SwampyMux12 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 6 of our 9 losses have been on final (or pretty much final) possession turnovers. Mariota threw picks vs LAR, WAS, PIT Mariota fumbled vs NOLA London fumbled vs LAC, NOLA Either we're just inexplicably cursed or we're just too stupid to close out games - those are the only 2 realistic scenarios...

When your team has a chance to win the game it shouldn't matter what the overall expectations were for the season. The moment is the moment and turning it over every time is bizarre.

JG2008 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) We hire different coaching staffs that somehow all make the same mistakes game after game…season after season expecting different results We have a consistently disappointing defense riddled with huge holes and defenders who for 80% to 90% of the game can’t cover WR’s or tackle RB’s We draft the #1 WR taken in the draft but we draft someone who can’t hold onto the ball after catching it when confronted by defenders Edited December 18, 2022 by JG2008 Wardog357 and FalconsFan36 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack talent. We have less cap space than any other team. Therefor we have less room for error. Last year we were getting blown out in losses. This year with even less talent we have been in every game other than Cinci. RING OF HONOR, me4falcons, Mid-Nite-Toker and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy You have a shot at the lottery but your odds are low when you only have 1 ticket, if you bought 1 million tickets, then your expectations are higher, think in terms of talent.

opensource001 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 There are no such things as curses. This is just a terrible franchise. You don't get to be the 4th all time losing franchise in NFL history by accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has more to do with the schedule and playing bad teams or teams at the right time regarding injuries so the games were closer than they could have been. This team is always what it was. Bad. They should have put Ridder in sooner because it was always going to be about the progress next season. Next season could be it for Arthur Smith. If they come out and **** the bed to start out and put themselves in a hole. AS might be out of a job. NCFalconfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnabus_D Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Bought a buddy of mine a nice catfish rod and reel for his birthday several years back. We met up again a couple of weeks later to go at 'em again but he was without the birthday rod and reel. I asked him why he didn't bring his new rig with him. He told me he was there last week and had cast it out, rested it against the dock railing, and it got a big hit and it was pulled into the lake. Just like today, all I could do was shake my head and laugh. Lesson was learned! Hopefully many lessons were learned on that "FTS" field today also! 😉 SwampyMux12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
