Da_Truth Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 So basically what any true Falcon fan already knew...defense has ALWAYS been the issue holding this team back. Arthur even knew and that's why he hired DQ to fix it. Instead he got a Seahawks fraud who got a job based on the defense Pete built. Why is DQ still here again?

FalconsIn2012 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Starting in 2008, Matt Ryan's rank in QBR by season: No. 3, 11, 3, 5, 6, 6, 9, (9, 1), 5, 9The seasons in parentheses are the two that Ryan had Kyle Shanahan as OC. The idea that Shanahan made Ryan is ridiculous Ryan has also been in the upper tier in Success Rate and Expected Points Added throughout his career. That means he keeps his offenses maximizing on their field position and scoring points at a higher rate than average quarterbacks. blizzard_falcon, Rings and Lethal 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32wood84white Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 This is why I can’t hate on DQ. What have we invested into this defense other than draft picks? The Seahawks nailed some draft picks for sure but the singed Avril, they signed Bennett. They added very good NFL players to that team. Weve added nothing to this defense while DQ has been here other than role players on the defense. We pretty much said DQ fix this defense with your defensive knowledge and scheme. But yet what talent have we added outside of the draft? As we all know the majority of our money is put into this offense and it reflects. We have to have talent on defense. I may be wrong but since DQ has been here our defensive signings have been Reed, Bailey, Davidson, Crawford, Shelby, Carter. May be missing some but all those guys are role players that work in situations. And none of them had the resume Avril and Bennett had going into Seattle.

So far you have the answer. SOOOO, WHAT team has won the Lombardi that didn't have a good defense? The Patriots didn't win all those SBs without having a really good defense; neither did the Giants, Ravens, Broncos, Saints, Colts, Steelers, Seahawks, Eagles, and just about every team before them. You can't win it all without a good defense, and the Falcons are always mediocre to bad when it comes to defense. Plain and simple.

With that being said, we have had plenty of good offenses in the Matt Ryan led era. Defense has definitely been the issue in this run. I don’t think there is any individual stat that tells the entire story, so I do think this stat is relevant to the story. Some people like to use scoring as the end all be all. Others use yards for rankings. If your defense can’t get off the field and you have less offensive drives, that helps explain lower scoring. If you have worse starting field position, it takes more yards to generate points, which also affects scoring output. Consistently being top 5 in yards per drive also tells me our offense doesn’t have a lot of 3 and outs compared to the rest of the league, which tells me our defense should have been well rested more frequently, but they still had unsatisfactory results. In other words, there’s no excuse for the consistently poor defensive performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcons007 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 You homers are trying too hard to convince folks about Matt Ryan. He has zero SB wins, I would trade him for Mariota straight up. Mariota beat Ryan in regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to imagine what this would be like if we fielded a defense ranked even in the top half of the league!. Or dare I say in the top quarter of the league. Not to mention if we’d fielded a consistent Oline over this span. MR has carried this franchise in so many ways. And still we have small minded fools out to berate him. Smh.
