‘Reassess and establish’ | Arthur Smith | Press Conference | Atlanta Falcons | NFL

enough of the prevent d
should of went for it on 4th and 1

I don’t want to leave this Planet without The Falcons getting a Superbowl Ring Please Wake up Guys😤 I Still Believe in Yall Go Falcons⚫🔴⚫🔴

less field goals more touchdowns

All you had to do was stick to the same defensive plan from the first 3 quarters and we would be celebrating.. they couldn’t stop us.. this team is good this year and I think we will beat the rams next week!

A number of improvements in the trenches. We all saw the game and know what could’ve been done differently, but let’s not get away from the leaps of progress our team has made. THE MAJOR KEY IS STARTING FAST AND FINISHING STRONG. That prevent defense was wild lmao. Entirely too much trust after getting burned on b2b possessions. 16 more games to go. Finish your food Atlanta.

Our problem is finishing and sticking to game plans y’all will be ok learn from it

If we lost bc they fought back & earned it, cool. It felt like they got the lead & started to coast & wait for time to end. Stay active whole 4 quarters & if ya lose, it just wasnt your day, felt like they give it away.

Thats my Damn Coach!!!!

Yall can say what you want…Im excited about this Falcons Team even with the loss.
They did everything the talking heads said they wouldnt do and couldnt do.
1. They ran the ball at will.
2. They dominated the trenches both sides of the ball.
3. Not only did they get pressure they got sacks…something noone believed they could do.
4. They had the Saints shook.
Bad stuff
1.The Falcons celebrated a lil too early.
2. Had a lot of costly penelties
3. Had very costly turn-overs
4. Went away from what got them the Lead.

Listen folks you heard it here first and you will continue to hear it from me…This Team is going to win a lot of games this yr. And they most definitely not the worse roster in the NFL. You can kill all that talk.

Aurther and Pease just need to tweek a few thing here and there make a few minor calibrations and boom these boys taking off off!

You already see it…it’s there. A few corrections here and there and we on lil guy.

Not happy about the end but I rather it go down now, fix it and dominate the rest of the seasons on prayerfully on into the playoffs. We fix our issues and I don’t see a team we can’t compete and beat. This is a really good team and any person that knows the game sees it

The only way we can go is up is how I see it. 4 sacks in 1 game is a huge step. Koo played lights out and shouldn’t have had to be put in the :02 situation. The O line stepped up in the run and passing. Aside from the situational play calling, which will vary every game, Pitts should get no less than 10 targets a game and the conservative 4th quarter secondary made us look scared. I still love the direction we’re going with.

You were scared to run it on 4th and 1 be more aggressive

I went back and watched Lindstrom dude is a beast !!!

Not happy with the initial interview after the game but coach came back and owned it today. Humble and just a much better look overall. That’s a coach who I can be proud of. Some low points but I believe that this team can succeed and Smith is a smart guy so I really hope he gets there. Night and day interviews

Prevent defense is not being aggressive. Either Smith is afraid to admit they screwed up or they did it on purpose. You don’t keep a team down for 3 quarters to play loose and allow them to come back. Starting your second-string defense linemen in the second half is not being aggressive. Ignoring your number one pick tightened for the majority of the game is not being aggressive. The Saints were handing you the game and to refused. The real truth will come out in the next games. If you play the same 4th quarter plan against Seattle with a big lead how will you make excuses for that?

I had a moment to calm down about this game lol y’all have set the bar and expectations high though. Now we all know what your capable of!

Arthur and Pees coached a great game. Still have mistakes to clean up, we have to learn to go for those 4th and 1s in situations like that in the 4th other than that I love how our team looked and played. I promise y’all Arthur and Pees will learn from this

Going into the season the O-line was communicated as the big question. In yesterday’s game the Offensive line was very, very good. The run blocking was awesome; the pass protection excellent. Did Mariota ever get sacked? Once? I don’t think so. And our lowly ranked defensive line put 4 sacks on the allegedly superior Saints O-line.

And that’s the 2d factor: the Saints were supposed to dominate in this game and they did not. They “eeked out” a win. The Falcons were very competitive and dominated for three quarters till things changed in the 4th. I’m not sure what they changed, but A.J. Terrell was smoked by Michael Thomas of the Saints. Jarvis also had critical catches in the 4th qtr. Our lead wasn’t enough, and the Saints were able to make up the difference.

In retrospect, the Falcons were predicted to lose this game, and sure, that happened, but it didn’t happen as predicted. The Saints are widely touted as a vastly superior team in which the only x-factor was their rookie head coach, Dennis Allen, known for defensive expertise, and he had failed when with the Raiders. The Falcons dominated the game, but the Saints found a way, Winston to Thomas; Winston to Jarvis, that quickly put the Saints in a position to make up the difference.

There is no team that wins consistently unless they drag the opponent all 4 quarters. All 4 quarters! 10 yards off my football. Jam, Jam, Jam… to win the rush needs help. Arthur, fix this now before it become habit… a bad one. Go Falcons.

We don’t have a lot of things but one thing we do have is the best kicker in football, Koo is hands down the best there is.

Lack of execution on 3rd and short, and red zone, and people forget how good MT is !! AJ had good coverage on both 2td passes. Gotta give credit to the aints the made adjustments on the OL
