Lfg!! Falcons win by F.G 31 -28
I wonder if the Falcons are going to show up with a game plan and actually play.
I predict a rookie QB looks like a superstar.
I love it when everyone picks the Pats, means we're winning this one
Hopefully we can get to .500. Then we can enjoy the prospect of getting above .500 before embarrassing ourselves again.
Apparently last week Mac Jones didn't throw one pass over 15 yds down field.
Joe Buck must hate having to social distance. It makes it **** near impossible for him to constantly kiss Aikman’s ***.
The Super Bowl loss narrative needs to be nuked. I'm sick of hearing it.
It's impossible to not watch my Falcons, but bruh... I'm legit internally debating whether to even watch this one. Sheesh.
Let's see if we do our patented first drive looking all-world and ending in a FG.
Of course I'm an Atlanta Falcon fan. So of course I want Atlanta to win this game. But before the draft I told everybody that Mac Jones was the best quarterback in the draft. And I got killed but I wanted us to draft Mac Jones. So I'm just going to sit back and watch the game
Jacoby Myers? **** they got a law firm on the field.
Come on Falcons, let's spoil this Patriot pep rally.
Oh goody, the defense is on the field first...
Amazing David Andrews is still out there getting it done. And all the Falcons had to do was make a call up the road… smh.
Can we get Harris out of the **** game?
Refs screwing us early
HARRIS SUCKS OMG
Harris is a freaking tool
I like that 3rd down look from Pees. Got ZERO pressure on the blitz though. Talk about unbothered. Kid didn’t even move.
LOL just tackles dud mid air.
We have the absolute ugliest artificial turf.
Harris should be giving these guys water
Run D looks good so far.....lets see how long that lasts
Our d backs only know how to wrap up before the ball gets there……never afterwards
BB not gonna go for it? Honestly, he should.
I'm kinda shocked that their punting to be honest.
Hey, we got one stop tonight!
Is it possible to go on a 95 yards, 56 minute scoring drive?
bad play call for them why run there when our secondary sucks booty cheeks
I think we should surprise the **** out of them and set Matty Wheels loose in the RPO
Matt Ryan's probably trying to remember his life insurance policy so his family will be taken care of when his offensive line gets him killed
So this game the defense shows up, but offense can't drag their weight? Price be wrong boys!
Are they piping in crowd noise?
JFC.....Davis has NO vision
Even some of our worst teams in the 80s could run the ball. Its maddening.
I wouldn't waste the space in my beautiful trash can to throw Davis in it.
Great opening drive boys
i swear we always get the worse FP on offense cuz the other teams punter becomes HOFers against us
Gotta admit that was nice coverage on 3rd down
Once again two things can be true, severe lack of player talent, and coaching talent, starting with the muppet smith
This team is painful
Maybe if we could stop the penalties Smith wouldn't look so shell-shocked
We must really tip off our play selection by formation because right on que, the Pat's brought their safties down on each run there.
Terrell is literally the only player on this defense that can make 1-on-1 or open field tackles.
Why is our flat open for every team we play?
Who the heck lost outside contain on that run?
Dude that “pass rush” is gross wtaf
That's right, give those WR's 10 yards of open space to catch the ball. That'll learn'em!
LOL just tossed Harmon like he wasn't even there.
I feel another embarrassment coming.
Falcons may legit get shut out this game.
Yet again we start in a hole
It's one thing to be talentless but to also be stupid as **** is another level.
Lmfaooo we’re allergic to decent field position. Every little thing we do wrong
Nice throw by Matt. Right over his head!
Everyone in the stadium knew that was a run. And loss of 4 as a result
The funniest thing I've read on the board all week was the site saying the Falcons had league average run-blocking.That's like saying turtles have average speed for animals.
Gage cant beat a guy one on one for ****
That play right there is why gage is a 4th wr at best
once again someone in ryan’s face
Love having receivers that when given complete open space can gain 1 yard max
This offense is like every yard is a mile
Just brutal to watch
Hard to watch this team sometimes. OL is atrocious
Our offense is just as bad as the defense... That's scary....
Falcons gonna get shut out LMAO
We couldn't be worse than the run game if we tried... Oh we were trying?
