FalconsIn2012 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 It wasn’t just the offense that let us down today. You won’t win if your defense allows 9 yards per play. Looking at you Trufant & Alford. Our veterans!!! Once again both lost individual matchups quickly at the line of scrimmage which resulted in chunk plays throughout the game. Why didn’t we keep the lineup that worked last week? Leave Oliver at outside corner. And honest to God, Trufant ran away from Chubb on the 92 yard run. He should be embarrassed for allowing his game check to be directly deposited. I couldn’t be an owner cause I’d be in an apoplectic rage if I paid him millions every year only to have him play like a *****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw him avoiding tackles vs the Skins too, but everyone was pmaying so well, it didn't matter. And I agree about the same lineup as last week. But, it would only make sense to play the DBs that laid waist to Washington. Alford, ugh!!! I'll take Oliver every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Ergo Proxy Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I haven’t even watched the game yet and can tell you we lost due to Browns playing keep away and our offense not being dynamic. You don’t get ran on for 200 yards like the Panthers and win without high level points per drive. We sucked on 3rd down on O and that’s directly related to our own run game. Sum of game before I even hit play: One team ran ball well and the other didn’t. You simply don’t win many games when one team can run it at you all game and another throw it’s 50+ times with limited sustained drives as a result of becoming 1 dimensional in a game tempo of keep away. The rest is emotional rants without accepting this basic fundamental football truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCFalconfan Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Not to worry, our defensive brain trust we hired from Seattle is gonna fix this any year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an ugly game all around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an ugly game all around That's what I'm saying. You look at the basic stat lines and it tells you how this game went. Exactly how it went. Feels like the Panthers game in Carolina last year. They ran for over 200 on us. We struggled offensively in response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I was thinking about that mantra yesterday. I kept thinking what a foolish motivational tool it was. And did the players actually understand not to take the statement literally… LOL.

Ever since they lost superbowl they have been embracing suck. They are soo deeply scarred, not sure if they will recover. Todays loss showed how deeply flawed this team is in terms of preparation, playcalling & execution. Our window to Superbowl is shut for years.

ParanoidAndroid Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Yeah, we probably would have lost anyways even if the offense was playing better. The defense had no answer for anything. I'm ready to bench Tru til he can show some effort out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
