was the one the ball got thrown too instead of CJ that wouldn't have been a pick. Then we would be saying Cam has looked flawless and no turnovers in two games. Defense play like pure poo today and it's all on them or coordinator since we decided not to blitz and just let Ryan carve us up.

It's not the end of the world. We lost to a divisional rival on the road but they missed out on a big opportunity to gain a lead on the division. I'm concerned about this defense being able to compete in this division with potent passing attacks. We have lost to the Falcons the same way on the road since 2015. They keep exposing our weak perimeter players  particularly Safery and Nickel Corner.  

Team needs to win their next 2 games which are at home, since this division will be a tight race again

Its a rival, and the Falcons got weapons.  A road loss to a division rival, if we must lose at all this season, I'll take this kind of loss early.  I liked the way the offense fought to stay in the game and almost tied it.  That let me know if our defense struggle, we do have the tools to win back and forth games.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
