Well, I said before this last draft.

[Draftnut57 3,311]

 Got a post somewhere back before the draft.. that said,,  I wish we would get our OL fixed with proven veterans ... And draft every thing else..  It's really hard to get an OL in the draft that can come in immediately and Get the job done.. It's just a saver way to make sure that is taken care of.. And with Ryan depending on the OL,, it is a big deal...  I was hoping we wouldn't do that.. But we did..  I'd love to have gotten Christian Wilkins with our pick , and we could have with both first round picks to have gone up three picks to  get him.. ,, that was the player I really wanted badly....  He's going to be a Grady type DT.  Could you imagine having two DT that can rush the QB.. Oh well, we'll hope for best this year and hope we can just get to the playoffs.;;;;;  I knew this first game would be the hardest one of the year.. and having to play them on he road. 

[sdogg 8,057]

I felt the same way. Hated our off-season moves. Did not like the idea of having to rely on 2 rookies to protect the franchise QB. It's idiotic. Then like you said, we missed out on getting a stud to go along with Grady.

Yet it was the veteran free agent James Carpenter who played the worst.

You also said this is the best Falcons team you've ever seen lmao. You can't just spew a billion things and pick and choose which to use to claim you knew all along.

But watch us win the next 3 games and you'll be referencing that thread instead

No that would have been Matthews or McGary

[Bobby.Digital 3,846]

Nobody could have foreseen what happened to Lindsteom who has looked solid so far. This is coming from someone who wanted Brian Burns who's looked like a monster for the Panthers. We needed young oline talent and from what I've seen so far from Lindstrom and McGary looked like great picks. It's actually our veteran Matthews and Brown who looked like garbage yesterday.

Ironically, it was our First, 1st round pick that had the best performance of the day.  Sadly, he's out for 8 weeks with a broken foot.

[vel 26,246]

Lindstrom gave up no pressure before getting hurt. Our Pro Bowl LT was beat for a sack on the very first play and embarrassed routinely. So....what exactly...nevermind. I'll just leave.

Carpenter. Brown was inactive.

Dumb Dummy tried to emulate Colts last years draft.

 

[THEHEADCOACH 2,112]

The thing about the OL, if its no good, it makes your best players worthless. Same with the Dline.

[tl;dr 6,948]

I like McGary and Lindstrom. I think we made 2 good picks there. Mack is still solid, but the left side of the line worries me. I think we made 2 good picks this year and you will see it later on.

We need a DT and some CB's like no one's business though. 

[grandcanyonaz 9]

They have no cap space to sign anyone worth anything for the oline so they have to pick players off the scrap heap and pay them league minimums.

Matthews. By far.  The experience and  talent level dictate a higher ceiling than a rookie so his level of suck was e pone finally worse. 

[PriMeTiiMe 4,177]

Lindstrom before getting hurt and McGary both did good. The right side actually played great for 2 rookies starting in their first game.

The problem was Jake Matthews getting beat by a spin move over and over and James Carpenter struggling heavily.

The tackles weren't the problem.  Tak and vic not containing and the backers plus safeties not filling lanes killed us.

Guys are overreacting to the Oline play, we saw what to Oline was going to look like in our next to last preseason game when we didn't go up against a vanilla defense. They looked terrible and lost.  Guys said it was a learning experience. You have to realize that replacing 60% of your starting Oline requires time for them to gel. IIRC some guys were saying it may take up to game 6 to see consistently good line play. What did you expect to see when our Oline's (5 guys playing their 1st NFL game together) first game is against the best defense in the NFL? So step back, take a breath, and chill.  With all that being said, Philly's defense is not too big a step down from Minny's, so while I expect improved play and pray for a win, 0-2 is a real possibility.

Their defensive line is better than Minny’s, and about 8 deep.  Luckily their secondary isn’t as good.  When our o-line did give Ryan time, there was no one open a good chunk of the time and he forced it.  Hopefully that isn’t the case Sunday night.

As I see it besides the obvious early short field TD opportunities we gave the Vikings.... we lost because our offense played to the strength of the Vikings' D, which is rushing the passer.   That's a bad thing to do when you are trying to settle in two rookies on your O line.   Best thing to do, would have been to play smash mouth football by running straight at those DE's.  Wear down that defense with some straight up power run plays.   Then pass off play action.

Of course even that strategy was set up to fail when we inactivated our huge OG Brown plus -both- our biggest backs, Hill and Allison.   Imagine if we got into a short yardage situation, who was going to run the ball?

This team, I swear....

Exactly!  This team is not well coached.
