Sloppy offense and good plays by defense, you know, due to sloppy offense. The Falcons haven't had that kind of pass rush in years. If the Vikings can apply the type of pressure the Packers or Bears did... it's going to be a long game. I just hope Koetter doesn't get screen happy again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And with all things considered that Green bay defense did what they were suppose to do. They looked good. And how soon we forget against a lesser QB with less offensive weapons, our vaunted 2017 falcons defense gave up more points than GB did last night. I know that. That wasn’t my point. roguebeaver 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If Matt is not erratic like Mitchell was and our receivers catch the ball like the bears didn't then we will be ok. Robinson was open...ALOT. As were other guys but bad throws or drops killed momentum. falcons007, PeytonMannings Forehead, Drew4719 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Falcons have questions when it comes to the trenches. Yes there were promising signs in pre-season but that's pre-season. And yes Matt will be light years better than Mitchey Trebiski. So it will be interesting to see how the Falcons play because historically the defense gets off to slow starts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't agree with Collinsworth much, but when Trubisky was getting those delay of games, you see it plain as day how missing PS impacted him.

Trubisky just looked erratic, and not because of lack of preseason play. He was missing by 10 - 15 yards at times. Guy has a gun, but he is all over the place. He's not the kind of QB that they need. With that Defense, they just need a game manager. Trubisky looks like he's going to make too many mistakes. I thought he got lucky a bunch of times, and with the high throws he kept missing on, he's going to get his receivers killed. vel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Open up the season and you throw the ball 45 times in a one score game and Trubisky was looking like that? Stupid. They deserved that loss. Didn't help their defense at all.

Outside of Rodgers and Adams, they still lack weapons. Graham will be good here and there, but they aren't good and I'm not convinced LaFleur will have it clicking.

That's on LaFleur to develop the other players. Once he and Rodgers can get on the same page, I think they're going to be okay. Last night Adams was drawing some double and triple teams so that's going to open the door for the other guys.

LaFleur and Rodgers have to trust them in order for them to prove themselves Marquez-whatever-whatever looks pretty good actually. And their TEs are strong. Aaron almost never throws to Tight Ends historically but if they feature Graham more he is still a top receiving TE despite clearly not being in his prime. Still, I'm also not too scared of the Pack. Going up against one of the top defenses on the road week 1 makes it tough to judge, but their o-line looked all sorts of awful. We'll see next week if it was purely a product of going against the Bears or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It took Atlanta a year to adjust. And while GB ran a WCO, it wasn’t very similar to the Shanny/McCay tree. There will be an adjustment period PeytonMannings Forehead and Drew4719 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
