We failed to cover the tightends


well, I'm sure the Seahawks were disgusted when Tony Gonzales made that big catch to set up the winning field goal...

TE's are driving defenses crazy a lot more these days...

I think the main reason ATL lost was they really didn't do much on the ground... not trolling... just an observation. You need a good ground game to put teams away in this league. Getting a good lead isn't good enough anymore.

I agree our rushing attack killed us too. Steven Jackson should still have a couple more solid years ahead of him, so I think we should be fine for now. Anything is better than what Turner was producing for us.

I mean we were up 24-0 at half and couldn't score the rest of the game, that still bothers me

Unfortunately our defense gave Tight ends 30 yard to run free before realizing they should be covering him


Good thing my team never does this. We are always on lock-down on tight ends.

But yea Ryan deserves a 100+ million dollar contract


Without looking at it too closely I'd bet half the league minimum would be willing to give him that tomorrow.

Per Carlos Medina who studies salary caps like no other, if Matty Ice were given the exact same deal tomorrow, the Falcons would free up 5.1 million this season, 15 million in 2014, and 51 million in 2015. And that's why Arthur pays Thomas the way he does. Rise Up!


What??

If Ryan had Ray Lewis on his team he would have already won a Super Bowl

It's everybody else you can't cover, right?

So, I guess we blame the loss on Russell Wilson, right?
