zzfrow Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Too many injuries on Defense. oSI7ENT and arrogantBEAST 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Yeah the practice squad struggled against one of the best passing offenses in football. arrogantBEAST, gambysquared and Falcanuck 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaptain Krazy Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 21 more plays, too. The drive chart shows both teams had 9 drives, but Cincy ran more plays and nearly doubled Atlanta on ypp. arrogantBEAST 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge_birds_fan Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Dude, I don't think the injuries really mattered. I think they woulda steamrolled this defense regardless. oSI7ENT and fuego 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampyMux12 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 At one point at the end of the first half, Burrow was 21/23 for 360 yards and 3 tds. That's unacceptable no matter who you are playing. Slow start by the offense didn't help those numbers either. I think he had 250 yards and 2 tds by 14:55 in the 2nd quarter.

Slow start didnt help but at the end of the day both sides didn’t do they jobs. I’m not with the brigade of blaming one player for this loss. Falcons got beat as a team today.

Sun Tzu 7 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 It was a bad matchup but I thought the Falcons would have done a better job running the football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjqvi Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 The NFL talent is close in general but when Atlanta is rolling practice squad level guys out there versus that level of offense the difference is going to show. There are times it looked like a top tier college team vs some small trash school in that secondary. We aren't facing that offensive fire power the next few weeks so I expect this team will get back to their identity. Regardless, none of those secondary guys deserve a check this week.

Defense had no chance today. We needed the offense to run the ball and condense the game, it was really our only path to victory. We did hang in there but offense was MIA for the entire 2nd half.

I like Mariota a lot but this game really exposes the need for a QB that isn't scared to throw the ball. There are times he played so safe back there (one time I counted 5 seconds) that it led to sacks or nothing type gains. He either needs to let it rip and let his guys have a chance or get Ridder in there who doesn't look scared to pass based on preseason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariota goes into a panic if his first read is covered. He runs himself into sacks, but sometimes he breaks free and makes a nice run. He just doesn't seem to have a great pocket presence.

He is still knocking the rust off and learning the new system again for the 2nd time. I’m sure after 12 years in the league it’ll all click just you wait and see!

GrimeyKidd Posted October 23, 2022 Author Share Posted October 23, 2022 More concerned with the defense giving up chunk yards so easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Don™ Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Played better in second half. Problem is, they dug themselves a hole in the first one and offense isn't built to come back from a big deficit. Simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjqvi Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 It was a total team failure today. Our offense never could get their strength going when these corners are out there allowing 21 points basically in the first quarter. We were taken out of our game and ended up playing theirs.

OrthoPTSD Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I like AJ, and would hope he can be a pillar for this team but have zero confidence in him being able to stay healthy and be counted on at this point. Not when handing out top dollar CB contracts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconBlood23 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 We are sorely lacking any talent on D. A few nice pieces on there ain’t enough. We need to really hit on picks and FA, we got a poverty defense this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
