That's what i always say, practice and preseason games do matter, and it showed today. Look how many of our main players never really played and alot didn't even really practice this off-season. The oline has hardly played together. Link to post Share on other sites

Who knows but it is fixable. Both on offense and defense I have very little hope that it will get fixed. Dan Quinn hasn't proven he can get the players to clean up sloppy mistakes. HeIl, Quinn hasn't even proven that he can clean up his own mistakes. rounz 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Guys not keep containment and letting the Vikings run outside several times all game. You look at the way the Falcons defense played the outside runs versus the way the Vikings played the outside runs and one team was disciplined and well coached and the other was not. Like I said, there was sloppy play to go around, but it's too soon to through in the towel IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, with our schedule being so division-oriented at the end, the NFL is setting up for division to possibly be a bunch of mediocre teams this year that fight it out to the last week of the season? And, don't forget the NFL will want the Thanksgiving game to be popular across the US. Link to post Share on other sites

Run-over The Vikings....That pass was a corner fade rote with a blocking TE (who knows Dirk's offense from his time in Tampa,). .....and he ran the wrong route..lol The Falcons had to run-the-ball well and more often inside in order to deceive The Vikings defense near the goal. Stocker is a TE. He's a receiving target like Hooper and he was moving in the direction that Matt was throwing but cut short. If this wasn't the case matt would have never thrown the ball the way he did. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know why the Falcons always start the season like this under Dan Quinn. I don't understand why this team always looks like they've never played football together before. The only good news is that in week 2 games under Dan Quinn the Falcons are undefeated. Falcons began Quinn's first season 6-0 in 2015. Maybe, because Shanahan did not give-and-take on the run though and Grady was a UT, and they had a big NT next to him. Ryan was still having problems passing early though Practice! Be hit in practice too! Get use to it! Get better. That give-up lob pass INT to Julio was a bail-out Link to post Share on other sites

Ergo Proxy 26,034 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Just heard DQ interview on radio. He sounded so disappointed in losing the TO battle so hard and getting us out of our run offense and with how poorly the run defense played. He sounded very short and deflated. He gotta take that frustration out on coaching these boys up man. PokerSteve 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That give-up lob pass INT to Julio was a bail-out Yes, they started 2015 5-0 but if you remember the season opener, they barely won it and tried their best to not win it because of lots of dumbassness in the 2nd against the Eagles. They were winning games that year to start the season but were hardly playing well. They had the miracle Alford interception in OT to beat the Redskins. There was the 10-7 "win" over the Titans. The Giants game they won on a last second score. Cowboys game where they were blown out in the 1st half and then somehow miraculously won in the 2nd half. Link to post Share on other sites

I had to laugh at the backbreaker play, though. We were in a prevent defense, yet they had two different receivers wide open. It looks like Pruitt can't run a defense unless it's all five-star recruits. You gotta believe they will turn it around Ergo Proxy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
