Me too. The guy has the tools. Hopefully that catch is the piece he needed to get over the hump |
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Listened to death metal (Bolt Thrower) on the way to the sports bar. Ain't messing around with the dirty birdies!

Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Seems like nobody wants to catch the ball. Again.
|
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Dropped balls
|
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Were they dropped passes?
|
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Not sure what else you want T Money Sizzle to do.
Trautman and Stills dropping catchable passes. |
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Good defensive play on Trautman
Stills just whiffed |
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Maybe not drops, but could have been catches.
|
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Good to see Taysom on the field.
|
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Yes. Good pass catchers grab those. Not elite but just good.
|
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Excited to see what Siemian can do… Then remembered we don’t have WR’s.
|
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Matty Ice is holding his ribs already.

Gotta have that pick CJ.
|
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Damn that was an easy pick..
|
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Give Kevin White a look next drive. Maybe take a shot deep.
Trequan creating some separation would help too. |
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
No need to throw the ball the rest of the game. Failclowns run D is horrendous. Maybe one of the worst I’ve seen in a while.
|
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Trautman really sealed open that whole for Kamara...
|
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Sure would like to see Sean mix it up more and include Ingram on more runs...
|
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Well you can't say Saints WRs aren't getting separation...
Nice route by Deonte Harris... |
Re: Falcons @ Saints Game Day Thread
Sloppy, sloppy, starting to play down to the competition, again...
