Evaluating Marcus Mariota, run game, troubling trends from Panthers loss | Falcons Final Whistle

Scott Bair and Tori McElhaney break down what went wrong against the Carolina Panthers, who seemed to beat the Falcons at their own game. They look at the team’s run defense, its rushing attack and the performance of Marcus Mariota, Kyle Pitts and the Falcons passing game. Arthur Smith also addressed Desmond Ridder so Scott and Tori do, too, and why it’s time to focus more on the Falcons stacking wins and less on NFC South standings after winning just one game in the last four.

Quiz1972 George

So you tell me we chose not go with Kansas City high power offense play calling for this dry non innovative offense because his daddy own FedEx. Arthur blank looking real bad right now

    MUTshane

    @Quiz1972 George we have the 4th ranked rushing attack??? That’s no coincidence? May I remind you that the year prior to Smith’s hiring we had the WORST (32nd) rushing attack in the league?? You don’t know what you’re arguing

    Quiz1972 George

    @MUTshane whoop the damn do the typical damn falcons fan. Glad for Crumbs. I see you didn’t say nothing about passing

    Quiz1972 George

    @MUTshane when this bomb gets to the super bowl like the last coach then you talk to me

    Quiz1972 George

    @MUTshane the last coach got to the Superbowl in his second year and what this coach doing you right I don’t know what you arguing about look at last night tape and you fussed with that

    MUTshane

    @Quiz1972 George Dan Quinn only got to the Super Bowl because he had Kyle Shannahan, Sean McVay and Matt Lefluer on his staff.

Quiz1972 George

We’re going to win just enough keep getting averages grits pics

Quiz1972 George

This team is killing the football season it’s not even Thanksgiving

Gabriel Rogers

This team is an absolute joke.

Adrian Goode

We need to get rid of Auther Smith Go get Shaun Payton and Lamar Jackson Dem will win a championship 🏆!!!!

    Butt Munch

    That’s such a terrible take. Running quarterbacks don’t make it in the playoffs. We’ve seen this first hand with Michael Vick. Coach smith has hit the ground running when he entered Atlanta and has performed admirably with the roster he has. We need to isolate and correct our mistakes and have patience in improving.

    Adrian Goode

    @Butt Munch N da NFL 2022 it win NOW frfr!!!

Quiz1972 George

Get rid of Author Smith and take him his quarterback with him

T Square

Mariota was a Bum in that game! Take him out of the game and put in Ridder to see what you do have.

    dt chevy 73

    been a bum

    Bible Truth Ministries

    Author Smith the coach maybe hes in love with mariota and playing favoriism and to keep him in the game when he knows the guy can’t throw the ball

    keti meleah

    🤣🤣🤣A.Smith will never start Ridder!!!

Levi

We smoking on that Falcons pack #FallDown #KeepPounding 😂

    Greatone910

    We own y’all ..we like 50-20 vs y’all 🤣🤣

J Hyatt

Did Falcons get exposed or is Carolina just better than their record reflects?

William Amey

We forgot about playoffs we are done

William Amey

Arthur smith might be gone after this season

Bible Truth Ministries

Authur Smith is terrible at coaching.
And Mariotta is terrible at throwing the ball.They got good Receivers. They will continue to be winless without Desmond Riidder being in the game.

Samuel Davis

The Falcons have been making something out of nothing.

Jo01

Not saying Ridder is the answer, maybe he is going to be worse than Mariota, but I think they should evaluate him in real NFL games to know whether they have the long term answer.
