They finally got the black experience and they acting like they dying. What did they tell George Floyd? Stop resisting, just comply. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Keep that same energy
Bill Barnwell at ESPN ranked the most frustrating teams to watch in the NFL. He nailed why for the Atlanta Falcons right on the head!! Direct shot at AS! 🔫
I hate how Matt Ryan has never been talked about or respected by the media. The moment he gets traded to the Colts everyone is firing up his highlights, stats and accomplishments. I bet half the country don’t know how good Matt Ryan has been in his career. Thats the medias fault.
Just thinking out loud. If the Falcons don’t land Deshaun Watson, you can’t just go back to Matt Ryan and be like “You’re our guy”. Feel like that would be disrespectful to the greatest QB in the franchise. You have to think they would let him go with dignity and trade him.
Matt Ryan in 2019: 4,446 yards, 26 TDS = Left off the NFL Top 100
Kirk Cousins in 2019: 3,602 yards, 26 TDS = Ranked

in the Top 100
And before you give me the yeah but Jazzy the Falcons didn’t make the playoffs; neither did Dak Prescott and Kyler Murray; both on this list.
Bellicheck apparently lied about being willing to let go of some control. Allegedly got to greedy with his demands. The Falcons weren’t willing to give him full control. Good job on the Falcons 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He wants over $40 million, fully guaranteed money coming off a major injury at 36 years old and 1 playoff win in 9 years, playing with loaded receivers and a great RB most his career. The Falcons would be so dumb to fall for this. Idgf what anyone says.
Remember when the Broncos were undefeated and their defense was nicknamed No Fly Zone. So the Falcons just shredded them with Tevin Coleman on linebackers in the passing game. This man lined up at wr running seam routes. TeCo: 4 rec 132 yards. Bijan I need this same energy!💪🏽🔥
The fact that it took a ton of public pressure and losing games for Arthur Smith to even consider this is ridiculous. He doesn’t deserve to be a head coach.
UPDATE:

RB Bijan Robinson is expected to finally get more involved in the offense going forward, via

From the report: "Robinson is in line to see plenty of opportunities, I’m told, including in the red zone. One source shared, “We are confident we will see…
I see what TF is trying to do now. He’s trying to create a 2.0 version of the 2016 Falcons roster. Rondale Moore is Taylor Gabriel in this scenario. He plays just like Turbo did. Short, fast, can track a deep ball, run gadget plays, returns, screens and play in the slot a lot.
I don’t want to hear any excuses if this fails miserably. He better stay healthy, and he better do more than pad stats while losing games. And he damn well better win the division at bare minimum. If we don’t win the division, the Falcons deserve everything that comes to them.

are signing Kirk Cousins to a four-year, $180 million contract that includes a $50M signing bonus, per sources.
Another monster payday for Cousins, who gets $100 guaranteed — $90M in 2024 and ‘25, plus another $10M in 2026 — and a fresh start in Atlanta at age 35.

Im black, my girlfriend is Asian and we like all the rush hours. It’s a comedy. We don’t get offended and we can laugh at our own cultures. People today need to get a grip and stop being offended for everything.
My Top 5 Falcons list of what I’m excited to see the most in 2023 season:
1. Desmond Ridder at QB1
2. All the new DL additions
3. Jessie Bates/Clark Phillips/Jeff Okudah in the secondary
4. Kyle Pitts healthy with Ridder
5. Bijan Robinson/Tyler Allgeier combo
I wish the Falcons had a head coach like him. He calls amazing plays, he makes sure his best players get consistently get the ball, he’s very likable and he talks like a regular person without a fake tough guy persona.
You can yell at the tv, criticize the mistakes, ask him to improve on his game. But you still should support this kid and his development in the league. Not actively hope he fails and gets replaced so you can win an “I told you so” twitter argument. I ride with the Falcons and

I know Ridder is not supposed to throw in double coverage but this pass was dropped in the bucket between two defenders🪣🎯We had our chances in this game. I see more growth in a loss than a win with rookies. He takes check downs, scans the field, runs only when he has to, etc
For those that say Ridder lacks the physical traits to be the guy; leadership is one of the most important and underrated qualities a quarterback can have. Some of the most skilled, big armed QBs have failed because they were poor blame deflecting me guys. Ridder shows leadership
Great story on how
@jeffokudah
became an Atlanta Falcons player. He was rehab training with Oliver Davis (OD) same guy who trains AJ Terrell, and he got to meet him and started watching Falcons film. Jeff asked who the other Falcons corner was. OD said he didnt know. Rest history
If we trade Julio Jones, then TF and Arthur Smith are full of shit and talk out of both sides of their mouth. Kyle Pitts over a quarterback is a win now move, they said it was win now mode. Trading Julio Jones is not a win now move, it’s a rebuild move. Period.
Good to see him back in the building. He’s a big upgrade over Pruitt for Desmond Ridder’s continued development. And I bet you anything Ridder won’t miss him high 10 feet in front of him wide open…🙌🏽
The most important part Matt said was “if they go rookie QB, they go with a younger coach, if they go with a veteran QB, Bellicheck makes sense”. There ain’t no veteran QB available right now that moves the Falcons needle to being a serious contender. Therefore you must go young!
All our key players in rookie contracts and we bout to get a rookie qb and they want the oldest coach in the league, close to retirement; doesnt make adjustments, stuck in his ways, bench’s QBs as much as AS, sucks without Tom Brady and was awful drafting with GM powers

Name me an Atlanta Falcons player you loved, but was real frustrating to watch lol. For me it was Robert Alford. When he was good, he was real good. He has so many clutch pick 6’s, but when he’s bad, he’s burnt toast or getting 5 pass interference flags in a game and holding.😬😂
We practice this every pre game with Drake London and you rarely see this in the actual game being attempted because of Arthur Smith. It’s a disgrace!!
Preseason or no preseason, Mariota is NOT going to step in the pocket and drive the ball accurately like Ridder does here. And remember the defensive backups are in but Ridder was also throwing to backups as well. Give him Pitts London OZ and CPatt and tell me he can’t deliver.🎯
Bryce Young would make a fine Atlanta Falcons quarterback. He can do everything, makes smart decisions, scans the entire field, can run, accurate, and not afraid of the spotlight. He would be a quality transition from Matt Ryan for the future. 👍🏾
Demaryius Thomas in 2012 vs the Atlanta Falcons. Finished with 8 rec 78 yards and this ridiculous toe drag last second TD. I remember this catch. We were up 20-0, Broncos came back within one score but Michael Turner ran the clock out and Falcons won. Great game. RIP DT 🙏🏽
Why are we the only team not allowed to just move on with the decisions we made to develop our young quarterback? Kyle Trask, Kenny Picket, Jordan Love, Sam Howell, Mac Jones are never talked about needing to be replaced to win now with Lamar. None of them. Sick of this shit! 😤
Update:
#Falcons
coach Arthur Smith said the team "absolutely'' examined the idea of trading for Lamar Jackson, but declined.
Last week, owner Arthur Blank said the Lamar situation is "very different" than Deshaun Watson' from a year ago due to concerns with Lamar's availability
