Following a season-opening loss to the New Orleans Saints, Falcons coach Mike Smith called out his front five for failing to come to the aid of quarterback Matt Ryan after a late hit by Saints rookie safety Kenny Vaccaro.

Yup, all the falcons fans were pissed that their offense just laid down and took it.

Agreed. Our old O line would've gotten a flag for throwing Vacarro around after a hit like that. Our new line is pretty young and still probably figuring out how the hell the game is that fast and so they did nothing.
They need more nasty.

If a Qtr back wants to wait till the last second to take the slide, then they deserve the hit. The way the rules now apply, all a qtr back need do o convert a third and long is scramble nd tuck the ball away for a run. Doesn't matter how many yards they gain if they time the slide right. They get the automatic 1st down.

The rule should specify that the qtr back isn't protected if they slide with a player within 3 yards.

Good job, Mike Smith. Way to spread dissent on your own team and somehow let it go public, you goober.

Mike Smith is a bottom 8-10 coach in the NFL. All that talent and he chokes consistently

Not sure I understand this. He drove the length of the field and just needed SJax to catch the ball and they would've won. Think you're putting too much stock in to that hit. But if it makes you feel better - be my guest.

Has the 2nd most wins since 2008 (to Pats I believe). Playoff wins is another topic but you were talking about a regular season game.

You don't get Superbowl trophies for regular season victories. This is where it counts, home-diggity

Hey, no argument from me there. When it comes to that, I'm more critical of ATL than anyone on here.
