Just in Atlanta

Maybe he could've denigrated females? IDK. Either way, it's pure fluff.

No excuses. There's good and bad. Don't be so black-and-white. He's clearly not elite. But he needs weapons. That's a fact - whether you realize it or not.

He isn't "terrible," as one poster said, but he clearly cannot make quick decisions and anticipate routes. He's got to wait for the perfect hole. On one play, he had a clear six, but he waited too long because he was scared to throw it. In the NFL, this is not sustainable. On the positive side, with the exception of the last play, he doesn't give the ball up. He is extremely mobile, but I don't know why he didn't do it today. His offensive weapons, sans McCoy, are the worst in the league. Zay Jones thus far looks really bad. And we're without Matthews and Clay. Last year, he had one of the best deep balls in the league. I don't think there's been one all year. This is a direct result of the way below par wide receivers we have. And, maybe, the offensive coordinator. Bottom line, today: There were points to be had, but he didn't seize it. However, not too many quarterbacks could've done a lot with these "weapons."

From one extreme to the other: We go from a blow hard to this fluff. He didn't say one single thing of substance. Nothing. These press conference are a complete waste of time.

Wait, you can make personnel changes?

What does the Flat Earth Society think about this?

I hear the Summer's Eve brand is looking for a new pitch man. That's should clear his name.

So now that the reporter has been outed as saying something bigoted four years ago, now all we need is for a Navajo Indian to be offended and then disparage Mexican food or something. Then, the Circle of PC Outrage will be complete.

EJ Slotheyes.

Kyle Freaking Orton.

Tyrod threw for 180 yards Sunday. 180! Our run game has tried, but has been bottled up by very good defenses. West Coast or not, this a run first offense. You're delusional if you think losing McCoy - when no viable starting back up that I know of - wouldn't be big.

Well what happens if he slips on a mat or something? We are a run first offense. McCoy is (still) an electric runner and a gamechanger. Is this even up to debate?

A whole lot of super sensitive fans here. It's a valid question. McCoy is our offense.

He's a snappy dresser to boot.

Of course they are. This winning is not sustainable without Matthews. Who are we left with? Very weak group.

Atlanta is a nice place to live. I live in Midtown and love it. Not sure what your experience was, but there's a lot more to Atlanta than downtown.

I've changed my mind - but why stop at the Wall of Fame? Four words for you: Kyle Orton Memorial Field. Make it so, fans.

This.

Hell no. They system got us to 9-7. The guy had no desire to play football. You could see it in his eyes and demeanor. Seriously? That, and he played ONE year. On a larger note, how pathetic is this when fans are calling for a wall of fame slot for the only QB who happened to be QBing the one year out of two we have a winning record in 17 years.

I'll be there.

Agreed. Ready for this drama to end already. Going to the Falcons game and hoping the protests are at a minimum.

As for the headline in this thread, Jim Kelly wasn't "disrespected." He thought McCoy's actions were disrespectful and he lost respect for McCoy.

One man's trash...

His schemes do seem pedestrian, but it certainly worked Sunday. What is the prevailing opinion on why he was a bad OC?

Got tickets. Can't wait. Last game I saw here, we started Brian Brohm (!), our third-string QB, and lost 31-3. Since then, every game I've seen live we've won, so I'm fully expecting that trend to continue.
