That guy..........is a moron. close to being a bum? GTFOHWTBS.

You're kind of making Matt's case even stronger pointing out we're dead last in run yardage, Also, name any QB you think is good that wasn't blessed with weapons their entire career.

This thread is stupid. Aaron Rodgers, arguably the absolute best QB in the league is 5-7-1

Trufant is not trying. When you do not attempt to make a tackle, that is the very definition of not trying.

I didn't watch the entire game but I must admit Riley was stopping people in their tracks from what I did see of him.

Pardon me are we talking about a different Sark? Because, before this season started 87% of y'all wanted Steve Sarkisian booted outta here.

I think it could have been the field conditions. Both had sloppy fields after rainstorms and college games played prior.

Yep, that's the play right there that just turned me off on Trufant. That SOB just stood there and watched while someone else came up to make the tackle. Get his B...*** out of here.

Making Grandma proud.

Look man this is what's going to happen. The offense is still going to ball out. They are going to continue to get better and continually score a lot of points. Our suck *** defense is going to be a suck *** defense but they will get better. It is going to take time and evaluation and scheme to get these guys playing as good as they're going to get. If they can keep opponents under 21 points a game, we're going to win a lot more than we're going to lose and the blessing in this is that all of those starters we lost we lost super early and this group of defenders will get to grow together. Is it ideal? Heck no! but that's how it's going to shake out. Our offense is going to keep it moving and our defense will tighten up just enough for us to win. With Jones coming back and Kazee filling in ok at FS soon SS will be our only major loss on D. The last two years our defense seemed to save their very best for the end of the season and postseason, maybe that happens again.

Julio out here breakin ref's ankles.

If this is dirty than all defenders that hit players below the waist in the knee/ankle area are also dirty. It'd be interesting to see 190 DB's have to tackle 230lb backs or TE's and not be able to tackle them low.

The thing is though, these players have to deliver enough force to grown *** men (especially guys like Newton) to take them to the ground. It is just not possible to hit a man with that needed force and somehow change your body positioning,.03 seconds after contact. Other than that, a player can hesitate to think how they'd tackle the QB but then there's the possibility of getting Brian Poole'd.

We've had plenty of flash in the pan seasons. Did it bring us a Lombardi? You could even consider our 2016 as a flash in the pan season. We had 4 rookies start on defense and after 2015 no one thought we'd make it to the superbowl and then 28-3.

It's week 3 of the season. A lot can happen between now and the end of the season. We will be getting Jones back at some point. We scored 37 freaking points, and normally that will be enough to win a game. I want our team to have the best chance to win every year, not go all in one year with no guarantee's that going all in wins us a Lombardi. I'm not ok with not seeing a Lombardi in Atlanta, I do though want a team that is contention every year and not a flash in the pan once every decade.
