i was at a wedding so i didn't get to watch the game and in retrospect that was probably a good thing

It is a good thing, no probably. That game made me question my will to continue to watch this team until Ryan strings together a turnoverless game.

gently caress, at this point, I'd for a bobbled-snapless game. The ONLY GOOD THING to happen this week, is that Ryan finally had an emotional reaction to all of the fumbles, snaps, and interceptions. He loving exploded and slammed his helmet into the ground, and it's a sign that it at least is affecting him. So tired of huge turnovers in the redzone, followed by a cut to Ryan sitting next to Shanny and they're just noses to the playbook.

You want to see a guy flip out over stupid turnover after stupid turnover after STUPID TURNOVER. To his credit, they did perform much better after Ryan snapped... too bad it came after our defense was so banged up we couldn't stop a Bucc's OT drive where we forced MULTIPLE 3rd and longs.

this i did see cause they were lettin people get food two tables at a time and i watched it on my phone basically going "what the gently caress"

i dunno like the biggest thing to me is people saying "you can't judge on this, the team went 5-0" and it's like but... except for texans each of those games was a game where we got lucky and won rather than winning by virtue of skill

the falcons are basically a very lucky but very bad team right now

My reaction right after the ball fell on the ground on 4th down was, "Well, we were bound to lose one of these sometime"

The Falcons have looked inept in passing offense for the last 4 loving games, and if not for Devonta Freeman, we'd have no offense at all, except for the usual highlight reel performance from Julio Jones. He just as often, though, puts up a fumbletastic, dropsies-laden game.

Tamme seems to be taking the slack up for the receivers... I don't think Shannahan is very good at designing routes in a passing offense, clearly his running mind is loving incredible.

Judging by the way he looked at McCoy after the game ended, he probably treats his teammates about the same.

If there's one thing I've learned about Jameis Winston over these past two months, it's that he's very good at making the worst possible decision in any situation.

Jameis is the 4th highest rated passer in the past 4 weeks. Jameis has no turnovers in the past 4 weeks. Jameis beat the Falcons without his top TE and 2 of his 3 best WRs. Jameis is a good quarterback.

My favorite was when Kwon yoinked that ball out of Julio's hands and took off running with it.


Is that just considered a fumble? There should be a third turnover stat for situations like that.

That play owned. Pretty badass game from Kwon too considering his brother died Friday night. He had 11 tackles, 1 INT, and that awesome fumble play. He was in tears when he got the game ball, pretty moving moment and they have it on the Bucs website if you didn't see it.

Yeah, but with the rest of the schedule:
@ 49ers,
v Colts,
v Vikings,
@ Buccaneers,
@ Panthers,
@ Jaguars,
v Panthers,
v Saints...

...the Falcons are looking at 10-6 at worst, with all 6 losses in the division.

I can see the Falcons being the 6-2 team that misses the playoffs. Some team has to complain about the 7 and 9 Cowboys getting in when they didn't.

Their lead is big enough that barring a Falcons esque late season collapse, they're not going to miss the WC.

I wrote this about the Falcons after the 5-0 start:

quote:

Falcons might a complete fraud and they might start 10-0. So far they beat the entire garbage NFC East division and Houston (garbage).

Here is their next 5 games: Saints, Titans, Bucs, 49ers, Colts.

That schedule is weak. Unless Indy turns it around the Falcons don't play anyone worth a poo poo in that stretch.

Looking further down the road they have Vikings, Bucs, Panthers, Jags, Panthers, Saints.

They're almost certainly going to the playoffs and someone is going to completely shithouse them.

We could lose every single one of those games, especially since we somehow lost both of our starting cornerbacks in the Buccs game. No word yet on how long they'll be out.

If you've been watching our games, you would understand the record. It's not so much that the Falcons are winning games against poo poo opponents, it's that we're lucking into W's that are somehow being giftwrapped for us... by poo poo opponents.

Even turning the ball over that many times, we were still Robensen Therezie holding onto a football away from beating the Buccaneers on Sunday. Jameis is not good, man. He might get better, but he also might get worse. Right now, he's in the same Boat Atlanta is in, and that is benefiting from a WEAK loving schedule... that he's somehow not managed to win many games in.

I expect the Falcons to drop at least 50% of the remainder of the season, unless they can get right after the bye. We'll see though.

Apparently you haven't watch much of the Bucs and that wonderful D we're trotting out there. As for Jameis getting worse, that's probably not going to happen. He will have more rookie/learning games but he isn't going to completely poo poo the bed like everyone hopes.

He's actually been really good. Won rookie of the week in week 3. He's also been calling in the plays over Lavonte David this year.
