Hey Coach please fix these problems. We want the Falcons to go to the playoffs and it won’t happen if we play like this against top teams. I still think you’re a great coach though, just get it together. Thanks for taking the responsibility for the loss
@David Hernandez before this game we were the wild card in the playoffs what are you talking about? We are 1 game below 500 not to mention the Saints & The Bucs lost today the main threats to the division are a game back as well which means we aren’t in any worse of a spot then we were before we stepped off the plane this morning, IF we come out and handle the Patriots on Thursday then We are very much still in the playoff picture and fighting with Carolina for that wild card slot. Please know what you’re talking about before you comment man.
When you think abt it. There’s only so much a coach can do when his players can’t perform. He has a physical scheme but all the receivers other than pitts are too small and can’t get separation. The secondary of the defense can’t guard any man on man. U can’t blame Arthur smith for that.
@David Hernandez i disagree, if brady, mac, allen, garapaolo, newton, get injured we have a great shot
@PackofWolves 🐺 Can’t call long pass plays bc the line can’t hold up, if you paid any attention, the man’s working with, and calling plays based on what we have.. One guy catching balls Pitts, Codarrelle is a great swiss army knife on offense, but no Ridley, no #2 Gage isn’t reliable, OZ is at best an okay #3 and Jake Matthews, and Lindstrom by far the only 2 quality Olinemen, Davis isn’t running well at all, no run game, no #1 reciever and a shaky Oline, what you expect him to call a deep post? Ryan would be annihilated, I’m not even making excuses I’m just being real.. y’all Fairweather fans kill me, just expect new coach to walk in, lose players, no cap space relying on rookies in KEY positions and expect a deep playoff run.. open your eyes
@Big Bouncer They are blind and Senile like the owner who doesn’t know how to build a team…
As disappointed and embarrassed as I am, I’m still going to RISE UP.
We need a new owner who understands how to build a football team…We only have 5 good players on the entire team…Pitts, Ryan, Grady, Patterson and Terrell…No talent no depth ….Good Luck
@William Warren you’re very kind. Thank you.
You can’t! It’s called false sense of security. Keep smoking 🚬 that stuff lady. It ain’t helping
YOU AND ME BOTH AMY, NEVER STOP SUPPORTING NO MATTER HOW FAR THE CHIPS ARE DOWN.
@Amy Bennett As a Atlanta native, This was hard to watch. But Hopefully they’ll get it together and play better on Thursday
I’m not even surprised after seeing hundreds of Falcons games
None of us are my friend. At least we’re up on the saints 54-51 all time.
I know we in rebuild mode, but I definitely didn’t see this coming today😞😞
With our o line and d line being the worst in the nfl no suprize
How did you not see them losing to the cowboys?
Apparently Smith said this is not a rebuilding year before the season started……lol
Why Jaylen Mayfield is still starting as guard for us is beyond me. I have never seen an offensive lineman as bad as him regardless of being a rookie or not.
@Jersson cardozo so u basically saying Chris is not good he’s be far our best lineman top 10 lineman inna league
Were gonna be like the bills from 99 to 2016
@Ali never thought anyome could be worse then peter konz
There are times he has played ok, but I honestly think its because they just have no choice but to play him.
@Felix Colon more like the bucs from 67-2001 😂 😂 😂
This was always going to be a difficult, up and down season. So many new parts. Keep going guys, experience for next year, fix the wrongs.
@Michael Smith Would you rather be the Atlanta Falcons or Lions.
@Ron Watson …last week a good game and this week. Not a good game..that’s what it boils down too..he is a good QB..go Falcons..rise up for Thursday!!
Yeah, but as a fed up falcons fan, that wait till next year speech gets pretty old, especially if this time next year, we’re still a 3-5 or 4-4 mediocre to below average team
Like I’ve said, this team takes 1 step forward and 5 steps back
@The Unknown Gem stupid question, I’d rather be neither, I’d rather be the bucs, defending champs, or even the Braves, having a parade
@Spider Sense Not exactly stupid, at least we can win more than one game unlike them. This was not our week, because the Cowboys have more depth than us. Smith is trying to make do with what we got.
