dean is the man but we got the bills coming up soon so we gotta tune something up on the front 7

Derrick Linkhorn

Let’s be realistic we’re still a couple years away from being a decent team if you’re real about it 💯

    Diddy

    @WE TALK HAWKS TV we have only beat bad teams sir

    Sho Nuf

    Need more money too. And definitely gotta get rid of dead weight.

    David Breland

    @WE TALK HAWKS TV that is decent, decent is average decent mean there a .500 team. Great we are gonna need to continue in these scheme

    The Nation

    @David Breland we are very mid… only team with a winning record we beat was the Saints at the time

    David Breland

    @The Nation bro this the NFL the patriots were beating and crushing its division for years. We dont bat an eye. This is our schedule that was made. We are 7-2 in 7 or less games. We were 2-8 last year. We got beat by bad teams last year no adjustments. This team is not the same from the beginning of the year. They made adjustments thanks smith and pees and tony. Rush vaughters we got no pass rush but 14th against the past. 7-8 we werent suppose to have this record and Smith gave us an improved record his first year. Give them props for getting us this far. Dean pees working with the hand he was given. Dan quinn was suppose to give us this elite defense and didn’t deliver. This team is better than expected. Coaching is the key. If they can get this out of this patch of a team. What you think they can do with the team they build here. Scary scary physicality and more beef will be on this team. Foye stays jones need to restructure or move on. Sorry but we need a bigger and more physical LB with Foye. Like how carolina had with davis and luke that kinda of tandem. The offense will be smash mouth with play action, This is how you conserve matt ryan while preparing for the future with a QB a strong running game and a hounding defense. Scary future for teams respect will be in that building again. I know long rant. I said my ✌

Speed falcons For life

If we lose to the bills our szn is over we win we have a chance to make the playoffs please guys win

    Dip Shet

    Whats the purpose of making the playoffs? We wont make it passed the wildcard..back to the drawing board next year

    Aye Mal

    @Dip Shet it’ll be a good way to end the season on a good note, and have something to look forward to next year

    STiTCH

    The percentage of the Falcons making the playoffs is less that 10%. A whole lot of other things gotta go in favor of the Birds..

Blizzard WolfGangg🐺

Arthur is a funny Guy he corrected Dled on Jared Allen 🤣🤣😂😂😂🖤❤

Devon McFly

I was a fan of DQ and his positivity at one point but he clearly lost the team over time. I’m so pumped about Arthur Smith and what he’s done with our squad with less than ideal circumstances if he can get the job done when our roster has these limitations. I can’t wait until we get more of his pieces in place. The future is bright ATL! RISE UP

    Samuel Davis

    Dan Quinn didn’t have the success on defense because of his coaching in Atlanta. Now in Dallas he’s loaded with great players. Any defensive coordinator could coach that Dallas team. But he will get credit for turning around the Dallas defense.

    Chef Alex17

    Absolutely agree with you. Smith isn’t getting the recognition he deserves. He knows what he’s doing so I hope all the pieces can come together next season

    Sho Nuf

    @Samuel Davis Right Sam. Success usually starts with having great talent.

    Charles Clarke

    Absolutely!!

    Tavares Raven

    Yes indeed. I trust the process.. But about the qb position as far as the draft…. They gotta see what the fans see.. And plus..if we are stuck with matt ryan next year.. Go out and get him some decent blockers and a tall wr with hands.and… A monster LB.

Jay Alexander

Crazy how much Deion Jones has regressed and Foye has improved

    WE TALK HAWKS TV

    @David Willis bro Debo already said it in his interveiw. he doesnt play the middle he is on the sides. go watch his interview

    David Willis

    @WE TALK HAWKS TV watch the film, I’ve been to 5 games this season and watched him play often

    Good Looking Honkey

    It’s not crazy….. It’s laziness and too much money!

    Jane Michaels

    He hasn’t regressed. He’s always been an elite pass coverage middle linebacker and he is. He was never an elite run stopper. Foye is more well rounded so they been giving him more reps

Samuel Davis

The Falcons get 4 draft picks out of the first hundred. Hopefully Fontenot gets it right.

    Sho Nuf

    Hopefully he follows his gut and not keep yielding to coach. As the GM, Fontenot has to have the guts to make the final decision.

