Hard Knocks & Hard Liquor LIVE from Flowery Branch: The OFFICIAL 2014 Atlanta Falcons Season Thread
I wouldn't have a problem with it if he is the best available player. It's not the top picks that should be the concern. It what you do in FA and those mid-round picks.

From a player prospective, we literally have not one player we can count on for a whole game at this point. That's crazy in the NFL when you think about it.
Implode this FO and coaching staff. They shouldn't be able to ride this out given what took place last season after being 10 yards away from a superbowl bid in 2012.

our front office is like a confused woman
Falcons: *wears ugly ass weave and fake jewelery*
NFL pundits: Oooh, Falcons ya hair look good girl
Falcons: *buys more old jewelry and hairhats*
In this scenario the hair hat and jewelry are overrated players and over the hill FAs. The woman on the left is the rest of the NFL exposing our shortcomings. We're caught up with doing OK the previous year and not trying to rectify our issues.
It's tough. Our FO hasn't shown the propensity to do the latter

Mike Smith and TD must go at the end of this season, period. Even if they miraculously somehow turn it around and get into the playoffs. The NFC South is that weak. So, it's possible.
For all of the noise that we read about the Julio Jones trade and how they gave away so many picks, causing depth issues, no one takes him to task the other horrible draft picks that Dimitroff actually made. So, it's not like IF he kept those picks, that they would've amounted to anything anyway. The best 3 picks that he made were Julio, Ryan, and Trufant...in how many years??? Moore seems to be hurt each year, and so it also seems with Witherspoon. That's a horrible draft record for a GM.
Smith is a nice guy, but he's done all that he can do, and it appears that this is where it ends. The players aren't responding to him.
I'm guessing that Arthur Blank will go after Jon Gruden as head coach, and Rex Ryan as the defensive coordinator to get the team back on track. Gruden will maximize the next 2-3 years of Ryan, Julio, Roddy, Hester, and Douglass, plus Freeman/Rodgers. Matthews will have a full year under his belt. Combined with Blalock and Asomoah, and you have the most solid OL in the recent team's history. A couple more pieces will help. Baker gotta go.
Ryan isn't the best head coach, but he's a great DC and his players respond to him. No dogs on his defense. He doesn't tolerate it. Biermann and Osi gotta go. Ryan would rebuild this, starting with Leonard Williams of USC.
Blank appears to be done with Smith and TD, at this point.

Man i want All coaches gone I want dimitroff gone I want players like same baker, spoon , blaylock etc etc gone. I want an actual good back up to be signed to put that pressure on Ryan. Roddy sadly ( hes the best falcon imo of this regime) but i feel we need to start getting younger. We just need a complete player evaluation. Seahawks did something like this it took some years but you all see what culminated in

Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
I don't think Ryan or Gruden come coach here TBH...I think you need a coach with a lot of innovative ideas, some daring & who can schematically win you a few games. Smitty is a good guy & has tried hard, but anytime a coach has run out of ideas like Smitty has it's not a good look. IDK what new ideas Gruden or Rex would bring...I'd rather get a Kevin Sumlin type coach with a fresh approach to come here.

I wouldnt trust them nikkas to run a quik trip right now
They confused winning a few games with actually being a powerhouse team built for the long run. We caught a few teams slipping, had a few balls bounce our way and thought we were the Patriots. Our fakkit gm and soft ass coach gotta go.
I wouldn't let them near my kids PTA for anything
