^ Eh, I get Atlanta, they've had a ton of injury problems. Roddy White only finally appears to be getting healthy, and Julio Jones went down early. I'm way more surprised by Houston though. I thought they were the best team in the AFC going into this season.

The downturn was the loss to the Seahawks IMO.They never recovered from that. J J Watt was practically foaming at the mouth after that game, and Shaub's confidence was obliterated. The whole team took a dump after that

I hear clammers to get rid of cook after that incident but i still want him back next year.

Why weren't we letting rhodes stick to a man earlier in the season? He took on brandon marshall and closed him down

Cassel actually has pocket presence and throws the ball where receivers are going, as opposed to ponder who waits for them to stop and literally have their hands set ready to catch. Cassell had a lot of balls deflected though, seems to really only have one throwing motion and that is the straight ahead dart.

Cook gets lit up and can't stay healthy to save his career. No chance he's back in 2014.

Falcons fan here


Comin into the season we let our veteran right tackle and center become free agents. 1st game of the year we lost our starting defensive end and fullback for the year. Same game lost easily our best linebacker for half the year. Before the season roddy white hurt his ankle in preseason game. Shouldnt have even played but had a games played streak he wanted. Just now getting healthy. While he was tryin to get healtht while playing julio went down for tge year. Aside from injuries we have 2 rookie corners who play a lot and 2 bad safeties.


Its mainly the line tho. Its the worst in the league. But its sick we will get such a high pick. We will be a playoff team next yr no question

okay. Well that explains it. I didn't know the team was that hurt. Tony should have retired.

Injuries are definetly an issue. I still wouldn't mind resigning him on a limited contract with salary based on production much like jerome simpsons contract. I still remember cook as the dude who could play megatron and a lot of elite receivers. Poor showing last game but i still think he's solid and would take him back for reasonable price.

Yeah, if the price is right I guess, but I've seen a lot more of injured or bad Chris Cook than I have the Chris Cook who was playing Megatron tight.

Mariota not declaring basically ****s us over for having a chance at landing our franchise QB in the first round. Houston and Tampa will be threats to take Bridgewater, and Jacksonville, Oakland and Cleveland aren't too far ahead in the standings either. If we end up reaching for another QB in the first I'm gonna puke.

i reall dont see any franchise qbs in this yrs draft anyways even with mariota. dont see a ton of talent there. i havent been real impressed with bridgewater. the best qb is by far winston who is too young


someone will go and grab manziel early, i guarantee it. but im rootin for the kid, hes awesome.


hopin my falcons can either trade their pick for a haul or draft clowney. no clue what you guys can do to be honest. cutler might be out there??

Mariota is overhyped and Tampa definitely is not taking a QB in the first.

I promise you the Vikes go defense first and probably even second as well.

Falcons need D-line help bad.
