Lets say goodbye to the Falcon's forum, until next year:

 

 

I can hope for teams like the Lions or Browns to do well, while knowing they'll suck, but there is something about the Falcons that I just now they'll suck

“Win because of QBs” cost $40-50mil per season.

Celebrate the “contributor QB” known as Heineke!

[Dark Acre]

Commanders did NOT clinch victory on a defensive turnover (takeaway); it clinched victory on a running into the punter penalty by the other team.

Brady in overtime is a treat.

This is the first time we've been two games over .500 in the Rivera Era

Obviously not running the ball every time goal to go.

Eh, ok.  Fair.  But I think a forward pass here and there isn't the worst thing in the world, even for them.  

 

It is for us.  But Mariotta doesn't suck uncontrollably.

I also think Ron is regretting his decision.  They don't trust him.  But they can't pull him. 

Regretting what? 6-1? It's not like we have some super star QB waiting to come in. Wentz is just a capable of ****ing up as Taylor.

That's good and so bad at the same time

Rivera already stated publicly they are staying with Heini, barring injury, even when Carson is ready. 

 

He also stated it was week to week. If we have a shot at playoffs and we lose bc of Heinicke in one of these Giants games, he’s getting yanked whether the 2nd round pick is safe or not imo, unless he starts playing a lot better

But it WAS the biggest factor.  Because everything that happens after that is because of that play.  
 

if Falcons run the ball there It might be a loss 

[NickyJ]

In come the Falcons fans to argue that running into the kicker shouldn't be a penalty when it lets a different team win.

[Voice_of_Reason]

I REALLY want the Bucs to fall apart and the Falcons to win the NFC South somehow.  

 

Brady in the playoffs is not something I'd want to run into in the case we make it into the playoffs.

Not as tasty as watching Scott Turner call a Falcons pass on first and goal from the 2 when they've been averaging 7 yards per carry.

If that pass hadn't been tipped by Payne it probably would have been a loss, because the receiver was open and would only have had to turn up-field slightly and he would have been in the end zone.

Imagine if he put up 17 in a Washington uniform.

What? I'm a Commies fan first which we all know, second, that's still a win, so not sure how your whimper is a flex.

 

Whatever chef two teams.....

Our running game and defense are the stars here. Payne played like a madman because without that tip that pass probably would have been a TD.

Time to pay that man and stop messing around.

I used to be on the draft thread the biggest Daniel Jones hater. I’ve warmed up to him a little but not much as he played in the pros. But I do think he’s better then Taylor for among other reasons he’s a run threat and Taylor is not. So I am a little nervous about the match up. Our defense though is better than theirs

That's what happens when you rely on talent instead of Moxie. 

 

Tom can't compete.

Congratulations to Coach Rivera on win number 100 as well

We have a great running game, great defense, mediocre at best QB play. Imagine if all 3 of those things were great. We'd absolutely be a SB contender.

I agree 100%.

 

Top consistent QB play is the hardest thing to find in all of sports. You're lucky if the first QB drafted in the league is a viable run of the mill starter in 6 years, let alone a top 15 quarterback.

 

Long story short..I stopped looking for "the guy" a long time ago and I'm super complacent with "our" guy ... hoping he improves and wins until we find the next guy.

 

TH is limited as hell, but he's capable enough to help us win and incredibly easy to root for (for me).

[Koolblue13]

That win is on our defense. They were pulling 7 yards a run and couldn't stay with it. Our defense won that game. 2 games over .500 because of our defense.

 

sure other **** is working, but it is our D
