Cousins may have thrown more picks by now than Smith, but he'd be able to elevate the play of his personnel. Yesterday's loss didn't have much of anything to do with Smith. Of course, it's a team game and the offense certainly didn't do enough, but with the penalties, injuries to our O-line, poor play from our ILBs and safeties in the run game (ILBs played poorly in the run and passing game), and the lack of ability to adjust to what's happening in front in them re: Gruden and Manusky, then yesterday is what you got. |

Re: Postgame Falcons
I remember going to a Redskin game back in 05. Gibbs really had a good team that year and it was a home game against the 49ers. So I had these seats behind the 49ers bench and watched Smith throw duck after duck after duck in warmups. I never forgot that and could not believe that an NFL QB drafted #1 overall could not spin the ball.

Re: Postgame Falcons
And seriously a big F you to the front office for the way they handled the left guard position. It's really inexcusable.

I called it offseason. Its been mismanaged from the beginning. They should have spent 1.0-2.5 million for a Vet interior Olineman...they insisted on going with UDFA and garbage off the street that couldn't make other teams. Luavao single handly cost us the first possession of the game..FFS..You don't get a lot of possessions and our fucking LG cost us 1. |

Re: Postgame Falcons
Matt Ryans 4 tds yesterday.
AVG Depth of target = 1 yard AVG YAC = 31 Yards. Atlanta started out 8-8 on 3rd down, there is no excuse for that. Yeah the offense sucks but the defense was laughable yesterday.

Re: Postgame Falcons
Didn't the Falcons have two guards out? They certainly didn't have any problems what so ever running the ball right down our fucking throats. I'm tired of this o-line. All these guys do is get hurt every year. Knowing that, you have to have good backups. The kid from Louisville is weak and needs to live in the weight room.

The Falcons' run game yesterday consisted of doubling our tackles or running on the perimeter of our defense. They outschemed us, along with our ILBs and safeties failure to fill gaps. |

The real problem is that this team doesn't know how to draft depth for their offensive line. Every year, there's some deficiency the front office either fails to recognize or doesn't have the funds to address.

Re: Postgame Falcons
Some numbers yesterday.
Norman vs Julio 8 targets 5 catches 83 yards 1 td That's not terrible tbh, Julio as we all know is a great wr. Doc was targeted 6 times, 2 drops and only 31 yards receiving. Nice TD catch tho. Alex averaged a 6.7 YPA yesterday, it was the 4th time he did not get over 7 YPA this season. With the injuries to the line, I'd expect the same. Smith's best game was GB where he averaged 11 YPA.

Alex had time and looks like he never knows where the ball is going when he drops back. Happy feet and the check down seems to be his favorite option. |

Re: Postgame Falcons
Matt's avg YPA yesterday was 9.2 , he is on a tear and we knew that, and yesterday was like pitch and catch to him.
