Too late man, they're clearing the slipway and paging the lifeboat crew as we speak.

Re: Falcons pregame thread

Big picture the Giants and Lions have been far worse in recent years.

Either way, bottom line is people need to step back off the ledge. A win against ATL and we're 2-2, right where most of us would have thought we'd be.

Yeah the Lions are worse in every picture no doubt. The Giants won those two and it may have been ten years ago but id take that in a heartbeat and id still be feeling good about it.
Yes clearly we can be 2-2 after Sunday. It is more the manner in which we have lost that has me feeling hopeless. The run of games after Atlanta is going to be brutal if this D doesn’t figure something out. 2-2 can become 2-10 real easy based on what I have seen. Just trying to look at it from a non fan perspective- aka putting the kool aid down. And if i do that I see a top 5 pick right now. I know things can change. Let us just beat Atlanta- maybe it will boost our confidence and we can ride on that.

Just look back to last year, we were 2-7 at one point and all seemed lost. CHILL.

Re: Falcons pregame thread

This team has too many talented players to not turn it around.

Things fall in line this Sunday.

Skins 24
Falcons 20

*my bold prediction - everyone starter on the DL gets at least a .5 sack

Re: Falcons pregame thread

Just watched the All 22 of Falcons @ Giants.

I'm intrigued. This upcoming match up is very hard to predict IMO.
I could see it going absolutely any way: shoot out, low score close game, blow out one way or the other.

Very cliché, but once again it's all about the trenches IMO:
- Their Dline is not very good, but they can generate pressure every now and then, #97 Grady Jarrett has a nice swim move. Our Oline is coming of a strong outing against the Bills, if they are up to the task, Heinicke could have a really nice game, especially if he extends plays just a bit, there are holes to be found in their zone coverages.
- Their Oline isn't that great either, but the neither was any of the OL they faced so far, Chargers with a rookie LT, Bills with a sketchy line, and we still couldn't generate much pressure. So IF, and as you can see it's a big fat all caps "if", our DL finally steps it up, we have the tools to take control of this game. But if this D as a whole is the same that we saw the first 3 weeks, Matt Ryan and his TEs + Calvin Ridley will have a lot of fun with Bostic, Fuller and Cie...

One good thing is I think they can be run on. Deion Jones is symbolic of really good talent wasted on a shitty squad.

Maybe we finally landed a 2nd round blue chip:

It has been so long, I honestly cannot remember the last 2nd rounder here who was even borderline starter quality (for more than a handful of games) hopefully Cosmi keeps it up, he is the top ranked tackle from last years draft according to PFF

I have Pitts on one of my FF teams, definitely thinking this will be his breakout game
