Perhaps We Can All Agree On One Thing

[Magic Man]

I've seen a lot of people calling Ryan the problem. Calling the coaches the problem, calling TD the problem, but the truth is, this thing is broken. The entire team from top to bottom needs to be reviewed and looked at, to see if we can move forward and finally create a winner that can also transfer that success to the Postseason. For me there is not one place that all the blame falls...it falls on this entire organization. The Falcons are the problem.

To listen to Blank's comments after the game, TD and Smith are safe, so those arguments, no matter how valid can be put to rest, but no player, and everyone knows I love Ryan, but NO player is safe now. This team has shown over and over and over (3 overs for the amount of playoff losses) that they cannot compete with teams with playoff teams, and this year, we knew it, but many (like myself), continued to buy this bill of goods that this was a good team that would eventually hit it's stride.

It's taken a third consecutive loss in three consecutive ties to realize that this team has hit it's ceiling, as currently constructed. Without changes to coaching and personnel, this team will always be good, but not great.

Can you link Blank's quotes? I've scanned most news sites and hadn't heard where he implied Smitty and TD were safe.

You have finally seen the light. That Jim Collin statement sums it up, and our past arguments were exactly about that.

I think most everyone with eyes could see that Mike Mularkey was the team's biggest problem yesterday.

Just the play calls on the 1 yard conversion plays are enough for me to determine that.

I think a lack of passion and fire is the biggest missing piece here. The offense looked downright lifeless yesterday and that starts in the locker room and coaches/team leaders. Nobody on offense played well yesterday including Ryan (whom I am a fan of). The o line blew, Roddy dropped passes, TG disappeared for long stretches and Turner's performance was disappointing albeit mainly because the o line couldn't nut up to the giants' d line.
