Faithful Falcon 7,833 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 The reality is that he's telling the truth. We had a bad game vs the Saints, Seahawks, and Packers. We threw away the Cowboys, Lions, Panthers, and Bears. As much as some of us may hate to hear it, we're not that bad of a team. Between Dirk and the OL, I really can't say that the Saints dominated us either. CADirtyBird, Vandy, Ovie_Lover and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dem Birds 10,435 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 It's not untrue in a lot of ways. I certainly wouldn't say we have a great defense, I'd say they have the potential to be a much better defense than they have been. He's blowing a little smoke to be certain but he probably does believe some of it. PokerSteve, Atl Falcon and mtldirtybird 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jpg428gggg 1,631 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Here is the thing. Our record is what it is. We have choked too often late in games. With that said, we are a dangerous team for anyone looking to make the playoffs. We have enough talent to beat just about anyone. The issue is consistency, coaching, and bad game management.

We are not all that good. Every year the pretenders come out and claim Falcon greatness only to end the season beat down and defeated. No more rosey excuses. We suk. Oline has more holes than a hookers fishnets and the Dline could not cover a reciever if they were handcuffed to them. Stopping the run is a crapshoot.

falcndave 4,683 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I don't think he is wrong outside of his comments on the defense being "good." There are things about it that are good, but it is way too easy to pass on to be good. That said, with no improvements or changes at all, they could easily be 6-4 right now. Just imagine a world in which Quinn was still hanging on and many here were still clinging to hope that the team has an actual chance this season.

KamiKazee27 1,145 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I think we have a chance to win against every team we play, but since we're a bad team I wonder which part of the team is going to let us down. Faithful Falcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhenFalconsWin 27,930 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Truth is Chuckie doesn't watch our games. We suck in the trenches, have nearly no running game (especially when it counts) and the back end of our defense is atrocious. Other than that...yeah, whatever.

Sadly I'd watch... I proposed a system like this that would discourage tanking. In the new system of 7 playoff teams. This is only for the first round Draft order is: Picks 1-6 : the top 3 non playoff teams in each conference participate in a lottery Picks 7-18 : the rest of the non playoff teams in reverse order of record. Picks 19-32 : The playoff teams in reverse order of record. OrthoPTSD 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
octoslash 18,049 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Yep...throw out the sorry coaching staff, weak trenches, barely a running game, lousy pass defense, inability to compete with winning teams, and blowing big leads against inferior opponents...the Falcons are indeed an elite team.

Osiruz 10,079 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I love chuckie, wish we had hired him instead of the raiders. I wouldn't be against us hiring Jay Gruden to coach for the falcons. PokerSteve and Vandy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jon Gruden usually spoke highly of Matt Ryan and the Falcons on the MNF booth. Even if he thinks that, I doubt he'd ever say it. Raheem Morris is a part of Gruden's tree. It was Jon Gruden who gave Morris his first NFL coaching job when they were in TB. So I just can't really see Gruden throwing a coach who was once one of his guys under the bus for being a bad coach.
