KD in CA Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Does this Falcons offense remind anyone of the Bills 1990 offense? Yup. Hope this team didn't peak a game early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) putting up!! glad to see someone new in the SB. Also glad to see Matty ice take the next step, announcers said he put in extra work this offseason to hone his craft, something our players should take note of.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Awesome! So pumped for the Falcons and the city. Atlanta has a good shot at to beat the Pats because they do so much great. Give BB two weeks though and he is dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCbillsfan Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hard to believe that Atlanta interviewed Rex just 2 years ago and went with Quinn. I kept thinking where would Atlanta stand today if they hired Rex instead of Quinn. Also, Atlanta gave me some more hope with the McDermott hire. A first time HC who was a Defensive Coordinator who has turned things around in 2 years. The Bills need to solve their qb situation but McDermott does have some players to build around.

Boatdrinks Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Yup. Hope this team didn't peak a game early. The '90 Bills didn't peak too early. They just decided to pass against a defense that was begging them to run against it. Thrum only got something like 18 carries. He gets 30 and they win hands down. Outsmarted themselves .

dezertbill Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Who thinks Matt Ryan can get over the hump? If he can get by Rogers then Big Ben or Darth Brady he changes the way he's viewed forever. Opportunity calls Atlanta, do you accept the charges? Honestly if GB had made it they would have gotten creamed. Too many injuries. If anyone had s chance it's the Falcons. That offense is the real deal. But after what Belicheck did the the K Gun in Giants/Bills SB he can put a stop to Kyle Shanahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Dwight Freeny, that defense is mostly 1st and 2nd year players. That defense is going to be very good next year +. Falcons could be a very scary team moving forward.

Falcons could be a very scary team moving forward. And as was said in the broadcast - yards given up is not a true indicator because often teams get behind and start taking shots and the Falcons can afford with big leads to play bend and don't break. They remind me a bit of the Saints defense their Superbowl year, bend don't break and generate turnovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Does this Falcons offense remind anyone of the Bills 1990 offense? Didn't think that, but a friend suggested to me that this might be The Greatest Show on Turf Part 2. The only thing missing is a stud second WR for the Falcons - Julio is an absolute beast, but Sanu or Gabriel don't scare me as much as Torry Holy & Isaac Bruce did.

HT02 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 First time I've watched the Falcons this year but he sure looked like the real deal yesterday. One more hill to climb and I hope he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 the falcons defense is young but some high draft picks...1st and 2nd rounders. not that it correlates to success but they did a great job of stifling rodgers. i hope quinn is reaching out to pete carroll or coughlin for some advice.

boyst Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Packer's secondary is "shut out." Exceptional example of how zone coverage can be lethally damaging for the covering team. Granted, not all quarterbacks can exploit it like Ryan is but this is truly a pathetic performance.it as very similar to what the panthers have done but with worse players. Packers had no chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 ryan is gonna have to put up a perfect game to beat the pats. It will be more about the Falcons defense. Can they generate pressure with 4, and hit Brady repeatedly? About once every third drop back , that's what it will take. If he stands back there unmolested the game will be over. He needs to be constantly hit, which he hates, to throw him slightly off his game. Then the ATL defense must tackle well, giving up little YAC. This will have a bigger impact than if Matt Ryan is perfect, which he won't need to be to get a victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The Falcons will need 35 points to have a shot. Nobody can drop passes, especially TD passes or it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
