Refs really are just awful regardless of who you root for this year
I’ll take it, but where was the penalty?
Seeing the D line finally play good ball breaks my heart for what might have been with Grady in there.
Jonnu always slips and it pisses me off lol
I thought foye was the leading tackler again
This team could have Micah Parsons and Jalen Carter but nah we gotta draft decoys for Jonnu and a running back you already knew was good lmao
Again, they have NFL fans soo used to shady calls that its the norm. There was zero unnecessary roughness on the Colts on that play. I don’t care if its the Falcons or not.
Jonnu is the most likely to have a 50 yard td and the most likely to slip on a banana peel
I think they need to let us hear what the refs are saying when they discuss stuff like they did with the xfl. It might help solve some of the issues
Was their guy supposed to just keep letting him run or smth?
A QB that can hit Bijan on outlet passes???????
Guys it is crazy how much better we loon with heinicke on the field
It’s been nice not feeling a sense of dread with every drop back. Not expecting a pick or fumble with Heineke.
HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO THROW IT TO THE LEFT FLAT
The Atlanta FalseStarts
STOP THROWING TO JONNU SMITH
Checkdown masterclass
alright arthur is gonna bench bijan now
I just like Heinicke better overall. He seems more humble…
Heinicke runs 100mph lol
If EJ Speed could stop being all over the field, that would be great
Moving a little to fast
These commentators sucking on the teat of the Colts
Who hurts this team more? Arthur Smith or False Starts
Man, you can see the real potential for this offense.. We just need proper play calling and an above average QB and this offense is gonna do numbers
That was a great play by Speed. NGL
I wanted Matt Ryan gone starting around the 2017 season. I want him BACK now. We got midgets and all kinds of stuff trying to play quarterback.
The funny thing is, I’m sure Heinicke is fine just coasting out the rest of his career as a backup, but when homie is on the field, he plays like he gives a shit
Idk what AS is pissed about, but im pissed about it too
Lol broke the net
didn’t arthur smith shave his mustache when they benched Ridder last time as well?
So far this game is showing me that smith can be a damn good coach if he has a QB that can complete the basics. This play calling is the same ridder gets
Close to roughing foot looked like could’ve been on the line
Well that was a bummer
Art got me fired up just watching him get fired up. Gonna punch my tv now
smiths complaining to the refs is better than his playcalling half the time
Heinike is panicking in the pocket
Fuck. Was nobody open???
Just tuned in and the Falcons look much better with Heineken. Hope they can keep it going through the second half.
Taylor living a little dangerously right now
I think the Heineke hype train has already died
