WTF is wrong with Atlanta?

[Steelboy84]

 

[BloodType49]

Are they the epitome of a soft team ??

 

[tabascojet]

4 or 5 starters out on D.....

 

[ckhokie]

They're playing an AFC team?

 

[Steelboy84]

Their coach didnt take the points, why?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Chiefs trade for Tony G.. All is well in the universe. But in all seriousness, wtf is up with the Falcons?

 

[bksballer89]

Their defense suck and so does their offensive line.

 

[bravesfan]

No defense

 

[Steelboy84]

Better to go into the half 17-10 instead of 17-7.

Hey we are Atlanta, why are you thinking something like this is unnatural. I've become numb to let downs of this nature

They were never that good of a team to begin with. Their D was pretty mediocre even last year, and they have a worse running game, a QB that has been above average his entire career but never bordered elite territory, an old TE with another year on him despite his playing, and I'll give them two great receivers.

The only position they are 'elite' at is wide receiver and possibly TE. Everything else is average spare QB (I'll give them above average).

Very mediocre team. An elite WR group and an above average QB will not win you a lot of games... and Denver has had a cake schedule.. not sold on the Broncos either.

Ryan was borderline elite last year

Ryan was borderline elite last year

They had a soft schedule like the Donkeys this year.

 

[Steelboy84]

A fg before the half could have won the game

 

[dirtboy068]

And the Braves eliminated tonight as well. Well the Hawks going to be any good this year?

 

[night]

Too many injuries and we are the opposite of a deep lineup.

 

[jayfan]

Their coach stinks. He's the Dusty Baker of the NFL. At least Dusty made the World Series, though.

Theoretically yes, but it would not have mattered(assuming no added momentum-same game being played). If it was 17-10 then the falcons would not have went for it 4th down late in the fourth quarter those 2 times, they would have kicked the field goal to tie the game... so instead of losing 28-30 they would have lost 27-30... although they might have had time at the end to score again...

Didn't matter. If they kick the FG before half then on the drive at the end of the game they kick the FG to tie the game on 4th and 3 instead of going for it. Score is 27-27, Jets still get the ball with even more time on the clock. Same outcome.
