The Good and the Bad...

The Good: Our offense looks more versatile than in previous years. The run game was strong, all our RB's got involved in the passing game, cooks was cooking graham and colston doing the usual

The Bad: Poor tackling, non-existent pressure on matt ryan, poor coverage technique (not sure why we're playing so far off on the receivers), linebackers that couldn't cover to save their life, sean payton abandoning the run game

At the very least I think we will be a better road team this year.

Sorry but: you lose to Falclowns it is all bad. Defense looked horrible and tired. Offensive line still can't run block. It will be a long year. And that is the good parts.

I beg to differ there. We left some rushing yards on the field due to us not running the ball as much as we could have. The team had about 140 rushing yards. And that was on the road. I think our oline will be fine.

Possibly. But we must have been watching different games. When it came to crunch time, their defense made a joke out of our o-line. I don't want to say it but...

there is hope for the defense. did you see all the help our defensive picks made? or did they all sit on the bench holding hands?

Like when we punched the ball in with under 2 minutes left in the game?

How is Greer? If I see P Rob play anymore I think I am going to die of cardiac arrest

Our defense made me sad. Sooooooo many third and longs converted and soooooo many third downs ALMOST converted like when Matt Ryan scrambled for 9 yards and almost got the first down. SIGH!!!!!

I mean you have to be kidding me. You have to be f**king kidding me!!!!

kicked in the teeth now lets see how they get up after being slapped all around the field.

Good:Cooks, obviously. PT, Ingram and Robinson all looked great.
Bad:PRob and Vaccarro were useless. I saw a lot of plays where we rushed 4 and got good pressure but Ryan got rid of it real fast to PRob or Vaccarro's man. Either they've gotta cover better or we've gotta somehow hide them. Jimmy Graham looked disinterested. Not trying for possibly catchable balls, sliding or running out of bounds to avoid a one on one hit with a 200lb DB is unacceptable. He reminds me of Lance Moore with the ball in his hands.