Straight Embarrassing.. You get blown out by the guy you replaced and then not even score a TD
Koetter was a better offensive mind then “i had derrick henry” smith
Clearly was overhyped from last weeks win and Dallas lose . This was the Giants playoff game where we only put up 2 points. The DB’s and D line need to be 1st position addressed this offseason can’t blame matt when receivers can’t make plays oline wont hold and D is a turnstile. Smh
Mr.Smith let me explain to you why this is not gonna cut it here in ATL. It is not the fact that we lost to Dallas…..everyone loses once in awhile…. it’s about how we lost. All of us falcons fan go through it everyday since we become the joke of the league. So we as fans and lovers of this football team come out support and cheer for yall to go out and do what god blessed yall with the ability to do which is play and coach football at high level, We aren’t just going to sit by and idly except the fact that you came out here got punched in the mouth and instead of showing some fight and heart, you packed it up halfway through the second quarter and Quit!! Down by 30 before the half and every time we touched the ball your go to was (again down by 30) to try and run the ball and make it to the half with your tail tucked between your legs like cowards!!!! YOU QUIT!!!!! THATS WHAT MAKES US FANS THE MOST EMBARRESED AND DISSAPOINTED AND ASHEMED!!! That Logo you guys are blessed enough to put on your helmets and jerseys and wear every week MEANS SOMETHING TO US!!! AND IT SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING TO ALL OF YOU IN THAT LOCKER ROOM!!! We are fans werent blessed with the chance to play for the falcons but I know myself and the rest of us put on our falcons hats,socks,shoes, hoodies, etc. every game and we have pride in our team and expect that from you guys as well. You come out every week and you call these constant ineffective draw plays and screens as if you’re still with the Titans and you got derrick henry in the backfield! listen coach you’re not coaching the titans your coaching the falcons. Every game is the same thing (Yes, even our wins) are the same. Run,Run, pass…..well coach guess what…..If you cant run on 1st down and you cant run on 2nd down and we are in 3rd and long, well of course im gonna expect Matt to drop back load up and attempt a deep pass because its 3rd&7 and we havent been able to pick more then 2 or 3 yards a clip. Listen this team needs to find the pride and passion to play for this team, its needs fight and grit!! We for sure will not get the winning culture and attitude in our locker room, if our head coach doesnt have those traits himself!! It all starts with you coach find your spirit, your heart. Stop coaching scared and coach to win games!! I believe and hopefully everybody in the locker room believes we can win games!! but you have to give them a chance! No more coaching to run out the clock as soon as you step foot on the field come the 3rd quarter be aggressive go for wins and we can do this!!! (P.S. I know this does not fall on you, but Our secondary just is not good enough to hang with elite offensives and its not even close as we saw today, You and the GM should sit down and come up with a plan to attack that with solid Vets in free agency and some nice upcoming talent to partner with terrell) RISE UP!!!!!!!
Exactly ✍🏾
Facts it has to change Ryan still looking shell shocked we wait to we get buried to run gallman I dont understand that
Feels like theres no silver lining with this team ever. Even next year we cant get any FAs for 3 years due to bad ownership
The Falcons have to bounce back quickly short week this week
Bounce back? Lol
This is disappointing. Heartbreaking. I’ve been a Falcons fan my whole life but damn, it is such an energy drain to keep supporting this year in and year out.
I wanna boycott blank soooo bad.
31 other teams then. Pick one 🤷🏾♀️
It’s not just Blank or 31 other teams. It is in the team culture. It’s the team DNA. The winning mindset is not there and when they have a chance to win it all, they find a way to lose.
@PrettyGlam nice originality troll
Let’s go falcons get it together please 🥺
The falcons took it very raw.
I was out and about Saturday, met a lot of cool Falcon fans here for the game. Hope they all make it home safe✊🏿
I hope y’all don’t
We’re outclassed at every level. So bad IDK no where to start. It’s still #RiseUp tho. Let’s get the W against NE. We can still stay in the playoff race
Watching the Falcons when they play is almost the same as being at a Travis Scott concert… Ease my chest pains please!!!
😭😭😭
That was one of the most gutless, embarrassing performances I’ve ever seen. I cut the game off before halftime. FIX IT
As a Dallas fan gg I’m sorry this wasn’t personal I mean it was but we had to take our anger out on a team y’all played good for the first 5mins of the game though but hope y’all do good in the draft 👌💯
I cant explain the 4th and 7 call at all especially when we have Koo. Other than that who didnt expect an up and down season hes a 1st time head coach and honestly has a bad hand. Your number 1 weapon wanted out so you traded him before the season, then the new number 1 needs time to get himself together. I see people flaming Smith but lets not forget about what weapons he has on offense, theres nowhere near enough playmakers and he came into this thing in Cap Hell.