    Samuel Davis

    @Sho Nuf The GM makes the final decision. Unless you’re Bill Belichick.

    Sho Nuf

    @Samuel Davis Get that. Exactly how it should be (if the GM knows what he’s doing, not a TD) I’m saying it was reported or at least indicated that Fontenot yielded to Smith on some decisions. For example, Terry wanted to draft a QB while Smith lobbied for Ryan. Still shoulda drafted a QB to learn under Matt a year or two and then transition to our starter when ready. Maybe if given a chance tho, Rosen will be fine. We’ll see.

Kelvin Woods

By far this season, this is the best press conference for the falcons. It’s important to hear the questions asked and finally the audio has improved just like the Falcons coaching staff, locker room, and front office. Even Matt Ryan is improving. This definitely builds team morale when your online presence is just as good or better as in game performance!!! Keep getting better!!!

    Good Looking Honkey

    Ryan isn’t ” improving”….. Don’t lie to yourself please man

    R.Chapman

    @Good Looking Honkey Ah what’s the matter….. This regime didn’t get you what you wanted????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Good Looking Honkey

    @R.Chapman nope. And it didn’t get you anything but embarrassment. But you’re laughing… I’m serious to change it. Glad you think it’s f funny we pay this bum millions for nothing

Wild Child YT

Atlanta PLS beat buffalo! Fans dont lose hope bcz if texans can beat chargers or lions can beat cardinals we can beat the bill!

    The Nation

    I’ll cashapp you $1 if we beat Buffalo

    Wild Child YT

    @The Nation anything can happen, I wont give up on our team!

JT121

Falcons offense is different when they have Ridley, the two times they scored 30pts this year was with Ridley.

Nick bagnulo

Hopefully smith and pees gets the team ready for 2022

2021
,PLAYOFFS OR NOT
END 9-8
Bulid off the momentum into 2022

Nick bagnulo

HAPPY EARLY 2022
HOPING FOR A BETTER 2022 ,FOR THE FALCONS
Hopefully terry and Arthur can figure this team out
HAVE A GOOD FREE AGENCY
AND DRAFT

START STRONG
END STRONG
IN SEASON AND IN GAMES
fix the situational football

U WIN IN THE TRENCHES
NO MENTAL MISTAKES

END 9-8
PLAYOFFS OR NOT
Bulid off of that in 2022

THE FALCONS FANS DESERVE BETTER
I have a good feeling about BOTH SCHEMES

Our offense goes with our o line
NEED A RB AND WR and some o line

NEED A PASS RUSHER
another CB

Nick bagnulo

Pitts has the yards
Get him some TOUCHDOWNS
If he stays healthy and gets some help
WATCH OUT

IN TONY G 1ST YEAR
He had 2 TOUCHDOWNs

Nick bagnulo

Get pitts a true NUMBER 1 WR
And TRUE NUMBER 1 RB
WATCH OUT
FIX THE O LINE
AND D LINE
sick of say the last 2 things

LEARN from ur mistakes
Change up the play calling on both sides

    Laryan Ryan

    Get Pitts a QB who will throw it to him in the end zone.

A Par1160

I’m over it hearing about Julio and Ridley best of luck to both but..Need to give respect to our current team as the Falcons position now is much better than last year.

Ryan Williams

D led how do you mess up the name of Josh Allen in this interview? Come on man

Reese Dog

Debo got to be a lil salty that Foye took his role and is excelling at it. Have to wonder what happens next.

    Patricia Owens

    Look these guys have had to play more than one position or 2 or 3 this year,when one isn’t there for every game except 2 and losing Julio,so what,he has done there as he had done in the Atl in the last two years. We need a WR every game.i love CR but we needed you bro,I know of having a depression situation a daughter that is B.P. and family who have problems too going back through the Generations but we just pull ourselves up by our bootstraps a grind on. I really hope and pray that you have been able to get the help that you have needed for your mental health,and that’s for real.

MUTshane

We should trade Deion

No Name

It’s not Arthur Smith trying to make D Led look bad; it’s just that D Led be putting his foot in own mouth

van doren Tramplur

Has Arthur Smith smiled or laughed in public since being the Falcons coach
