Falcons postgame

McKissic is one of the most unknown really good football players in the NFL. He is an absolute stud for us. Give that man an extension.


He is the x factor. Came up huge last year too. Always in big spots. McKissic is an absolute gamer.

I think the refs saw Ryan's head kick up and called it. Was a bad call, but even a worse choice by Chase. He could have wrapped Ryan up rather than the forearm, or he could have used open palms and pushed Ryan out/down. Either way he set himself up for the penalty with the elbow placement.

100 percent he did. And if you watch again he thrusts it in that direction- also agree last year he would have made a big play there perhaps a strip sack. He is not the same. When someone like that is this far off and consistently for four games it is a code red problemo. Someone has to work with him to fix him and if that someone isn’t on the staff well than adjustments have to be made to the staff.

Sign me up for 2-2 right now with both wins NFC and both losses AFC

This is a good point TBH

I see we had 6 penalties for 85 yards. Geez that’s a bad ratio. The replay on Chase’s penalty is unreal - the league should be shamed of itself for that one.

Well I'd say at least 3 of the penalties were bad calls. The first 2 long pass interference calls and Chase's sack were bad calls. (Ironically the pass interference late in the game that they picked up flag on probably shouldn't have been picked up).

I cant believe that call man, and it was late as fuck. It was almost like the league did that on purpose

It’s ugly but it’s a win.
We take what we can get.

Whoa, when did the giants QB do South Park?

Love what TH did in this game, but ATL had 2 or 3 dropped picks that could have changed the game. I'll take the ugly win anytime though.

This is why I don't understand why they played their last possession, before we took the lead, so conservatively. Their offense was kicking our defenses ass all game and their defense wasn't really stopping us at all. Why would they neuter their offense that was dominating, to trust their defense, that was not? Coaches just love playing it safe even if the whole game says otherwise.

Yep. Smith started coaching like he didn't want to win the game.

I'll take 2-2. I'll take the W. I'll take the Heinicke excitement along the ride, that's fun to watch.

Positives: OL, McKissick, McLaurin, Carter for the KO return TD (how long had it been before this one?)

Negatives: This. Defense. Sucks. Ass.

The call on CY might be a little ticky tacky, but it is an elbow to the head and neck area, or close to it, and you know in 2021's NFL, it's gonna be a flag 90% of the time. How about going for a good ol football form tackle ? As has been said, he's not in a good mental space right now, that's a typical example of "oh imma blow him out it's gonna look good in the highlights" vs making what you're supposed to do. Then you see him running to check his guys after the play is over on TFLs he had nothing to do with while his squad has given up 30 points to a bad offense.
This is partly on the coaching staff, he's a kid, get him in the right place, he is clearly not right now.

One last thing, let's not act like we didn't get many breaks too. That flag on McTyer doesn't get picked up 98% of the time. Falcons dropped many balls, and at least 3 easy INTs, including one in the endzone...

People picking on the int's dropped, I have three thoughts:
1) we have seen lots! of cb's drop ints. As has been said, that's why they are CB's not WR's

2) nearly all of us wanted our qb's the last few years to put the ball up and give our WR's a chance. That's why 50/50 balls are called 50/50 balls.

3) On at least one of the "dropped" ints, McLaurin did the job of a receiver and broke up the int when he couldn't pull it in.

Finally, we had 0 turnovers, no fumbles, no ints. That's the stat that counts, not the almost's or shoulda coulda's
