They went to the playoffs, they did not win in the playoffs. And that's what I mean. It wasn't until they added Julio Jones, one of if not the best young WR in the league, and one of the best of all time TE's in Tony Gonzales to actually win a game in the playoffs. IMO, Ryan is what's holding that team back, not leading them further.


lol so the fact that he lost in the playoffs his rookie year means he is holding the team back? The Green Bay game you may have an argument but I would counter with ATL had a first rd bye and GB was just a better team that year. The NYG debacle is probably your best argument but I consider that more a game plan issue, Ryan did play like shite regardless.

He played well enough last year in the playoffs.

He has been to the playoffs 4 times where he lost as a rookie, lost to the eventual SB champs but did well enough to secure a 1st rd bye, got destroyed by the SB champs and played like shite, and then won a game and was 10 yards from going to the super bowl. I wouldn't consider that good by any means but certainly not "holding us back".

I don't know about that. He sure did everything he could against the Seahawks to try and give that game away. And they should have lost that game. Again, he played well against the 49ers, then just melted down the stretch.

Thats Atlanta's whole deal and how every game goes. They light up the scoreboard the first half, Ryan makes a costly mistake or two in the 3rd/4thQ and lets the opposing team either tie it up or take a small lead. Finals mins he drives them just inside Matt Bryants FG range and they win by 3 or less points. Obviously a win is a win....but not all wins are created equally. And its always bit them in the arse when they couldn't respond in the playoffs.

Yeah and they were also a FG away from being one and done in a game they should have lost.
