30/36, 356 yds, 4 tds, 0 int great job leading the Falcons to another loss draft Fields, we need a scrambling QB, that was a Dawg (before leaving for greener pastures that is)

Leading the league in TDs, #2 in yards, #2 completion percentage, #7 QBR, #10 yards per attempt.... But yeah, let's keep looking for issues with Matt...

We really gonna ***** about everything.

ATLANTA Morning News - A 15 year old boy was at the center of a FULTON County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the ATLANTA FALCONS, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

A lesson to some of you, sometimes you have to lose a battle to in the war. Those 3 wins at the end of last year obviously did not carry over any momentum to this season, did not inspire our coaches or players to perform better this year. The only thing it did was give us a mid round pick in each draft round. Not only did this impact our pick in the 1st rd it also lessened the value of our picks in each rd. With a top 5 pick which we were on pace for even if we drafted the same players in the first couple of rounds we could have traded back instead of traded up and gotten more picks.As we see this year depth is still a problem, we certainly could have used some more weight across the DL which an extra pick or two could have gotten us if we did not have to trade up for a second OL. Sometimes a long term strategy comes into play when you are having a losing season and have no shot at the playoff's. Those games at the end of last year meant nothing and hurt the long term progress for this team.

Plain and simple. DQ thought he could change a man. He learned a valuable lesson. You can't.

Here's my solution. Fire Thomas Dimitroff right now. Start the GM search. Keep quiet about coaching changes for the time being, but the plan should be to let the new GM decide whether to keep Quinn for another season or move on. If we move on (we almost certainly will), let the new GM hire the new coach. That way you aren't "giving up on the season," but if changes are made, you are at least not doing the same thing you did with the last 2 hires, which is let TD have a large say in who the chef is and then stock the pantry with rotten food.

Feel bad for him at this point. Just get the dude a coach before he croaks of old age ffs

50 a game from this offense would probably result in an 8-8 season

Slum agrees with you. Ryan is the #1 problem with this team

Y’all begging for that right now, gonna be wishing it never happened in the end. The best thing to do is to go ahead and draft a capable replacement and go the full Aaron Rodgers route. The dead cap space alone makes you say what AB said. You gotta pay me so you may as well play me. I could be wrong about that though. It’s my understanding that dead cap space is the remaining guaranteed money owed. Which is why Arizona is still paying 3 qbs that aren’t on their roster this season

3rd degree burns don't heal in a week. Makes sense.

Not surprised you make things up about someone to push your agenda. Anxiety issues...okay doc.

Define “improvement”, because that vagueness doesn’t sound like a mandate for wins. Holding teams under 500 yard a game, keeping the Rams under 40?

He's got to many mismatch talents and over estimated his ability to make it work. I still like the guy and think he can still be a good DC. He just has too many athletes and not enough football players. @Knight of God said it and I didn't want to believe him, but it's true. Guys who have traits but lack situational, football awareness.

Just to point out... Panthers picked up Poe and Irving from the Falcons and McCoy from Tampa AND then drafted a DE. They take the dline seriously there

Tell it to KS and SAN Fran there using an exact form of a cover 3.I wonder if that applies to them aswell.

When I saw this tweet on Sunday, I knew this episode was coming.

Falcons need to be smart and honest with themselves and flip Trufant while they can. Philly and KC lost out on Ramsey and absolutely would entertain a Trufant deal.

STOP TRYING TO OUST SANU Sheeeesh. He's one of the FEW players we have with HEART.

Practice also does not seem to work. Maybe they should cut that out too.

DQ is the DC. The defensive coordinator of this team is doing a terrible job. They are the worst defense in the NFL. The previous DC was fired and replaced with the current DC because he was going to do a better job. He is failing at that. Hence, firing the DC is a no brainer. It just so happens to be the HC. DQ made this bet. He's losing it and at the same time losing his job in the process. The offense took their lumps but are finding their footing. If they win any games in the near future, it will be because of the offense scoring 50 points because 30 clearly doesn't cut it. Smitty got fired for less. He was 2-6 by the bye week. DQ is headed for a worse output with an easily more talented roster.

We’re a Nelson Agholor drop from being 0-6

There’s nothing wrong with Matt Ryan. Half the teams in the league would love to have him.

If Miami is trying to lose why would they be trying to pick up any player?

That’s a lot to give up. they probably figured it was a good week to bring him along slowly w an easy win on the schedule

Pump in the booing.

