It wasn't just the Philly game. In four out of six games now Turner has averaged less than four yards per carry. That is unacceptable.

Turner #9 In NFL
here is unequivocal proof that Michael Turner SUCKS. He is ranked 9th in the NFL. DISGRACEFUL, We should trade him for Lendale White a far better investment. / Scene
Let's be real. If turner was running behind a better line he would be top 5 or higher. The FACTS are clear that even a bad Michael Turner, seeing as some say he can't get the job done anymore is better than the starting running back on 23 other teams.
Look at it this way, give Turner and Matt a better line this team does a hell of a lot better and looks a hell of a lot better. Some of the fans on here and I use that word loosely are ridiculous, if every player on the roster isn't doing something every week that makes them want to blow their wad in their pants they start freaking out like its the Tribulation.

Jackson has 507 yards a 4.0 yard average and 2 TDs. Turner has 466 and a 4.3 average and a TD.
And the Rams aren't even the worst team in their division, much less the league.
Not a great example.

This game is a perfect example of what im talking about..Matt Ryan is nothing but a game manger ..He is not a great QB ..He is not a bad one..You can not put this team on his back he is not that kind of QB and he is also a QB that can bring back a team with a deficit .
That wasn't Ryan who put the team on his back and brought us back from a deficit in the final minutes of the Niners game two weeks ago after Turner had been shut down the whole game?

Hey, no trying to bring logic into this discussion!
Seriously, though, remember 2008 vs. Chicago? Turner had 54 yards on 25 attempts. Who led the come back?
How about Chicago again in 2009? Turner: 30 yards on 13 attempts. Falcons still won 21-14. Those 30 yards really led the charge.
The Jets in 09? Where Turner left after 1 carry? I guess he wasn't a part of that game winning drive either.
Does Turner running well help the Falcons win? Yes. Does Turner not running well guarantee a Falcons loss? No, when the kids gloves are taken off and Ryan is allowed to call the plays, our O moves the ball much better.

We should have lost that game on a Ryan int ? is that a correct statement..Nate gets down there we lose...Then what do you say about Ryan ..
Lets call a spade a spade..Our team struggles are not on Ryan enteirely but he needs to get some blame here.
He looked so much better his rookie season then he has now
I think his best game this year so far from a looks standpoint was the Saints game

Ryan had nothing to do with yesterdays loss LOL. The defense let us down. Why can't this clown SWIFT get banned, I knew his act was showed its head sooner or later. He is only going to get worse from here on out. That is unless we start winning again then he will hide.
That's calling a spade a spade.

Swift is not attacking anyone. He is stating his opinion... it seems to line up with what I think about our offense.
You are just having a problem because he is Swift. I don't care who he is. He has every right to his opinion. I don't see why everyone is on attack mode to be against him. If you would just listen to some of the things he is actually saying then maybe you would remove the "troll" tag that you have on him and just have a decent highly opinionated conversation.
BTW, our entire team let us down. Ryan IS a part of the team, he is getting the blame as well. Ryan has been off the last 2 games. Something just isn't right.

Thank you my friend..
and yesterday game was not on Ryan at all never said that he just didnt take over when our rushing attack was stopped ..There were other problems in that game before Ryan gets listed as one of the reasons why our team didnt show up..

When we go to no huddle 95% of the time it is with an empty backfield. If teams are getting pressure on Matt with max protection, what do you think is going to happen when we only have 5 linemen to block.
The Eagles were able to slow our rush with misdirection. With the threat of that end around our Dline was slow to get up field. We need to show those types of looks and run more screens. Turner doesn't have to the traits to be successful at this. He is a downhill runner. Its time to go to Snelling, because he offeres way more versatility.
