Peyton

I was also sitting behind the Falcons bench and concur with the OP. This defense specifically has no confidence in themselves.

The loss to the Niners 42-3 where Deion had the 100 yard pick six and told everybody the GA Dome was his house has to be way up there.

That dude is a grade A bust.

On the road. IMO the only teams the Falcons should be favored against are the Redskins and Dolphins. I am thinking about picking the Cardinals in my Survivor pool.

I understand what you are saying because obviously Dan Quinn didn't just forget how to coach somewhere along the way. The problem doesn't seem to be predictable schemes, but just that all the players are playing the schemes very badly. Unfortunately for DQ, getting the players to play well is also his job.

As Stray pointed out Mark Bradley wrote a "Quinn's done" bit just the other day.

I don't know that anything can be done this year. All of the cornerbacks are completely worthless and there are worthless players on all other levels of the defense as well.

Quinn is in a bind because the back 7 consists of 2 players who can play, 4 that just can't, and one that can but just doesn't give a d*MN. The front 4 isn't that much better. Unfortunately for Quinn, much of that is on him too. On top of that, the confidence in what he is trying to do is shot for the whole bunch. Yeah I'd say he is in trouble.

Today we are going to find out if these players are still buying what Dan Quinn is selling.

The Falcons are going to win today. This is my first game attended in 9 years and I didn't fly myself out here from Richmond to watch them lose. Ya'lll rest easy :).

Matt's not perfect but he's the best QB this franchise ever had by a wide margin and he's not going to be easily replaced.

I think maybe we still need to hold off on that true strength stuff. I mean that was just ........what was that?

It's hard to worry too much about who is getting the catches when a team goes Fg, TD, TD, TD to finish a game and the QB completes 22 of 23 and converts 8 or 9 third downs in a row.

Matt Ryan completed 22 out of 23 passes in the second half and the Falcons were 9 for 9 on 3rd downs I think. I think there is evidence to suggest that the offense is rounding into synch. Oh yeah, and 3 for 3 in the red zone.

Well about 30% of his attempts have come under Koetter, so it's not that big of a discrepancy. Honestly just about all of the INTs this year have just been really bad plays by Matt. I almost think it's a result of treating the preseason like BS even when changing systems.
