so that is what happens when you keep running the ball on the patriots

Good win today... closer than it ought to have been, but I was encouraged by the defense.

Defense was flying around pretty good
Offense didn't look great. I'll give the group another game or 2 before turning on Sark

Yeah I had same reaction.
Glad Chicago can't catch when they needed it.
Where's Julio? I get the decoy thing, but c'mon.
Hooper looks like a beast once he has the ball.
Running game was suspect.
Defense showed some good things but some bad tackling too.

I'm not concerned about the offense.
Chicago's defense (led by UGA standout Leonard Floyd) is better than people think, first game on the road, etc
The defense is what's going to determine how far we go this season, and I'm cautiously optimistic that we've improved on that end.
Big game Sunday night at MBS, early pole position in the NFC on the line.

My concern isn't with the personnel on offense; my concern is sark vs kyle

Vic Beasley out a month :/
Schraeder left the game with a concussion, I haven't heard if he's in the protocol or if he can go Sunday

I'll take 3-1 going into the bye.

3-1 isn't that bad considering 3 of our games were coinflips

Ok time to lower expectations. Lose to Dolphins at home after bye. 0 points in the 2nd half. Complete joke.

I have a buddy who flew to Boston for the Patriots game.
His texts to me during the game were not happy ones.
Jet sweep on 4th and goal from the 1?!?!?!?
Not encouraged by the Sark era from what I've seen so far

We suck again
How does Julio drop that
Two games back of New Orleans... basically have to sweep them this year

Hope you guys can answer this for me.
Did the Falcons ever give an offer to Lafleur to take over OC from his QB coaching role? Or did we just let him go to LA Rams free? Or did he turn down the OC job from us?
Did we really think Sark was a better candidate than him?

I like that Sark is embracing the "hey, why don't we just throw it to Julio every down?"
Big game this week vs. Minnesota.
I still say we have to sweep the Saints to take the division, but I think we could, especially if Lattimore is out for much longer

Also LOVE LOVE LOVE the all-black throwbacks
really wish we'd wear them more than once a year

Tough loss to the Vikings today. That defense is legit, but I'd give Matt a C for his performance, missed a bunch of throws.
This loss basically guarantees we won't get a first round bye. We probably need to go at least 3-1 in our last 4 division games to get in now, preferably sweeping the Saints.
It would also be helpful if the Eagles beat the Seahawks tonight to keep us in the 6 seed

Eagles fan here - put a hundo down on ATL last night at 25-1 to win it all. Go beat the Rams and then if you take down the mighty Nick Foles I'll still have some skin in the game. Goff can not get there before Wentz. Make it happen.

I dont think beating the rams in LA is going to be nearly as easy as everyone is talking about

who is suggesting that beating the rams will be easy? We're huge underdogs.

If we can somehow beat the Rams, then as the 6 seed we're guaranteed to play a very beatable Philly team in round 2 though...
