TheFalcoholic 4,067 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Great season by Julio. Led the NFL in receiving with 1,677 yards. The touchdowns took a while to get started, but he ended up tying his second best TD season with 8 total. Will be interested to see how we handle an extension in the offseason.

Just another reason Sark should go... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t understand why either of them did it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brown's absence is fascinating, especially with Ju-Ju so high. AJ had that freak toe injury and only played in eight full games plus about five plays of another one. He was pacing for almost 1,400 yards before that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jidady 10,356 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 We're only four months past people calling Julio a selfish player that the Falcons didn't need. Let me be clear. We NEED him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Godzilla1985 6,706 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Congrats Hoo!! Now someone update his wikipedia page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MilleniumFalcon 3,084 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) George Kittle though what a beast. Maybe the Falcons would've drafted him in the 5th round last season if Kyle stuck around instead of going to the 49ers.

bigfreize 85 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Thats a sizable margin between JJ11 and #2. I love that he is a Falcon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kiwifalcon 19,715 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Mike Evans production impresses me 20 less receptions and he’s right there yards wise.Pity he’s wasted in Tampa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AJ got injured weeks ago and we all know Brown and Pittsburgh in general got off to a bumpy start. **** at one point it seemed they were trying to find a way to faze him out of the offense. He finished with 102 for 1297 and 15 tubs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlazerSlayer 433 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Mike Evans does a great job considering his QB's. From watching the games, I feel there was a concerted effort to target Julio for TD's more. Interesting that the argument from some here is that Julio wasn't given many redzone chances but now is, so Sark should be fired. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1989Fan 16,047 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Great job JJ! He does it under harder circumstances than any other WR in the league. Hopefully that will change as CR emerges and he can do even more big things. most impressive thing on that list is 15.6 ypr from Kittle at the TE position though, wow!

Now you wanna get rid of Sark when Julio is on a run of five or so games straight with a TD? He finished with 8 after not getting his first one until week 7. That means in the second half of the season he was averaging a TD a game. Sark needs to stay. You don't kill the momentum, you build on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was on a "fire him" moment then. But if it was Sark or Bevell? You stick with Sark IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sarks inconsistency has sealed his fate.Also think Knapp is lucky to still have a job also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It could lead to an interesting off season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
