capologist Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 How dare you bring facts and rational thinking here! Ok, seriously:Absolutely and the defense is better and will be even better next season. The offense needs work but that will come along as well. People need to realize that you just don't turn a franchise around in 1 offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDaveG Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Nonsense. This team should be 0-14 right now. We only won 7 lucky games because the other team laid down and died.#ShannyQunnitroffNoodleArmBustNotToddGurley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only won 7 lucky games because the other team laid down and died. #ShannyQunnitroffNoodleArmBustNotToddGurley Many, if not MOST NFL teams win by luck and the bounce of the ball. Jerry Rice, the greatest WR to ever play the game......who won umpteen games and titles..........admitted a few years ago that most of his outstanding long yardage plays were BROKEN plays and that many of their victories were PURE LUCK. Nothing has changed in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to realize that you just don't turn a franchise around in 1 offseason. While I 100 percent agree with you both on all points you mentioned, there's still something to be said about our regression offensively. Collapses like this don't just happen all the time. So yea, to me that's pretty concerning, mostly because I'm tired of feeling like this organization is wasting the prime years of all of our most valuable assets year after year. So ultimately my concern rests solely with the offense. Many questions to be answered. Sure, we can upgrade the o line and even receiver and tight end, but the question still remains: is this going to work? Other than that I believe we've actually seen progress that's mostly going unrecognized. I think it was foolish to expect a championship caliber team this year so let's just sit back and watch the show without freaking out so much. Ahhhh nm. This is tatf.

slamee101 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 But isn't our record a little better than the past two years?Our D got better, our O got worse. We have 1 more win than last year but with how weak our schedule was I don't really feel like we're better. I pretty much feel like we're the same.

apl2g Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 But isn't our record a little better than the past two years?I agree. I made this point in 1 of the other threads. It's year 1 with a whole new offensive and defensive system and the record is better. This team will be fine. It just takes time when you are putting new systems in and a new HC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCFalconfan Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 This schedule was so weak its ridiculous. Not only did we play a lot of bad teams but we even got them with their backup QB. Just a decent team should have at least 10 wins right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlot Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 If it was reverse and we were on a 5 game win streak now, I think we'd all feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E. T. Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm willing to give the new staff the benefit of the doubt simply because of the learning curve on both the coaches and the players. But dayum...when things were not evolving like they should have, wouldn't you think some adjusting should have been done so the season would not be a total loss. This was no doubt a total embarrassing learning curve of epic proportions on both ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 We have been a lot healthier this year than in the past. Grabbing improvements on defense and the offense what to get its act together might be pretty good. We just need to knock off all the penalties and turnovers all the mistakes.

DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 This season is a classic example of how the sequencing of things can distort the overall perception. We're a super mediocre football team. The very definition of it. But by winning 6 of our first 7, people thought we were more than that. Then, by losing 6 in a row, people thought we were worst than that. In reality? We're sitting with a point differential of -10 and a 7-7 record. There's a decent chance we end up at 8-8. IDK...I think that's about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4dabirds Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 But isn't our record a little better than the past two years?The record may be better, but it is equally if not more disappointing to me at least. Losing is losing, and mistakes are what this season was all about. The Falcons stink just as bad as they did last year, if not more, because they had an easier schedule and could have done really well.

falconsd56 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I think the issue for a lot of us the fact that we have under performed. We should have a better record than we do. We are better than a 7 win team but we have not shown that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing as a weak schedule or easy game. This isn't college!! You don't have cupcake games.You're right about it not being college. However, when you lose games to teams starting their back-up QB's, or to a team that has probably the worst defense in the league, then yes the Falcons played a weak schedule and are at 500 as a result of it. I'm not saying that the Falcons should have won those games, but you can't say they weren't favored to win at least 4 of the 7 they lost, and for good reason. The reality is, that the Falcons are a terrible team right now, and will have to do a lot over the offseason to correct the many problems.
