Someone's head has to roll for the collapse, Shanahan is already gone and they aren't firing Quinn and Ryan ain't going anywhere.  DC seems like the next most obvious casualty.

 

I bet the Flacons draft lots of defenders this year, too.  They need pass rushers and secondary, build a defense built to play from ahead like the Colts used to do.

I think even with a victory the DC was on shaky ground.  I thought I had read Quinn took over the play calling a month or so ago.

 

It is amazing how much 20 minutes of bad football can change things.

 

Had the Falcons won the game and they absolutely should have, people would have been singing their praises the whole off season.  They collapsed and they are getting killed by the media and their fans and coaches are being shown the door.

Amazing turnaround.

It's kind of like having a really great skydiving experience until the chute didn't open.

I am sure that is exactly how the Falcon's fans felt.

Remember when people were asking if the Ravens could justify firing MM if we made the playoffs?

The Falcons say yes you can.

It's amazing to replay that game in your head.

What a colossal botch

Just needed to call runs at the end of the game and they probably win.

The new rules and the way passing has changed the game gets in the head of coaches way too often. It really screws up how they think.

So Matt Schaub just got a 2 year, $9 million dollar contract. I don't know how much was guaranteed but I couldn't believe Matt Schaub just got a 2 year, $9 million dollar contract.

Read that the digital screens change, and will be a generic stand on Sunday's.  Open for the lone Thursday game, and I guess when they have college games.
