You guys are killing it. Great coverage

[@MrArdhes]

Kirk Cousin our Dragon/ Demon Slayer. After the Safety i felt so bad, i saw another old-school Falcons loss coming from Miles away. One of many we have seen so often during the decade. For the J. Lake take i don't think he knows his personnel very well. And i hate the "made adjustment in 2nd half" narrative because it is not true >.< Seeing Landman not being able to pull a player down after a tackle tells you enough about his health status. Zac improved so much over the course of a season as a first-time play-caller. I am really impressed. Constant progress you love to see it. For the Dallas game, this might be one of their Get Right games... Let's pray Kirk keeps being our dragon slayer and he brings down another old Falcons Curse.

Ive said this before i think what jimmy lake meant by fast free and physical defense is hes just letting the player play cause he dont know what to do. I get defence is reactionary but he has to scheme and put these guys in a good position

[@boboharperoldbobostillhere7588]

With Kirk at QB, we're finally seeing all of the playmaker talent the Falcons have had on offense for years begin to shine. Kirk was the key to unlocking the offense, good move by the front office to go sign him. Kirk is the guy that can quickly read the defense and go through his progressions, then throw to the spot where he knows his receiver will be as opposed to Mariota and Ridder who were completely lost.

This season will waste a great offense and secondary. Reminiscent of the Matt Ryan years. Real good offense that has to be perfect because of a poor defense.

[@Cjhilly]

Penix was the right move in hindsight, i loved Verse but lets be real; adding a rookie with 2.5 sacks would not transform the pass rush in 1 season. Verse also has Byron Young, Kobie Turner, Fiske, and Hoecht freeing him up.

[@abyxis]

@@Cjhilly this is also true. A rookie edge was not gonna just make this pass rush elite

[@trav34]

@@dennisgreen3757It failed in Green Bay? Rodgers was picked when they still had and were starting Favre, he won a Super Bowl, and since Love’s taken over the team they nearly made it to the NFC Championship in his first year and look great so far. Not sure where you’re getting the idea that the strategy failed in Green Bay.

@@dennisgreen3757 😂 wow, you’re low IQ is seeping through the phone 🫠

[@BaronVonBielski]

Verse has had trouble getting sacks, but he leads the entire rookie class in pressures, and pass rush win rate. The guy took on Minnesota whose entire left side of the line is elite pass blockers and threw them around. Verse would help you guys big time. You can’t get pressure, he can.

Nothing dirty about the Fabulous Thunderbirds 🏈.

Get the likes up great content

[@inglewoodcustom6687]

how do they cut david onyemata? they restructured his contract recently and never even made a move by the way. Confusing!!!! I like Terry but he's made some very mind boggling moves. He has hit on the obvious draft picks. It's easy to hit on a top 8 pick 4 years in a row. He's done ok on free agency though so I do like him but he's done some crazy stuff.

[@timothyfisher5770]

Sacks don’t win games look at the giants leads the league in sacks and has 2 wins.

[@abyxis]

sacks dont win alone, but the giants also have one of the worst offenses in the nfl. Good teams however get pressure. This isnt denyable.

[@Cjhilly]

Facts, we knew our pass rush was going to be lackluster going into the season as expected. Even though i’m not a fan of Lake’s scheme, but we are top5 in limiting explosive plays and top10 in turnovers. Ppl are just sooo caught up in sacks because of the media. Turnovers > Sacks

[@abyxis]

@ you can’t be dead last in sacks. This is coping beyond belief. This pass rush was meh last year. Not the worst in the nfl.

[@falsestartfalcon]

So many positives but nooo, let’s stick to the same topic day in and out

[@BaronVonBielski]

The team had a decent offense but besides what positives are you talking about? Your defense is god awful and can’t stop a nose bleed. Your kicker was bad on Sunday. Special teams were bad. Run defense and pass were bad. There was way more bad than good. Don’t be delusional, you cannot go anywhere with this bad of a defense

[@SupeBeatz]

Mate..let’s be honest if they had Evan’s & Goodwin we would of lost

[@falsestartfalcon]

@ did we lose the first game?

[@Quentinatl]

I don't like the screen shot because the defense had 2 ints ane one fumble to start the game come on now

[@kevindog5080]

And that's pretty insane since we drafted so many defensive lineman and we still suck against our own eh one and done in the playoffs.

[@CHI-JORDAN-CHI]

how tf you know they are one and done? Philly coming into ATL is an automatic loss to you? Oh wait, we already beat them IN PHILLY!

[@tubsme98]

These are some lazy takes... you're complaining because DL starters & depth are better than the rookie picks? Verse and Latu have less than 5 sacks combined. How much difference would their 2 sacks make on this season? 🤷🏾

[@Super.5th]

Falcons pass rush will never be good