An extra point wouldn’t have sent the game to OT. AZ had plenty of time and time outs to score.

Yup..,,this team would be 5-1 instead of 1-5 if we had tanked (purposely lost) those 3 games. lesson learned.

I’m getting too old for this game so I’m gonna sign off with this era. I’m gonna always wish this team and ESPECIALLY these fans who have endured more than they should have good luck, but I’m out. There is, unfortunately, gonna come a time where a lot of us gonna realize we’ve given too much time to a such a game of randomness, injuries, coaching, money, pain, endurance, lack there of, and shame to this game but there is no logical reason this left sided brain guy can come up with to continue on. For real I know it’s gonna sound like the wimp way to go out but I hv enjoyed the Tandys, Birdweissers, Ya Boys, and all the other crazed fans that drove my fandom here on this msgb, but I gotta move on. I wish you all the best knowing one day I’m gonna be at a bar somewhere when this team wins it all wishing I didn’t post this. That’s when I will tip my hat and say well at least they were strong enough for I am not. Just hope that happens before I die. Peace out Falcon Nation y’all are the best...

See ya next week!

Every pick they have needs tO go to the dline and improving the pass rush

Matt Ryan - 30/36 (83.3%), 356 YDS (9.9), 4 TD, 0 INT, 144.9 QB Rating Leads the offense to 33 points, and yet I know some people gonna find away to blame yet another loss on him!!

Throw in the Jags and Chargers, too. Edit: also the Cowboys.

Me - Head Coach @Knight of God - Assistant Head Coach @TheFatboi - Offensive Coordinator @vel - Defensive Coordinator @FalconFanSince1970 - General Manager

That's why its all the more disappointing what has transpired recently. Quinn appears to be a reflective and open-minded soul, and the sound reasoning he displayed upon taking the job (first draft/hiring KS) seems to fallen by the wayside as he drifts without an identity. Its possibly 28-3 did long-term psychic damage. I expect us to move on from him shortly, but will look back fondly on many moments from his tenture, and wish him well in the future.

I'd love to see what Matt does when he gets on fire...

Matt Ryan is for real the unluckiest QB in NFL history. Why can’t he have just one of Brady’s lucky plays? Tuck rule Vinateri bail out Shanked FG’s Good OL’s Consistent, quality HC and OC Good defenses Dee Ford jumps offsides negating the game-ending INT Team makes a bone headed decision at the 1 in the Super Bowl Team completely implodes in the Super Bowl Play in a really bad division In the same moment, in big moments, Ryan’s teammates negate the big play with a dumb penalty, the ball hits off the WR’s hands and miraculously bounces right into the hands of the defender, the coaches just suck, or a kicker misses something. Can this guy just get one lucky break or something?

More like 3/4 of the league. Matt Ryan is a legit top 5 QB in the nfl

The only thing they need to do is stop trying to force Matt to throw 40+ downfield to Julio. Just keep the **** simple and draw up short and medium routes. I know Matt can throw that far so no one has to come in here showing a clip from last season. leave all that 50-60 yard bomb stuff to the young qbs with the super strong arms and play smart. You don’t see Brees, Brady, and Rivers OC trying to force them to do too much. Dirk or whoever else it will be needs to take a page from that book. Don’t need that home run play every possession.

This isn’t the way the scheme was designed to be played. As vel pointed out, there are checks built into every call that’s supposed to adjust to certain formations, certain route combinations, etc. Don’t know where the disconnect is coming from — our DB/Passing Game Coordinator, I’m looking at you, but no scheme is designed to do this. I’ve never been a huge fan of Tru’s “football instincts”, that’s why I don’t even trip that he doesn’t always shadow the number one receiver, or looks lost when a ball carrier breaks into the open field towards him, but ****, that play at the 2:20-something mark against the Colts he’s a vet. Yeah he’s got deep 1/3 but you let the receiver eat up that cushion so you can drive on that hook. He keeps bailing like he’s afraid to get beaten over the top despite the scouting report and ALL the film coming into the game that the Colts don’t push the ball over the top. Smh.

The funny thing is that he's a Texans fan. Rather than being excited for the win, he's pissed off at how poorly coached we are lol.

I hope

The life story wrote by my gf

Lol the offense isn't the problem. They can score 50 points on Sunday against this Rams defense, the Falcons defense will give up 51.

Dam yall be crying about nothing

When he took over play-calling during our Super Bowl run, the group looked transformed. That's the case again, but not in a positive way this time ...
