mc Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Matt is making some horrible decisions. That int was the worse thing I have seen him throw. He had Jenkins and White wide open and he had time to throw.He also is thinking he is MV or something. Even with good protection, after 2 reads he is pulling the ball down and trying to run with it. Matt looked better in the 2nd half but he never looked that shook up last year at all, even in the 1st tampa game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWIFT HITTER Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 that int was brutal . I almost felt like punching him in the face for that throw. He has White singled on outside vs Hall and he had Jenkins middle of the field wide open. He throws into triple coverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Masked Falcon Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I liked what Fox commentator Daryl "Moose" Johnston said about Ryan towards the end of the game today....Not exact words but something to this effect:"Some people down here have been recently doubting Ryan. That is absurd. You have your franchise quarterback."So hmmmmmmm.....Do I listen to people like Steve Young, Brian Baldinger, Troy Aikman and Daryl Johnston or the ever-increasing number of trolls and/or doubters on this message board?

Big Zee Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 There's no question Matt is in a slump right now. With that said, there's no doubt in my mind he will come out of his funk soon and lead us in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowcountry Falcon Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 slumping - yesbut he will pull out of it. The run game will just need to continue to step up to cover.Matt will get out of it. He will figure it out. Our coaching staff teamed with his work ethic are a force to be reckoned with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons_own_nfc_south Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 3 and long.. Matty looks for Gonzo.. Hopefully he will learn with one more year experience that he doesn't have to force the ball into triple coverage every time.He has only played 24 regular season game and Falcons are 16-8.. I'll take that any day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to start getting it together. 7 TD's and 2 INT's in the first 4 games. 6 TD's and 8 INT's in the past 4 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the baptist Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 ..what could they have told him? we are going to kill your dog if you keep completing passes.... Its funny, but im serious, there are all types of things that a man doesnt want to hear, I had it happen to me, when I almost got into a fight with somebody on the basketball courtWe were jawing back and forth and I told him something he didnt want to hear, We still lost the game but I could tell that what I had said to him really got to himSame look Ryan had, except the guy I played shook it offTo whoever said they are not convinced he is the Franchise, Dont be, you have a right to your opinionHe made a believer out of me a while back in the Denver Broncos game, so I wont doubt that he has a future this being his 2nd year in the leagueHe has to shake whatever happen to him in the Dallas game off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autigerfan Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 That INT was unacceptable. Matt has definitely looked much more rattled the last 3 or 4 games than he has at any point in his career. I hope he gets out of this funk soon and the Ice returns to his veins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice of Reason Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 When you commit to your running game, the passing stats suffer. We all knew this coming into this season. We have an extremely balanced team. We can attack in a myriad of ways. Some teams we'll be able to run on. Other teams, we might choose to throw more. Very few teams are balanced enough on defense to force us to mix up our primary attack. So, we'll have very few games where all of our offensive numbers look impressive. But when we choose a method of attacking, it doesn't mean the other part of our offense is struggling. Earlier in the season, everyone was talking about how our running game was struggling and our passing game was struggling with regards to the wideouts. But Gonzo was looking great. Then we started using our wideouts more, and all of a sudden Gonzo and Turner are struggling. Now, Turner has been effective for two weeks. But our passing game is struggling? See the relation here? When we focus on one aspect of our offense, it doesn't neccessarily mean we are struggling with the other aspects. It just means we are choosing a certain way to attack the opponent. For instance, Redskins had the #2 ranked passing defense in the NFL. Therefore, we chose to stick with running the ball. Our starting running back just put up 150+ yards, and this was with very limited carries since our defense couldn't get off the field much of the second half. Not to mention, our #1 WR is a bit banged up. But to suggest Ryan is struggling is simply focusing too much on the snap shot and not looking at the big picture.

Guest The Masked Falcon Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Three bad games in a row for Matt Ryan. Thankfully Turner is rolling now.I wouldn't qualify today as a "bad" game.....He threw one really crappy pick....His completion percentage was over 70% and he had a TD pass. One of the best pass defenses in the NFL....Not a great game....you could even make the argument that it wasn't a good game for Ryan either, but considering all the factors about today's game I think it's a stretch to label it as a bad game.
