    Tyler Chauvet

    Blough with the assist a fumble inside the 20 with 2 min left = yikes.

Two self inflicted turnovers lost this game for the Lions. The starting O looked phenomenal, but even 2 field goals by the backups win this game. Bet that’s the subject of the next group meeting.

    Noah Sacco

    @808bboarder both teams starters are looking solid, I wanna see your team succeed as well coming from a lions fan. I believe we both have very bright futures

    @Jay Creations

    Huh? The Lions starting defense looked god awful. What game were you watching?

    The falcons bootlegged and walked down the field.

    Offensively there’s not much to complain about, but this was a bad defensive effort.

Jake Wilson

Congrats to the Atlanta Falcons for winning the game against the Detroit Lions on the road!!! Marcus Mariota and Desmond Ridder played good tonight!!!

    Why is everyone arguing about 2 trashcan teams

    @Max79 🥇 Shoulda, coulda, woulda, same ole story, how else can we give a game away, oh, drop the ball near the goal, lol.

    Danny Williams

    @Babybone G Hutchinson will get double teamed a bunch and someone will have to stand up. Who?

    CK Clarke

    @KJ 95

    Because the fringes of these fanbases cannot see how terrible either team actually is.

    They don’t want to believe they will be picking top 5, but the Lions offense is literally an injury on the offensive line away from that even today.

    The Falcons are kind of interesting in that they are in total rebuild mode and some of these unknowns might develop into more.

    But by and large, you’re spot on.

Gameplay 101

Jarred Bernhardts catch was crazy good. It’d be great to see a former Maryland lacrosse star become a great NFL player

    @Ricardo Orozco he was body to body with the cornerback what you smoking?

    He went to my high school this man is an absolute stud and so dope to see him in the NFL snaggin TDS in his first game already

    Real Mom

    @Ricardo Orozco Rewatch the play, he had to literally throw the defender off of his body to make the catch.

D. Coleman

Our Front 7 in ATL looks a lot more inspired Game 1. I’d like to see our coverage improve a lot more before the season. Offensively, Mariota showed TONS of explosiveness that will allow for a lot more creativity in the offense. Ridder showed lots of poise for a rookie. Glad to get the dub and sooooo happy football is back. Rise Up! 🔴⚫

    Dro Capone

    I’m about to see what my bucs going to do tonight

    D. Coleman

    @Dro Capone 🤢. JK lol. Imma watch all my opps today and the Colts for my boy Matt. Yall enjoy Julio’s hamstring tho 🤣🤣🤣

    paul thomas

    Atlanta is a team on the way down.

    UnstoppableFPS

    @D. Coleman swifts touchdown run was over 10 yards? Lol 😂

    D. Coleman

    @UnstoppableFPS google the box score, then either apologize or delete your comment. 😉

Watching Marcus Mariota score off a bootleg play action is nostalgic for some reason. Just seems the dude has been around the league for ages.

    @Mark Trail facts he’s ready 🦆

    thomas Senemounnarath

    That is the type of playing that is going to get him hurt. Ridder will be playing by mid season

    FuckRoys

    @thomas Senemounnarath ridder will be holding a clipboard for couple years buddy

Thomas Mosher

Ridder looked good lions starting offense ran smoothly. Solid game for both teams for what a preseason game is supposed to be.

    @Richard Hernandez Same expected result for two teams trying to escape the seller.

    Deb Best

    @SonOfDumas I was at the game. Mariota and Ridder sliced up the D. Those types of QB’s will be difficult for the Lions to overcome.

    Ken Williams

    This actually felt like a real game

    imhotep nixon

    Ridder was throwing dimes

Alex Lopez

Something about seeing a Falcons QB scoring a TD with a bootleg run hits just right

T. Miller

Ridder was impressive! Hope to see great results from him and London. Maybe this year the Falcons won’t jut be mediocre.

    T. Miller

    @GFrancisco He’s just getting started. Let him be behind Mariotta for a year or so and he’ll improve. He’s got some serious potential.

    Mason Cole

    Just a ton of drops that make Ridder look worse than he actually was. Realistically speaking he was fine

    Mason Cole

    He looked ELECTRIC on the ground though

    Mega Man

    They never had a Defense I’ve been a fan since 88 even the SB year they where like. 23rd rated

    Mike Stand

    @Jake_RG there were 2 dropped interceptions too. i like ridder, but he’s not ready for #1 qb on any nfl team yet. he needs time, and mariota also needs to have his time as a starter. they both deserve this respect.

Tyler Chauvet

Ridder looked like Kap, knifing through the middle with long strides. Lions 1st team was crisp, linebackers looked slow to diagnose forcing too many tackles to the secondary to pickup the slack. Elliot was a sledge hammer. I’d like to see Malcom Rodiguez get into the starting lineup he seems like one of the few Lions LB’s who can actually read plays and close distance.

