I agree only if we can make the playoffs this season. So far I love what I am seeing but still too many inconsistencies.

Y'know, assuming he's in playing shape out the gate since he hasn't been allowed to practice with the team

If you don't know this metric, ANY/A is yards per attempt but also penalizing taking sacks and throwing interceptions and crediting TD passes.

MP looking good.

NFL.com has us ranked #13 in the latest power rankings, ahead of five teams with better records. Good on them - ESPN, CBS, and FOX Sports all have us at #19.

What have we done so far?

Handed the Packers their biggest loss of the season
Handed the Saints their biggest loss of the season
Handed the 49ers their only loss of the season
Lost 3 games by a score each, one in overtime
Lost a 4th game in a blowout, but with a 3rd string quarterback

There's reason to be optimistic. One hopes MP9 continues to develop, especially in short pass accuracy, and of course stays healthy. Those are big ifs. Our defense has played pretty well, especially considering a bunch of scores on us have been from short fields on turnovers from offense and special teams. Should only get better with JPJ returning.

I'm not going to jinx it with expectations - but things are looking *pretty okay.*

I have tagged this post nsfw because this post admittedly contains content of me singing for a man that's old enough to be my father. I think with the season most half way over and the falcons sitting pretty on top the NFC south after that dominating finished over the 49whiners Kyle shanbahan coached team.

We all know shanbahan very well here in Atlanta as an amazing genius offensive playmaker. He truly is generational at choking especially.

Matt Ryan proved once again why this moron should've been arrested if ever shows his face in Atlanta again. It was quite 28-3 but the score was half way there. We ran rampshod all over them in the ground and through the air. I hope mr

Shanbahan was taking notes because what I saw yesterday from the falcons. was far more impressive

Back to President. Matty "ICE COLD" AR MACHIHE MUN RYAN...

PHENOMENAL ON ALL FRONTS... THE CUPTURE AROUND THE BUILDING HASNT BEEN HIRE SINCE THE SUPER BOWL RUN.

Hes already done it. Y'all are fools of you can't see it.

Mark my words this year the falcons will be competing deep in the playoffs

Lol who the fuck can't we beat?

Despite coming off a tough loss to the Bears and a week of logo “controversy” fostered by people with the total gray matter of a broken crayon, the Falcons showed up when it mattered against the Niners, potentially changing the complexion of their entire season. 3-4 is way better than 2-5, and lands us within spitting distance of the division leader, i.e. the eternally schizo Panthers. Some specific thoughts:

1. Penix continues to improve. This game showed what he can do when not asked to zip the ball out within two seconds every single snap. He was poised in what might have been his best performance yet.

2. I have never been high on Pitts, but I have to give credit where due. He’s continuing to make solid plays, and notched another touchdown this game.

3. The rumors of Bates falling off were apparently false. He played well all game, and notched what might have been the single best display of athleticism and timing this year with a highlight-reel worthy interception out of bounds.

4. I know it’s one of the toughest penalties to clean up, but we still need to work on getting the guys to ease off these holds.

5. With the defense banged up, hats off to the guys who held the line and kept pressure, especially early on when things could have gotten away from us. Maason Smith and Lacale London quietly disrupted the Niners offense in particular, as did their peers.

6. After years of our team having quality starters and then shaky depth, this game should make every fan feel better about the competent team building afoot.

7. Dotson needs to do some work this week, especially on synching up with Penix. He’ll get there.

8. I’m not worried about Baker this week. It’s that defense we need to watch out for.

You can really tell how long everyone in here has been a fan by how hopeful they are about the Falcon's season. On the hope/despair scale, where do you rank? And how long have you been a fan?

Why does it seem like people people are still out penix after beating the niners?

Should we trade for either of those players ? I mean it would be upgrades to our rosters no?
