American Radass

I think this coming season we are going to do slightly better than last year in some aspects. Others I think we will regress. However, I think we are building for a good future and I am optimistic it works out.

    Trucker TAY

    I’m with you on that , people gonna underestimate us next season

    dakota c

    We would have a GOOD record with a decent NFL QB but I hope for the best.

Taylor Gaston

What’s with all this building from the inside out stuff. We tried that and dunk a lot of draft picks in the line the past few drafts . At some point it’s on the coaches to get more out of these guys not just drafting more players. I’m glad they went outside- in. Would have been angry to see more linemen drafted when we are unable to coach up the talented guys we have

    andrew smith

    We will also have around 120 million to spent next year. Hopefully they can attract some quality vets to lock down the rest of the team

Nick bagnulo

hopefully they bring it on Sundays

Nick bagnulo

Hopefully this change is for the better

Nick bagnulo

lovin the ridder pick

Samuel Davis

Once the Falcons can find out who their guy is at quarterback, then they can finally put the finishing touches on the team.

Damian Beard

And we have a core now, Am I the only person that won’t be surprised when we sneak up on the entire League & Win A SUPER BOWL 🍜🥣🍜???

    Jonathan Cassis

    I’d be surprised if we did this 2022 season but not at all in 2023, rise up!

    Will Vazquez

    Have u seen our schedule lol

    Connor Price

    definitely not a super bowl year but i think we have potential to surprise people this season

Dre Moore

Need more vets team young lol

Beezy Dean

If they dont bring back Deion Jones i will riot

Q hughes

I watch every second of us last year and will promise you we will be much better…. Our secondary played low key amazing. With a pass rush our Def will be top 13 guaranteed……

    MRJ2012

    And if he doesn’t work out, they only used a third round pick on him

Jonathan Cassis

I hope Dez works out for us

iRON MiC TYSON

Whoever spoke after Wyche confuzed the ish outta me! “Tyler Anderson!?!”, they drafted a Troy Anderson, & a Tyler Allgeier. So idk who or which player he was talkin bout after he said “Tyler Anderson!” LOL no big deal, Wyche gave everyone good accurate info. Thx!

JamakinBaconx5

I think Desmond is gonna be a lot like dak. Light up the pre-season, give the staff no choice but to play him

Sweetness Dabutta

He reminds me of a more agressive Larry Fits…coming out of college. Go back look at the Highlights at Pitt read what the Draft talking heads were all saying. Avg Speed, Wins Jump Balls,, cant get seperation..etc etc..They gave Danny Green Hell for drafting him when he did…..Hopefully Drake can become a living Legend in his own right like Larry Fits did. For the Cards.

Nick bagnulo

Ridder misses checkdowns and open receivers. He is a very good QB that needs some work. That work can be accomplished in a matter of weeks or it could take a year. No need to rush the process when you have Mariota, who had winning seasons and a playoff win in the NFL, not to mention the heisman in college. Whichever QB gives the coach more of his playbook is going to play. Next year, let’s put him out there with a better oline, better Wrs, and a better defense. Let’s give Ridder a legit shot a success.

    Daniel Whetstone

    They need to prep him like KC did with Mahommes.

Nick bagnulo

Please back up all this talk
Sick of the losing
And the mediocrity

NO excuses for year 2 under smith
