Falcons should fire their OC immediately

Nobody ever expected the double crosser

Touche’.  But Ryan has produced a lot of passing offense consistently since the SB - >4000 yds passing, with enough passing yards and a good enough TD/INT ratio to win games if there’s a defense and a bit of a rush game.  2018 was a good year for him.  35 TD, 7 INT, >300 ypg

 

It’s just not true that he’s never been good since that SB

Geez, the receivers are having to fight and scrap just to get back to the LOS

 

Maybe I'm too hard on him but it's mostly because that Super Bowl was my version of hell!

 A tight end isn’t worth the forth pick in the draft especially when your qb is 35 and been crappy for 3 years despite having Julio Jones and Steven Ridley to throw to 

 

I agree and it's Calvin Ridley. But that doesn't mean he's the "product of ESPN." 

[78thealltimegreat]

The Falcons brass was rumored to want to take Micah Parsons but Matt Ryan fell in love with Kyle Pitts and urged them to take him … ultimately  Ryan won over the Falcons scouts…I’m guessing the Cowboys are happy that he did 

[Kenosha2Buffalo]

That was a nice throw to Henry 

[Big Blitz]

Lol this game is so awful

[Casey D]

Pick!

[Warcodered]

Sucks that the Patriots are winning, but like any time I watch them I just do not feel worried about that offense.

[HappyDays]

Mac throws a nice floater. I say that with zero sarcasm. The problem is what happens when a DB thinks to step in front of it.

Lol... Mac Jones is throwing for 90 perc... and its picked off.

Jones first throw over 20 is a pick. 

[SirAndrew]

I’ve only heard about the greatness of Jones. Pats have a good D, but not at all impressed by Mactain Checkdown. 

[The Frankish Reich]

Interception! You know what, I changed my mind. I said Leslie Frazier won't let Mac Jones have all those dinks and dunks. I was wrong. I think he will! We have the playmakers on defense to eventually capitalize on a tip or bad pass, and our offense isn't going to be utterly incompetent like the Falcons. This IS the way to beat the Pats.

[CincyBillsFan]

Pats got greedy.  Should have kept throwing those flat passes. Given how well the Patriots are running the ball it does make you wonder why the downfield play action pass isn't there.

This is what I'm seeing too, I wonder if Chad Pennington is what Jones could/would be, though maybe Jones has too good of an arm for that comparison.

On the lob completion to Henry on the play before, I thought he's going to put a lot of balls at risk against the Bills throwing like that. And the very next throw gets picked.

NOODLE ARM

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

Finally! Just need a TD to get back on track. Nice read by the DB. Let's do this, ATL!

[HappyDays]

Couldn't imagine being a Falcons fan. They have exactly 2 young players to be excited about in Pitts and Terrell. No identity. They've won too many games to earn a particularly high draft pick. Reminds me of some Bills drought years.

[Hapless Bills Fan]

LOL Aikman on his script goes over the top praising Jones for a solid 17 yd pass over the middle leading his TE against trailing coverage, then Jones gets picked on the very next play.

The double crosser is actually a Daboll special and has been effective for us when executed correctly.  

That execution was Not That Thing