    Nah

    garry bussell

    My homie derrick Barnes plays linebacker . He missed read a couple plays I feel you. He just tries to rush tackles and ends up getting Burt to the outside

    Maloney 6380

    @garry bussell facts, there’s such a thing as being too aggressive

Sweetness Dabutta

I’ve tried to tell folks all off season…When you have a Mobile QB it helps the O-Line and Running game.

The offense looks to be way ahead of schedule and hard for defenses to deal with

This has been the best I seen the running game look in a long while. Algier looked strong running the rock…the o-line opened nice holes.

The back door QB stuff will eventually slow down the rush and the passing game will pick up.

The Falcons scored a TD on the opening drive and Pitts didnt catch not one ball and wasnt even targeted.

They had atleast 3 offensive penelties and overcame all of them…not to pick on Ryan but they would have punted if he was the QB in those situations.

It looks like the Falcons are going to be very good in the Red Zone this yr.

    Sweetness Dabutta

    @Adam Johnson Adam Adam Adam…smh its is what it is man….If your QB can move the pocket…It takes pressure of the O-Line and helps the running game…it is what it is

    Look around the League man. Buffalo couldnt run the ball at all..Their QB was ther running game….Chiefs O-line sucked…Mahomes make ls them look better…

    patrick pascal

    @Adam Johnson ikr right, revisit this 3 games in and itll be very different

    CK Clarke

    Bro. Take it from me. I completely agree with you on the mobility point.

    But the Lions back 7 is historically bad here. They cannot tackle or cover. They are literally going to surrender 1500+ yards down the middle this year.

    Matt Patricia, as bad as he was, understood the importance of protecting that area. The Lions are not even close to being suitable there.

    Don’t see this as me taking away from the Falcons. I still believe you guys finish with a better record and love your pov.

    But telling you from a Detroit perspective this defense is among the worst in the middle you will ever see on an nfl field.

    Sweetness Dabutta

    @CK Clarke trust me im not saying the Falcons are world beaters..lol im just saying they taking a step in the right direction…..Its only pre season and thats all you can ask for….we all hoping for gradual improvement…hell we sucked last yr

Grumpy Hobbit

Ridder is the future. UC’s finest!
Aidan Hutchinson is a MONSTER!

Ivan Ratnapradipa

Epic preseason game.

I felt like I was watching an intense college game.

Rude Bodega

Mariota can still move around pretty good, I love to see it! Ridder did pretty well out there too, I’m really excited to watch him develop over the next few seasons

Jason Tom HNL [譚志豪]

I liked how Detroit Lions and Jared Goff played in their only drive. Lions are going to have an explosive offense this season. Nice exhibition preseason game. Honolulu Blue and Silver to the top.

    Maloney 6380

    We gotta calm down on defense, got burned way too many times because of over pursuit

    Mark G.

    Yeah but, the defense got gashed upfront.

    Andrew Bowen

    I’m gonna root for Detroit. I knew by how they closed last season that they would be solid this season

    Mike Stand

    that is a tight and strong offensive line.

It annoys me

No Matt Ryan = New adventure for Falcons fans. It is refreshing to see a QB who can run. Yes, the rebuild will take time, but change is good.

    Chillllll

    @Slimkidd730 matt did nothing for atlanta for the last 3 years it can sometimes be better to have a mobile qb marcus performed way better than matt this game plus matt is not as athletic as Marcus

    Tristin Tevebaugh

    @Slimkidd730 as much as I love Matt he wasn’t able to do anything in ATL, tbh they held him back. And while yes mariota isn’t as accurate as Ryan it’s not because he’s a running QB. For all we know Ridder could have the athleticism of Mariota and accuracy of Ryan, obviously that’s optimistic but that’s the point in saying that it’s a new adventure, anything can happen including success we didn’t even achieve with Matt.

    Jon ONeal

    Of course, all time falcons fan but glad to see we have someone new

    Tyron weathermen

    I know this preseason but watching this game reminds me of cowboys vs falcons that victory now is the other way around

    Finston Howard

    For real i got sick of matt ryan so called “matty ice” just sitting in the pocket taking sacks. A good quarterback should be able to throw and scramble when need to.

Felt like a Playoff’s game.

    @Oppressed White Neither do Falcons

    Pike

    @dy they been to the Super Bowl twice to lose Lions not 1

Mugga Squad

This was the best preseason and most entertaining game so far In the preseason and ridder looks promising

Oof

The fact that these games are being played like actual games tells me this season is going to be a tight one

PooPoo83

I love how he’s giving max attention to the run game. Something we’ve been lacking for year now. Rise up