At least the uniforms look good
Does Davis even have vision? While our OLine sucks, there are opportunities here and there and CP, Gallman and now Ollie can have their plays but Davis always gets nothing
Now Matt's hurt
Horrible call after a horrible spot.
Ryan hurt we done for sure smfh
You need just half a yard. Where is he **** is everyone going?
he's hurt ****
Lmao there are no words to how ****ing dumb this team can be. I feel like the roster and coaches are irrelevant...whoever is there its going to be the same clown shoe stuff.
Hey coach dumb***, you have a challenge flag you know...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sounds like a Patriot home game
The absolute worst RZ team ever.
Heck yea hopefully we get some Felipe now
The refs are really playing well tonight
Matt Ryan and taking stupid sacks. One of the few guarantees in life.
More blood on his pants. Now watch Koo miss. Yea
Illegal formation on a fg...don't see that often. These refs fly in from New England?
These players suck, but the coaching ain’t acquitting itself much better.
Ice just threw in the towel. Good luck ladies.
Man WTH is wrong with this damm team
This team has no pride, or discipline. WE have a yellow streak down our backs. SMH
**** this team
Everything going Pats way including the calls now smdh.
F*** these motherf****** refs
Bad ending. Tons more blood on Matt. Lord, this team.
These are worse than the Katrina Refs - is this supposed to be a special day for the Patriots?
Just a dysfunctional team.
This team is just falling apart. Even Koo missing now.
They're gonna get Matt killed
This whole team and coaching staff should be fired I don't even care this is atrocious on every level
Just release 45 players and forfeit the season
This has been zero fun so far.
This is like a bad Jim Mora team right now. Undisciplined in every way.
The Falcons are the joke of the league just too too often! They look to be tanking early this year
God....******...Dammit........
season is over. dunno why yall care bout this trash team. it's still mostly dan quinn's terrible team
Falcons eternally gonna Falcon...
Thursday Night Football possesses all the beauty of pig slop.
Smith is impressing me less with each game. Misses an obvious challenge on the spot, then calls a pass play on 3rd and 3 inches.
Matt Ryan gets sacked out of chip shot field-goal range against the the patriots? Never saw that before.
You can't make this **** up
why not just run there if you dont get it its 4&1 again why throw there with these ****ty WRs WHY
Please make changes on the line. There is no way out backups could block any worse. Watching the blocking is just sickening.
Our defense seems to get burned by the simplest freaking plays. Boys among men.
Surprised the refs didn't throw a flag for something there
O-line just getting dominated.
I wanna bag on the play calling but how many choices do you have when your OL is top to bottom chock full of kindergarten girls?!?!?
Every single ******* drop back
2 defenders in Matt’s face. One right after receiving the shotgun snap. We can’t run on the perimeter at all. So dumb we ended last drive trying to get cute. Kaleb absolutely destroyed by his guy one play later.
We might have the worst offensive line in football. Just absurd.
Where do you get those pass rushers? Can we get one of those.
McGary is getting eaten alive
Dude c'mon. I know our O-line ain't this bad. I refuse to believe
I legit think the OL hates Matt, they are doing absolutely NOTHING!!!
Ryan might finally lose his **** on these guys
This is amateur hour us against belicheck
We have no offensive line, the Pat's are going to end our season tonight
We gots mad punting skills
Some of y’all might get your wish. Matt Ryan may just retire after this **** show is over
Bellicheck is so f'in good at defense.
Ryan might as well take a life-preserving leave of absence or the rest of the year. He ain't gonna make it to next year like this.
Be honest, how many shots are you in already
I wonder how many of our O line will get elite grades on PFF this week? SMFH
The good news: We deferred until the second half, so it's unlikely we'll be down by more than three scores before we get the ball again.
We will soon get banned from primetime games. People have to turn this trash off.
Ryan could quit football tomorrow, and I wouldn’t blame him. Nobody could survive behind this line.
Do we allow the highest completion % in the league? Legit curious
I have really built up a very high tolerance to pain watching these guys over the years.
That's it, everybody just clean out your lockers and go home ain't no more football
Easy for Mac Jones to be 11 of 12 if his receivers are running wide open as possible.
Gotta look at the positives. Haven't seen Moreau or Williams get completely toasted tonight yet.
