*HARD KNOCKS LYFE* The OFFICIAL 2014-15 ATL DIRTEE BIRDS THREAD

[Livefromclayco]

I'm not saying trade 4 picks for Amari Cooper lol but somewhere in the 3rd or 4th round you gotta get another downfield threat.

The offense is fine but soon as the other teams start to realize Julio's the only threat we got it's not gonna be as effective.

1st and 2nd picks should be spent on the DL and FA will be used to shore up both lines and the LBs

Deep down I want the Falcons to win out and make the playoffs, but on the flip side I almost want them to not make it just so it guarantees that Mike smith is gone at the end of the season and we get a top ten draft pick. I agree that front seven needs to be worked on in the draft and I would love to be able to pick up Ndamukong Suh in free agency. The only position that I would like to see worked on offense, would be to continue to beef up the o line in later rounds.

Suh needs a coach that controls the locker room.Mike Smith can't control that dude

Either way Smith ass is gone, only way his job is safe is if they win the SuperBowl (if thats the case I wouldn't even care cause NIGGA WE JUST WON THE SUPERBOWL) . Other then that they dont make the playoffs he is gone, any lost in the playoffs he is gone.

Exchange from page 1 of this thread.

I like where the Falcons are right now. They're hungry to get back to where they were in 2012 and they seem to thrive when they are able to play the underdog role.

I'm also looking forward to seeing what Brian Cox can get out of the dline.

I agree. The Falcon's are looking rather Young, Humble & Hungry.

I was disappointed in Matt. Harry Douglas already came out and said that interception was his(not Matt's) fault. That's something that I already knew. If you weren't paying attention or don't really know shit about the game, you clearly missed HD running that sloppy ass route and quiting on the play not knowing that Matt passed him the ball.

Matt did have a few bad passes that ended a few drives. FGs don't win games....We lost because we went into the redzone 4 times and only got 2 TD(1 each half). I'm not saying that he needs to be perfect but um.....he could've played a whole hell of a lot better yesterday.

Roddy looked like a number #2 option to Harry Douglas yesterday. That fumble he had pissed me off. We had to settle for a FG. Maybe it's time to go ahead, put him in the slot and play that Tony G role in the offense. Father time is catching up to dude.

O-line was meh.....they don't suck like they used to. And i'm fine with that. They did their job which is "so so".

We can't score 30 points every game. I still stand by my statements.....Front 7, 4 new starters(high priced/draft picks) and an entire new coaching staff/gm with the exception of Mike Tice and WR coach.

I don't want to see shit else but the bolded. With that being said.....2 game winning streak gets us in the playoffs.

I hope whoever the DC is next year doesn't do that soft zone shit Nolan loves so much cause all it does is give up easy 1st downs.

And like I said before the lack of threat besides Julio needs to be addressed cause that's the difference between all these drives ending in TDs instead of FGs

 

[Chef_Taylor]

@numbaz check ya pm

 

[ya boi g]

Im ready for a new GM and coaching staff.... I was on board with Smith staying as long as Dimitroff goes but fuck that. Everybody needs to leave. Especially Mike Nolan, this defensive scheme is terrible. I hate seeming them go with the same shit that doesnt work week end and week out too. Tired of seeing Biermann get 95% of the snaps on defense and a guy like Mass get 0. Its like they trying to get fired. A lot of they may be on Smith tho. He always goes with the overpaid vets over younger more promising players.

 

[numbaz...80's baby]

Time to put up or shut up in a few days. Hopefully Julio is good to go. Willy Mo will be back. The defense will be themselves but the offense has to come out swinging.

 

[numbaz...80's baby]

Round of applause for the defense today.

 

[Livefromclayco]

I almost wanna take back everything I've said about Kroy cause he was beasting.

Lol at the aints having to pay 26 mill to a QB with LHD

 

[numbaz...80's baby]

I like what seen out of Ra'Shede Hageman too. Defense looked good, makes me feel that we only need 2 or 3 new front 7 starters instead of 4.

Gotta beat Carolina in the Dome & we're headed to the dance.

 

[Livefromclayco]

Yeah I kinda thought if the pass rush improved then some guys would look better on defense.

Whoever the next coach is should keep Tice cause the OL been on point since they finally stopped getting hurt.

 

[bignorm]

LOL. Yall niggas gonna go 7-9

 

[ya boi g]

Kroy had a good game. But still.... Fuck Kroy

Defense stepped up yesterday. But Nolan still did a lot of dumb shit. Like 3 man rush on 3rd and forever. I think they converted like three 3rd and longs.

Hagemann earned more snaps and Mass looked good on his limited snaps. They both need to gets more PT over guys like Osi and Jackson.

Offense looked good. Time to let Freeman get the bulk of the carries and run jackson on short yardage and late in games.

 

[jayblackdsgb]

We need the same defense to show up next Sunday.

 

[bignorm]

Serious question........... the Falcons make the playoffs....... they win 2 games...........

Yall still want Smith/Dmitrov out?

Or does that earn them another run?
