ATLFalcons11 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I think that points directly talent actually...can't make chicken salad from chicken ****....Nah that's effort. Every player in the NFL can tackle on that play. Every player in college can tackle on a play like that.That's plain and simple effort and attitude and we don't have enough of it. Not sure how it came this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exp Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 The team as a whole is poorly coached, imo. I think quinn may be focusing too much on making practice fun and enjoyable, rather than the **** it should be. Speculation, of course.

Not sure how it came this wayI agree 100% and I may be parsing by saying "talent" but I'm lumping it together like this...they suck, and they're soft!! Decoud would fit perfectly here...You cant pull hunger and motivation out of everybody, and if youre repeatedly trying to pull something like grit out of players for years, they just don't have it.

FalconinPA Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 And the missed tackles continue. Same problem Smitty had. Are we still playing players out of position or can we finally admit we've been Troffed in the talent department?Yes FFS1970, we have definitely been Troffed!

Atlfanstckndenver Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I thought it was literally all on Matt Ryan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu 7 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Old habits die hard.Especially since 2 of the 3 guys responsible weren't on the team last year and are 'Quinn guys' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 During the Falcons 1-6 slide...the Falcons are averaging 16.3 PPG on offense.The defense is holding opponents to a respectable 20.7 PPG during this same stretch.The average NFL team scores 23.2 PPG in 2015.We also allow the most plays per drive. Offenses stay on the field, control the clock and don't have to score alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high impact Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 During the Falcons 1-6 slide...the Falcons are averaging 16.3 PPG on offense.The defense is holding opponents to a respectable 20.7 PPG during this same stretch.The average NFL team scores 23.2 PPG in 2015.Well the sad thing is the defense should be taking control of the games. The Falcons have only played 1 team with a winning record. Don't get me wrong the Offense has been pure garbage. From what I have seen the team as a whole looks like a trash heap. I am still not sold on the coaching staff that has been put together. Looks like the players are for sure not on board with them as well. This game today is going to really hurt to watch. The Falcons will be on the field that is a given. Just they will look like they are still back in training camp just going through the motions. We won't see any sacks form our defense. Then Cam will just run wild on the front 7 and look like an all-pro throwing the ball. Our offense will continue to turn the ball over and Matt will still look like he has never played a pro-game. The O-Line will still look like the three stooges only with a few more stooges involved. This season can't end soon enough. All I hope for today is this team looks like they have got something going in the right direction please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell us all again about how good you feel the defense is. Some of you guys just kill me with your selective stat gathering to make patently absurd points. Of course, since you feel Matt Ryan is the fundamental problem with the team, and since that is not true, I suppose you have to twist stats to support your tenuous opinion.

You were one of those who argued vehemently with me when I said our team has a LOT more problems than Matt Ryan and if Matt simply stopped throwing picks we'd still get destroyed by teams like the Panthers and get embarrassed against any playoff team. You took great offense to my point.Here we are at halftime, Matt has thrown no picks, and we are getting absolutely destroyed 28-0, just exactly as I said would happen. This exposes you guys frail contention that Matt Ryan was the fundamental problem with our team. Our team has a LOT of problems just as I said.