Stupid thing is we're still "In this game" from.a score standpoint but this **** is over
We suck so bad in zone.
Holy **** 2 sacks in a game?!? Must have won a bettor like a million dollars there.
Ever seen the HBO prison documentary with the booty warrior? ”Jelly or Syrup”. that’s more like what’s happening to Matt tonight.
**** this team trade Ryan let him actually have a shot for a ring. It’s not a mystery why Julio wanted out. This organization is approaching Lion level of wasting HOF careers
Lol Folks kick barely sneaks in while Koo's kick curves out. It's that kind of game.
Wish Matt would just stand up and walk out at halftime. No idea how he continues to deal with that beating.
Gonna be ****** up if the score end's 28-3 tonight. We will get meme'd back to the stone age
Right now I wish it was the Red Sox that the Braves ran over in the World Series
Terry Bradshaw and entire media clowning us.Can't blame them.We brought it on us....ever since that epic meltdown we didn't beef up our trenches by big high IQ men who can protect your NFL MVP once upon a time.
28-3 is cemented as this teams identity. A literal punching bag. Anytime anyone hears the team "Falcons" they automatically think about that historic loss lmao
It’s 2.41am here in the UK. im questioning my life choices staying up to watch this.
If A S feels this best we can do tonight he oughta just put in 3rd string and start running all kinds of ridiculous stuff. I’d call a Statue of Liberty play, flea flicker and a multitude of laterals, we sneaks…..**** bring in that baby in the carriage from the advertisements! At least entertain us w a “new gimmick”.
Sighs this team isn't good for your mental or emotional well being at all..and everytime I see this team fail every time matt gets knocked on his *** and getting up limping and cussing in fusteration or everytime I see a missed tackle..no pass rush I just want to tell Thomas dimitroff to go **** himself...
I’m begging this classless losing garbage heap of a micky mouse org to give me a reason to not be embarrassed to be a fan. Stop playing the starters!!!! Give us all some plausible excuse for liking like fools
This teams body language already looks really bad.
Glad this is how you come out at half.
Well if y’all need a laugh…My wife was on a conference call (she has to work late on Thursday’s) and someone asked her to mute her mic. She said ‘sorry my husbands watching the Falcons game’ and the person responded ‘who the **** watches the Falcons?’
Atlanta Backbards staying going backwards
This may be the worst I've ever seen the Falcons.....been watching since the late 70s.
Remember when Matt Ryan set the record for consecutive 200 yard games? Now we're lucky to get 200 yards passing
Matt tries to hype up these sacks of **** and they repay him with 2 penalties.
A lot of these guys starting for the Falcons wouldn’t even be on another team’s practice squad
LMAO JUDON GAVE HIM A PAT ON THE HEAD FOR THAT RUSH, GO BACK TO THE HUDDLE KID
A monkey could call better plays.
if you have to give your OL a pep cuz they *** you know you in trouble
Another failed screen. Biggest compliment we can get is I'm surprised Matt Ryan could still be out there.
The fact that Davis still gets carries let's me know how deep our talent pool is.
How the ef did we beat the saints?
Bad pass is our greatest defender.
The pocket that Mac Jones has is just amazing
Can they just cut to another game! Maybe put on some old game that is at least a game. I bet people are tuning the crap out. This is not a dang game its a bunch of people in the dark shirts running around against a NEF team. Not a good look at all!
Send the house and can’t get within three yards of the QB.
Our defense gets off the field because of a bad pass, not because of anything they did. Garbage defense.
Sound on the field reveals Patriot players are laughing at us
I honestly believe the Pats are tempering there effort. They’ll cruise unless we score. Then they’ll put their foot on our throat (something this franchise doesn’t understand) and finish us like a dying animal
Why do we have 2 receivers tackling each other?
Lol Sharpe and Gage hit each other over the middle as Ryan is hit on the throw.
I have never seen a team looks this freaking terrible.
******* bad news bears out there
this team looks uninterested and now broken. I not sure we have the leadership to turn it around
It’s some sort of choreography to illustrate Ryan’s life behind the OL: like running full speed into a brick wall
Good gad...We have receivers running into each other on routes. This is inconceivably bad.
