Panthers ruining the Bears having the top 2 picks today it seems.

Levis was either going to be huge bust, or a solid QB to a great QB. His arm is super legit the question is will he be able to adjust to the speed and complexity of the NFL

Ridder on the bench. He was apparently cleared from concussion protocols but didn't go back in. I'm interested to see how it's portrayed after the game. Will it be the Falcons being cautious with Ridder or will it be the Falcons trying to find a spark on offense.

TH seems like he’s a couple tiers better than Ridder. I can’t see them going back to Ridder anytime soon. Maybe they spin it as being cautious with Ridder.

And that's not good because it's not like Heinicke is a good QB.

If only 2016 Matt Ryan were here… sigh

I'd take 2020 Matt Ryan.

The Falcons really Falcons-ed that one. That drop by Van Jefferson just can't happen in the NFL. That has to be caught 100% of the time.

I just checked in on the Jets/Giants game. WTF that's one of the ugliest game I've ever seen. Giants have passed for -9 yards. Jets have passed for 193 and there's been 59 passing plays. Meaning the average time a QB has dropped back has 3.1 yards per play. That's ****ing terrible. Giants stayed in the game because Saquon is a beast.

If I was a coahc I'd send that to every receiver and say "This is why you keep your eye on the ball into your hands"

Modern NFL wide receivers have gloves with insane tack on them. There's no excuse to drop a ball you get 2 hands on unless you're getting clobbered or you land out of bounds.

Arthur Smith said they didn't take Ridder our for "performance issues." All indications are Ridder is still the starter. Arthur Smith is an idiot.

Could be posturing before trade deadline. Would love to see how we could make a Cousins trade work.

Cousins probably just ruptured his Achilles

I think I’m done with Arthur Smith… I was really optimistic about him and really wanted to see him succeed. Can’t stick with the dude anymore.

Just saw that. Wild season for the Vikings, they should just trade anyone of value who's near the end of their contract.

The guy is failing in almost every way a coach can. His play calling/design has been almost juvenile, he's a wretched talent evaluator, he's not an effective leader, and he has basically no discernable vision for the team.

I want the Falcons to succeed but I have no problem watching Smith fail. Dude acts exactly like the rich, entitled daddy's boy he is.

Ridder seems officially benched. Can we sign Ryan?

I think Tannehill is traded to Atlanta by EOD Tuesday for a 5th rounder. Maybe even TN picking up some of the contract.

A- he’s hurt
B- he’s too expensive
C- he’s not any better than what we have

It's sad because it's true.
