I for one am quite pleased that Arthur is working hard to get fired

[–] Cautrica1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s not like Taylor heinicke was lighting it up or anything lol. Seems like a lot of you people don’t even watch falcons games (I sure as hell don’t)

We really should have tried harder to get Lamar this offseason

Tank manager Ridder going to help them secure a star RB in the draft

So is Arthur smith getting canned after this season?

Is this another symptom of 'soon to be fired coach ' disease?

Looks like the Saints will win the South.

Have we considered just not using a QB at all?

[–] Ganjake@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I hear Joe Flacco may be available.

[–] hemingways-lemonade@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You joke but just wait until they trade for Justin Fields in the off season.

Oh man I hope you fall into an open sewer.

Can’t wait for the Falcons to not draft a QB again and be in this mid off all of next year too!

[–] Thecobs@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They need to draft another explosive weapon to be a decoy so things really open up for Jonu Smith

...

Why though?

Heinicke posted more consistent stats than Ridder and he turned the ball over less. What did he do to lose it? Why did you even hand him the job if you're just going to tear it away again?

[–] akron28@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Arthur Smith ladies and gentleman.

If Cousins leaves Minnesota the Falcons need to make a big offer to get him.

A good QB would completely change the trajectory of their team.

Maybe we can sucker them into a 2nd or 3rd for Fields in the offseason.

[–] indecentbob@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Knowing Poles we’d somehow GIVE a 2nd in that trade

[–] Head-Editor-905@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fields ain’t getting close to a 2nd lol. Maybe a 5th