I'm at the game and we are severely outnumbered by pats fans. And just from the view from section 113,these plays suck to another extent. Players in the same areas, no creativity, they see what coming. And we have no time. While Mac Jones back here chillin
Our checkdowns stay covered. But we never covered checkdowns
Run. Crossers. Every. *******. Series.
These mofos gonna concuss themselves
That play was straight off Madden / Slants I run that play all the time and 2 WR are in the same spot lol
No more primetime games for 5 years please. Its embarrassing enough to be a fan of this team without the rest of the country watching.
complete clown show. If I owned a product this bad, I'd be getting hands on. Blank needs to come down and put a headset on himself.
Two players run into each other and hurt each other. Arthur smith in a nutshell. I think I'm out, going to watch an episode of Columbo or something
How the **** did this team squeeze out 4 wins?
I feel like this is the worst I’ve ever seen this team, and that’s saying something.
Comedy of errors for sure.
This is hard to watch. I'm going to bed.
Unless the play was designed to have to receivers slam into each other, somebody wasn't in the right spot. Still, you might be right. Who knows
Madden gonna have to update the Falcons playbook to 2 plays.
I guess hiring a guy based on coaching a great player probably wasn't the best idea.
here we go again man **** off stop showing the same **** lazy *** broadcast
Ahh theres some 28-3 reminders. We aren’t suffering enough.
This is an awful, poorly coached team. Embarrassing to watch. No joke
Best pressure we got all game and we couldn't cover for 2 seconds smh.
UGA could beat us easily.
This team will never move forward until everyone that was a part of that SB choke job is gone. That includes AB.
This team is trash bro. At every player and coaching position, and now I'm beginning to think, ownership position.
I really ain’t believing we’re going to get shut out
Well, I just pissed on the fire
Everyone at FOX just laughing at these scrubs.
That Dallas game broke this team for the season it looks like
Wow. Shocked they're actually going to give us the ball back
The Falcon mascot banking his head on the goal post after that FG
After tonight I stand with Calvin RIdley. this team will drive you nuts
Just trying to make it fair with 12 defenders
Oh its Rosen. AS is happy losing in a shutout
After these last 2 games, we can absolutely go the rest of the season without winning another game
Ghost of Christmas future
Rosens turn to get killed.
I rest my case. Top 5 worst Falcon teams ever.
Of course. Why not. A pick for a TD.
QB battle brewing
Somehow, that feels like the perfect capper.
Arthur Smith got that "WTH am I doing here?" look on his face
The future is bright boys!
Just kneel down and end this madness.
At least we have one more chance to end the shutout.
28-3= 25. Wow
These last two weeks have turned me from thinking DVOA was BS to thinking it’s basically law.
Again. . . This team needs an image overhaul. The stench of disaster just hangs over everything
When you run the same plays over and over you get 4 straight picks.
Arthur Smith thinking about Petrinoing this dumpster fire
Throw the towel boy in there he wants to throw a pick!! Let’s get the next opponent.
Can't wait to hear the optimism for next week.... Again, total Dog **** team. Top to bottom.
Thankfully the Patriots are willing to just let this end.
It's not even the fact that I'm used to them losing, it's the fact that I'm getting used to them getting embarrassed on national TV. They either lose in a heartbreaking choke or straight up get manhandled. Clowns!
Blown out twice in 1 week lol it’s like 70-3 between last Sunday and today
I wonder if the city of Atlanta is getting a letter after this game?
Mac Jones literally won a game in the Benz before Ryan has in the last year since he was at Bama
Did the Falcons just make history with 3 consecutive passes intercepted by 3 different QB's?
Bill Belichick enjoys screwing Matt Ryan.
Can we ******* please out Mike Davis, Mayfield, Moreau, Ragone, Gage in a ******* rocket and ******* blast them into outer space.
Imagine people getting mad at people not spending money on an awful product.
team is trash.. no one is gonna spend hard earned cash when you're literal crap.
If someone told me I had to pay whatever the Falcons are currently charging to go to a game, I would immediately call the cops and report an attempted robbery.
I took my *** to sleep last night in the 3rd and of course I wake up to all 3 qb throwing picks lmaoo this **** is so embarrassing
