Falcons: Falcons go into a prevent offense/defense after halftime

I'm sure we will start beating some of the bad teams but reality is we simply get outcoached against the upper echelon. I don't see us beating the Saints in ATL or in New Orleans either. I seriously doubt it - not with our offensive and defensive identities.

I can't think of anything to say. We are the good boy club. That's who we are. Good underdog stories across the board. American Idol/America's Got Talent style.

I could care less of what a guy's GPA or his background says. Get me some guys with bad enough tempers that they feed off of each other! This is just ridiculous. I was hoping I'd be eating my words with a side of crow. Instead I'm ready to say forget this season and do other things with my Sundays.

I had this vision of myself telling my son after the contest that MM called a genius game, but that was after the first two possessions. There was some brilliant stuff going on there. But head-in-shell is the only way to describe the rest of the game. Very disappointing, but there are plenty of people out there a whole lot more disappointed than any of us, and with better cause.

Tell me more please.

yeah Joe.......I hear ya.....I know Falcons success/failure impacts your family more than most.

Mike Mularkey must go though. There is a reason why Falcons have been outscored something like 60-0 in five games this year - Mularkey is incapable of continually building a lead against a good team - let's the air out of the ball and becomes predictable - you might can get away with that against the likes of Jacksonville and San Francisco - but against Patriots and Packers - you get your freaking asses beat.

Mularkey cannot win a playoff game - so Falcons can't because Mularkey's style of play will only allow you to beat a team where you clearly have more talent - and then - even then, its a nail-biter.

Against really good teams - Mularkey ensures a loss.

You know I have to look at things a little differently than most fans. I'm in a situation where I feel worse for others than I feel for myself. Those guys live and breath this stuff 100 hours a week. I invest three hours. They have to pick themselves up and dust themselves off the next day, but it doesn't mean they don't live with it for a whole lot longer.

Also on that 3 & 12 play... when Matt Ryan could've picked up the first down while running but slides 2 yards short... I thought Matty was a tough Irishman and would go try to pick up the first down. After I saw him slide, I loss all confidence in the Falcons winning the game.

Took me long enough. Edwards finally gets a sack, but against a second stringer, we could not run consistantly (took me long enough), Ryan can't throw an accurate deep pass for nothing.

I'm over the TD/Smith era as well as this "good character only" club! Get me some guys like Clabo and Hawley attitude wise and stop with this sissy-ball nonsense.

I'm over this regime. Winning season in 2011 or not, I just don't like TD's style or the rest of his guys either.

I'm with you on this falcon filter bullshit.....at this point,I don't care if we have mass murderers on the team as long as they help us win. In my opinion,that's wht this team needs, a lot more of a tude.

not giving up on TD and smitty yet, but if we don't make changes at the end of the season i'll be pissed. i can understand not wanting to fire MM/BVG 2 years into "the process" and i can understand not firing them after a 13-3 season, but unless we win the SB i don't want MM or BVG back....mainly MM.

3 defenders around him. He slides forward and he gets his head crushed in. I'd rather have him the rest of the season, he's already taken a beating this year.

Man, you know me well enough to know that while I don't like our HC, OC, and DC...even our GM, I do like the position guys a LOT as well as Les Snead. I know it hurts those guys a lot, especially sense they are not the ones who make decisions.
