Nothing about this is surprising. Wentz basically has a career 3:1 TD ratio and is a better QB than Minshew.

Chiefs refusing to sign a practically begging Deandre Hopkins for 13m/yr has to be one of the dumbest fucking moves of all time.

A good qaurterback matters so much more in the rz because of how condensed the field gets and how much less time you have to make a decision as a result of the reduced spacing. Plays are also limited due to this as well and high level accuracy as a QB is imperative as well as quick processing and reaction time. Running the ball becomes much more difficult in the rz.

The defense isn’t that good. It is a bunch of mostly vets past their primes and no true actual difference makers at any position besides maybe AJ, which even then feels like a stretch to say. They are bottom half in points allowed. Bottom 10 in turnovers. Given up the 4th most passing TDs. I’ll give them they have been good against the run, but they are not good against the pass at all. They are 29th in pass rush win rate. On Oct 16th they were the 29th ranked pass defense based on DVOA. Not sure what it is now, but I know it isnt good.

Youre not listening if you don’t think people are not complaining about London/Pitts/Bijan usage. There has been one game with bad play calling at the goalline on 3 straight possessions and people want to blanket apply it to the entire season now.

Slamming your rb into the ground as a rookie on a bad team just to MAYBE win the division only to get steam rolled in a playoff game is pointless. Last I checked, Smith isnt the GM so why are we blaming him for Bijan at 8? He was arguably the best player available at 8, and was without a doubt outside of Carter. Most rookie don’t get slammed year 1. Hell, Carter rarely plays over 50% of the snaps.

Only Falcons fans thought ATL was supposed to compete this year. Everyone else knew this is the Saints division and that ATL would be just good enough to not be a bottom barrel team while playing a cake schedule.

Smith hung 28 on the Vikings with Heinicke (who threw a pick 6 btw) and somehow it is his fault and his offensive play calling/scheme’s fault bc his defense and DC let Dobbs hang 3 tuddies on them.

It is so annoying. Especially bc it all started bc of baby fantasy players/analysts. His offense is performing perfectly fine for what he has under center. The Falcons have bottom barrel QB play and a trash defense. Idk what people expect out of him tbh.

Both Pitts and London play a ton. Pitts ranks 9th in route % at te. He just has QBs who cant hit him or dont want to throw the routes he runs. Smith runs low adot yac, which is also what he excels at. Ive never seen so many people complain about a player in Jonnu getting touches when he has legitimately been good.

Could Bijan get more touches, sure. But why would a team grind their top 10 draft pick into the ground as a rookie on a bad team that isnt anywhere close to competing yet?
