Hard Knocks & Hard Liquor LIVE from Flowery Branch: The OFFICIAL 2014 Atlanta Falcons Season Thread

[Konnan]

Whole team from office to field is a clusterfukk

 

[jmspro]

Since we beat the Seahawks in the playoffs in '12 we are 6-17.

I'd blame the OC and the Oline first then everyone else after. nikkas dropped a total of what 10 passes? Unacceptable then you got the man who's making the most big plays on the season on the bench for the majority of the game smh. Let's run the ball with 4 different RBs (Who are average to below average), yeah that'll get em

Don't get me wrong, breh this whole team is incompetent. Honestly though, I'm tired of the Passes Matt Ryan gets. The guy has not always had bad lines. Yet only a couple years we got washed by the Bears in Chicago, offense didn't do crap, in the Giants playoff game the offense didn't do crap, the 2nd half of the Seahawk playoff game the offense didn't do crap, the 2nd half of the San Fran play off game the offense didn't do crap, when ever for some reason they play the Cardinals Matt Ryan decides he wants to have an interception day and that's just recently . The guy has had weapons his whole career, there are Qb's in this league that don't have the perfect o-lines yet they are making it happen, yet when it comes to Matt Ryan and most Falcon fans everyone else is to blame except him. The guy is getting paid elite super bowl winning qb money.

It's looking like the SB window has slammed shut on this team and being <10 yards away against SF was the peak

There's nothing we can do about Ryan. He's pretty guaranteed to be a Falcon his whole career whether we like it or not

Can anyone tell me why Antone Smith gets no touches after scoring every game? I'm still confused on that. I've heard before, keep his touches limited before teams start to figure him out.. That would be nice and all if our offense didn't have trouble scoring. The dude is a special player, who's talent is being wasted on the sidelines. They scared to limit Mr. Waste of Play "Jackson's" carries? Give him Freeman's carries at least, shyt makes NO fukking sense. Dirk Koetter is a fukking idiot.. The playcalling at the ending was pathetic as well. I love my Falcons but goddamn this shyt is starting to get old. Same weak minded ass team coming out the tunnel week by week.

And is there no TE's on the market anywhere? Toilolo is SO BAD!

Don't even wreck your brain trying to figure this shyt out breh. My brother told me this once, but I brushed it off because it's so simplistic. He said one difference between alot of these coaches is plain ole' common sense. Work something until the other team stops it, and then use it to set up other things. Everybody don't have common sense breh. It took me a long time, and many frustrating encounters to learn that. It's like they can't accept the fact that the game can be that simple sometimes. Smith don't look at Antoine the way we do. He is a special teamer who scores on offense sometimes. But On another team, he would be like Sproles or Harvin. A weapon that'll have your ass stressed during the week.

You ever watched a game, and the coach might call a play that gets 7 yards a pop during the first 3 quarters, and then inexplicably stop calling that play in the 4th quarter of a tight game? Or don't give a player, who is clearly a playmaker, the ball ever again after they bust of ANOTHER big touchdown? Or repeatedly dialing up a blitz that nets the other team 20 yards everytime. Or playing 15 yards off of the receiver on a 3rd and 5? All the great coaches exploit what works against you until you're sick, have a command of the X's and O's, and have common sense.

Did you see how Smith was looking at the end of the game? Straight confused. He doesn't get it. He has no fukkin clue as to why we are losing. Therefore, he has no fukkin clue on how to turn it around.

Yep. Some people don't want it to be simple or just can't accept how simple something is. Their ego want let them.

The cold part about it is that at the time, I wouldn't have believed that was our peak. After that game, I swore we was gonna bounce back and go to the Super Bowl in no time. All we had to do was fix our second half woes. Just goes to show, you better capitalize on your opportunities. Might not ever get back.

Chiraq Boyz A-Town stomp those bytchass falc*nts.

@AVXL How does it feel?

 

[Xerces]

There's nothing we can do about Ryan. He's pretty guaranteed to be a Falcon his whole career whether we like it or not

And I get that; at the same time fans imo need lay off the defense cause they have been neglected for this " greatest show on turf pt 2"

breh, this was beautiful

What I've been saying since Day fukkin 1...we got all these damn skill players RBs/Wrs/CBs...would put LBs here, but let's be serious...and the D-line continues to not be addressed. Nuccas still ain't figured out what an elite pass rush does to a team. Shyt's simple...

 

[Motife43]

Yeah, this is how I feel. He does good things, he has weapons, he's talented. We can probably count less than 10 instances where he's lost games because of his poor play. Over a fourth of the league has gone thru QB turmoil since we've had Matt Ryan. It's not always easy to get a franchise QB and we got one a year after we lost Vick.

And I get that; at the same time fans imo need lay off the defense cause they have been neglected for this " greatest show on turf pt 2"

I heard more comparisons to Peyton's Colts. Forgetting the Colts had a solid secondary, good LBs, and hellish pass rushers in Mathis and Freeney. I'm ready for this season to continue, so this franchise can make changes. Can't go into the new stadium with the same ole bullshyt

 

[Stone]

Peria Jerry, Sean Weatherspoin and Sam Baker all turning out to be busts have sort of killed this team. We've been scrambling around trying to figure things out when if comes to those spots for years now.
