Must be nice to have an owner that isn’t a dumb clueless bitch that accepts shite results because her handlers tell her it’s cool

Im less mad that we are keeping dennis and more mad that apparently that decision was made two weeks ago

also the goalposts moving from “if he cant make the playoffs with this team he is done” to “well he was decent and we’ll give him one more chance to put it together”

Arthur Blank is pretty fricking clueless. I can't wait to see which yes man he hires next. He won't get a respectable coach because he isn't willing to hire someone with the balls to tell him to get the frick off the sidelines and out of the negotiating room.

Well he’s he about to get Belichick. So you can act hard all you want. At least the falcons made a move. We have some old hag that won’t tell DA to frick off

I’m sure Arthur sucks just working in a shot at our terrible, absentee owner

I'm fine with giving Allen 1 more year assuming he cleans house on the offensive side of the ball - kind of like giving O the 2021 season to see if he can fixthe mess he made in 2020.

Why the offensive side? The defense was similar, and based on level of competition, was worse. We should be embarrassed not to have a top 5 defense against that slate of offenses

He needs to fire whoever told him to draft Ridder and make him the starting QB. Same guy will probably tell him to draft Daniels who is pretty much Ridder with a Heisman and a smaller frame.

Arthur Blank is a poor man’s Jerry Jones.

But whose goalpost is that? Did Loomis or anyone with or associated with hiring and firing authority say that? Or is that just what our fans think?

I never thought DA was being fired if he went 9-8 and I wasn't sure him going 7-10 again would do it either. Regardless of what should have happened.

That’s got to be tough going out like that. Being super pissed at a bush league move at the end of a game by a division rival in a blow out, only to get shite canned later that night.

Ridder is a turnover machine. Daniels is not. Ridder shows poor fundamentals still at times. Daniels does not.

Matt Ryan pointed out that poor goal line pass yesterday by Ridder that should have been a pick six... Ridder had terrible footwork.

I guess on TV Ridder looks more stocky. Guess they are the same then. I’m a saints fan so I hope the Falcons draft him.

Blank told Arthur it was a make or break game. Getting destroyed in one half of football will break you

Daniels also has a tendency to get ultra conservative when he's not confident. That's not a good thing when your down two scores late in a game. Your QB has to be able to grip and rip even when having a bad game.

Last year? Ok. I think Daniels killed that narrative this year.
