Atlanta getting a few calls from the refs, but they are missing some holds on Babs and Beasely

Hard to think Ryan has ever played better.

Our screen game is pretty effective as well.
 
Why are we so ****ing awful at defending the middle of the field? Spineless defense.

Edit: Thank you for finally not giving him everything.

Are the Falcons really gonna be in first place? Lulz.

I actually understand the last drive's defense. They weren't allowing anything outside and for big yards (for the most part). Even if the Saints would have scored, it took up most of the clock.

The Falcon's offensive line is elite. Mack was the perfect addition for the team.

It wasn't just the last drive, though. It's been that way all three games. I agree the line is actually looking pretty good, and Ryan is off to a solid start this year.
 
Those are two pretty talented offenses, but the defenses are college football level defenses. Just hope to get a turnover or a field goal because they cant get stops. Yikes.

Neither team could get a lick of pressure. I think the Falcons have to be the worst team in the NFL at covering TEs because those LBs just are lost in coverage.

Fun game to watch tho with some good offensive displays. Have to think Carolina is the heavy favorite though.

I see Campbell locking down TEs when he returns from injury.
 
Again, small sampling issues of course, but it's the NFL small samples are always an issue.

But after week 3 Ryan is for sure the top dog QB in the NFL. Highest DYAR, highest total QBR, second in DVOA behind only Garoppolo, and he's much much closer to Garoppolo than Carr is to him. The Falcons also are 9th in total efficiency, their offense is 2nd, special teams 1st and defense 32nd. Which is pretty lol worthy. To be so good at 2/3 of the game and so terrible at the other.
