We are also pushing this agenda as well. We didn't know how good we had it.

Bottoming out in 2026 with a brand coach, GM, etc. with an eye towards taking a QB very high in 2027 NFL Draft is probably the best path forward for the Falcons, but it remains to be seen if ownership has any appetite for that.

After next year, the Falcons will have to pay Bergeron something in the realm of $15-20 million per year. I'm just trying to make sure Arthur Blank knows he can get a discount.

As someone who has complained about Kyle Hinton's presence on the #Falcons roster for the past 2 years, he's been solid these past 2 weeks filling in for Matthew Bergeron.

So much so, that I'm really starting to wonder about Bergeron's status.

Falcons fans and media are coming out the woodwork to defend the decision to trade awaya 2026 1st round pick cuz of the team's sack production this year.

But what they fail to realize is that the scheme & blitzing is behind that increased production, not any one individual player.

It's one of the worst run defenses in the NFL. That starts upfront. One NT isn't solving that problem (although it would help).

Instead of checking the stats, watch the film.

Falcons season is done, but yet there are gonna people out there upset when this team isn't active making moves before the trade deadline.

They'd have to go 8-1 rest of the way to have a realistic shot at making the playoffs. What trade(s) is gonna make that happen?

04.11.2025 15:38 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Be my guest waiting 2-3 years for the development that at best is a coin flip on whether it ever comes.

They still need to add 4 more quality players to their front at edge & DT. Gotta bolster LB depth and still revamp the CB room.

The defense is in Year 1 of a 3 to 4-year project/process.

04.11.2025 15:34 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Defense: They can't get pressure without sending a blitz. They can't stop the run. And their CB room, besides AJ Terrell, is very suspect.

Offense: They can't win the physical battle in the trenches and don't have enough separators/man beaters at WR & TE

The fact that you don't see it is crazy to me. Coaching can be a bigger issue but that doesn't make the roster a non-issue.

03.11.2025 13:13 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The Falcons have lots of issues. A deficient roster is near the top of the list.

They have a few solid young(ish) pieces to rebuild around and the rest of 2025 is about finding out who else is joining that core.

The injury to Falcons LB Divine Deablo is a significant one, but I do think some folks have a tendency to be overly dramatic about how "doomed" the Falcons are with JD Bertrand needing to fill in for a few games.

22.10.2025 20:10 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 2

I don't see it as very probable that the Falcons are active at the trade deadline.

Intriguing players to watch in Falcons vs. Bills Naming five Falcons requires an expert hand given the increased attention from playing Monday Night Football.

I've heard a lot of rhetoric from Falcon fans over the past week that this is a favorable matchup for the Falcons and/or a bad matchup for the Bills. I don't quite see it that way. I think this is not a great matchup for the Falcons. But we'll see who is right about 10 hours from now.

Offensive Failure: Why the Falcons fired their wide receivers coach Declining play from the Falcons receivers has stagnated their offense, but is the coach to blame?

Why did the Falcons fire Ike Hilliard? Is T.J. Yates the right replacement? Will we ever see a beautiful Darnell Mooney downfield catch again?

Pass Rush Renaissance: How the Falcons survive A.J. Terrell’s absence AJ Terrell’s injury might not be so devastating to the defense due to the pass rush’s emergence.

Whoever has to replace an injured A.J. Terrell over the next couple of weeks will have a much easier time if the Falcons pass rush keeps it up. @falcfans.bsky.social breaks down that and other ways the team can keep the defense humming without Terrell
