Teams Atlanta Falcons - The Dirty Birds

[quotemokc]

It's weird how clumped together the home/away games are.

Mainly home at the start and mainly away at the end.

The information this guy gives is good but he takes too long to get to the point and I don't like looking at a still image for 30 seconds only for it to edge forward slightly and pause again.

Whilst this is shorter it is much easier to watch.

With six touchdowns, Calvin Ridley is finding the end zone at a record pace

Falcons rookie wide receiver Calvin Ridley isn’t just leading the league in touchdown catches. He’s scoring touchdowns at a historic pace.

Ridley has six touchdown catches through four games this season, which puts him on a pace to finish the season with 24 touchdown catches. The NFL record is 23, set by Randy Moss with the 2007 Patriots.

Even if it’s not realistic to think Ridley will stay on this pace for 16 games and break Moss’s record, he has a good chance at another Moss record: In 1998 Moss set the NFL record for touchdown catches in a rookie, with 17. Ridley can break Moss’s record with 12 touchdown catches in the Falcons’ 12 remaining games.

Ridley is benefiting from the fact that Julio Jones is drawing coverage away while not vulturing touchdowns. With Jones on pace to break the NFL’s yardage record and Ridley on pace to break the touchdown record, Matt Ryan has a couple of great targets.

NFL.com's Tom Pelissero reports the Falcons could fire both OC Steve Sarkisian and DC Marquand Manuel.

Owner Arthur Blank is apparently convinced coach Dan Quinn is not the problem. Pelissero mentions ex-Quinn Seattle coaching mate Darrell Bevell as a possibility to replace Sark. That would be perhaps the least-inspiring hire the Falcons could make. Sark's offense has run extremely hot and cold this season, going through an unstoppable stretch in the red zone before much lower-wattage affairs over the past two months. Manuel has not had a prayer because of a wave of defensive injuries.

Bringing in Bevell would make things worse

 

[DEVO]

Are we really as crap as last weekend's scoreline suggests??
Surely with the quality of players on our roster we will finish ahead of Carolina and Tampa.

 

[quotemokc]

I just want a defence

Dirty Bird Is it time to join the fire Quinn train?

Dirty Bird Is it time to join the fire Quinn train?

Pffff. Give him a chance you impatient bastard

 

[Dirty Bird]

Dirty Bird Is it time to join the fire Quinn train?

Nah
Only when Dallas' offence is running on all cylinders

Kellen Moore 4 Head Coach

 

[DEVO]

Another heartbreaker. Surely someone is fired this week.

 

[quotemokc]

Quinn is a dead man walking.

 

[Bulldog Brent]

Absolutely.

Hard to believe we were 28-3 up in a SB and now in an abyss. Ryan’s window is closing slowly and we need to get our sh*t together.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports the Falcons won't fire Dan Quinn during their Week 9 bye.
Quinn would have been already fired if the Falcons wanted to make a change. He'll survive another week despite owner Arthur Blank saying he'll evaluate the team during the bye. Quinn reportedly has "a lot of support within the organization," but remains on the hot seat. Even if Quinn lasts the rest of the year, he's not going to be back in 2020.

I am fine with Quinn and TD sticking around for 2020, I would not allow them to make any huge moves in the off season so that if 2020 becomes another disaster then the new HC won't be hamstrung.

I don't think anyone is happy with Koetter but Shanny and Sark were much better in year 2 even though Koetter shouldn't have needed a mulligan year.

Falcons selected Clemson CB A.J. Terrell with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
There had reports the Falcons might trade up for a corner, but they got their man in their original spot. A five-star recruit and two-year starting outside corner for the Tigers, Terrell (6’1/195) earned first-team All-ACC honors as a true junior in 2019. He primarily played press-man coverage on the boundary but was afforded reps both in zone coverage and from the slot in his last two seasons. Most observers will cite Terrell's poor performance against LSU wideout and 2021 NFL prospect Ja'Marr Chase (9/221/2) in the National Championship game as an unforgivable blemish, but Terrell's overall body of work includes six interceptions and 20 pass breakups across 30 starts. His toughness also isn't in doubt, as he didn't miss a single start in three years. Terrell is probably more of a project than his draft position might indicate, but he should be in the line for Week 1.

Didn't watch live, watched us get 20 points up without knowing the final score.

Checked the final score, not even surprised.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Such a weird and pathetically lead team who is happy to underachieve every year. Ownership the issue. Quinn should have been out on his arse last year. For a defensive coach he sure does give up a lot of 30+ point games.

 

[GG.exe]

we suck

 

[LennyHayes77]

Why didn't any Falcons players jump on the onside kick???

 

[Bulldog Brent]

Wow. Just wow.

Surely Dan Q gets the sack overnight.

ive never seen anything like our last two games, blowing unassailable leads.

It's never happened before, that's why.

First team in history to blow two 15 point fourth quarter leads B2B or even in a single season.

There are chokers , then there are the Atlanta Falcons.
