I Just Now Realized

Yup. Your defense played lights out Sunday. They are the only reason you didn't get shut out. Lot of people are giving them flak for giving up some big plays, but come on, really? How long can you expect a defense to hold out without some offensive support. It was 10-3 late in the 3rd, and should have been 10-9 if you would have kicked field goals instead of turning it over twice on 4th down. Those big plays didn't come until later, and how many resulted in the pressure the D was under to make something happen? By that time they probably had it in their heads it was up to them to score since the offense couldn't.

The one thing I noticed is that Atlanta is the most predictable and least creative offensive teams in the league, and Smith certainly doesn't know how to adapt and make adjustments. He just sticks with the exact same thing that isn't working all game. On top of that, Mike Smith has got to be one of the most boring and mundane coaches in the NFL. He couldn't inspire a flea to jump, and he's got the emotion of a dead moth.

That's got to make it hard for Matt Ryan and other players to on board with his gameplans, and in turn be very motivated. I just can't imagine they have that close friendship and chemistry that other coaches have with their QBs. I don't see Mike Smith and Ryan sitting down in a room going over plays and working together. But what do I know? Maybe they do.

Ryan seems like he lost faith in Smitty and Mularkey a while hack. He's just too nice to say so. Edited by Gonzalez
