  1. Gameplan was weak af and embarrassingly limited. The fact that our staff thought 0 passes from under center and no play action passes would be able to beat any NFL team is an absolute joke.

    Kirk clearly is either physically or mentally unable to drive a throw off his back foot or even take a 3 step drop. It’s entirely sabotaging the season if what we saw on Sunday with 100% of passes coming out of the pistol with 0 runs out of that formation is all we’re going to do.

    Don’t even get me started on no plan whatsoever for helping McGary with TJ Watt (and no I’m not counting having Pitts in to sneeze on Watt as help)

    The rest of the league can see these horrid limitations with Kirk and unless they sit him until he’s healthy enough to pass from under center and use play action this season is already over.

    If only we had a top 8 drafted QB waiting in the wings to play in the mean time until our vet QB coming off a major injury was ready to run a competent offense…… oh wait

  2. Don’t be afraid to tell the truth fellas. I honestly can’t blame kirk when you have a OC that calls vanilla plays every drives. No play action predictable run plays. Terrible gameplay offensively. Raheem is also the blame. No plan for tj watt, and for the flags and fumbles. Just all around bad

  3. I'm sorry 8 of 17 on third down it's not that big of a deal as to why this game was lost. We all know why. Zach Robinson horrible play calling. Add rust primarily from the quarterback. And lack of in game reps to start week one.

  4. I just hope and pray that the Atlanta falcons can get their mistakes done because when they go into Philly that's what they usually say it's a Philly thing it's going to be very rough for the dirty birds Atlanta falcons rise up I really hope that my team can get it together because it's not going to be an easy one but we have to fight fight fight fight and when it's all said and done fight again

  5. One of the main reasons why our receivers that are still here from Arthur Smith have a problem with getting separation is because we ran the football so much that they were blocking more than they were creating separation. There were times last year when we would be on 3rd and 17 and we would run the football.

  6. So we just going to let Zach Robinson off the hook in this podcast. We're not going to mention that he had Kirk Cousins in pistol and shotgun the entire game and didn't do play action not one time. And the formations dictated whether they were going to run and pass to the point the defense of Pittsburgh just keyed in on their formations cuz it was so predictable. And when coaches talk about putting their players in the best positions to win. This was not that. Because Kirk Cousins strength is play action. But we going to glaze right over that….. okay.

  7. I said that to say I love this team! It’s not over at all! However it starts now. Yeah it’s game one but urgency is needed don’t become predictable we will rise up!ATLANTA SHOW THEM WHO WE ARE!

  8. The Falcons can’t evolve they are cursed they will probably get beat by the Philadelphia Measles by 2 TD’s or we blow a chance late and lose in heartbreaking fashion.

  9. The offence didn’t perform well. Raheem’s game plan was inadequate. I’m more worried about the ability of our coaches to put together a winning game plan

  10. Honestly, it's dumb to not have your starters get any reps in preseason when they haven't had any game contact since the last season ended and you have multiple new pieces that are playing major roles for the team on top of two of your key players coming back from major injury. Let's not include the fact that we have a new offensive coordinator who's calling plays for the first time in his career and a quarterback who hasn't played with any of the receivers that he has, so it doesn't make sense to not play them a little in the preseason. Secondly, if the quarterback can't get under center to run plays, he probably shouldn't be playing. On top of that the offense was just too predictable. 22 plays out of shotgun and they were all passes. And if you're going to primarily have KT in the slot or off of the line then it's probably time to stop calling him a tight end because we're not using him as a tight end. Therefore, he's not getting the mismatches that come with his athleticism at the tight end position

  11. The Falcons are not going to evolve with undisciplined players at this point and then players who can not perform at nfl l evels like Pitts, Robinson, and Gary and the lost hoes on. They need to cut or trade about 10 players gary, Robinson, Pitts, Cousins, penix, grant, center for, 2 of the was and all tes need to go then you need to replace about half the coaching staff including Raheem conman morris and then after a year of rebuild which is what we're doing now rebuild you might have a chance to get over .500. Please stop the nonsense the defense looks great, no they do not they just played vanilla against Arthur smith who cannot score in the Redbone ever period no thanks to our defense. So please stop. This is a rebuilding season no playoffs. No superbowl period this year.
