Bears have scored 33 on this same Pats team and took the foot off the gas, scored 29 against the Cowboys who have one of the best D's in the league, and have 32 today against the Phins..games not over yet. There were some people in a thread this week saying we are much better than the Bears lol!!

I assure you Ballard regrets letting Frank & Carson’s people finesse him into trading for Wentz when he wanted to move up for Fields.  Fields & Taylor running the read option would’ve been deadly.

And Nelson, Smith, and Kelly with him.  Do u think anyone would notice if we used liquid paper and got rid of Q's signature on that new contract? It's worth a try.

Nelson isn’t fully healthy. He lost strength in his legs

Cowherd once said your team shouldn’t struggle on the side of the ball your head coach specializes in. 
 

This offense looks vanilla and unable to adapt. Not once have we manipulated the pocket by calling rollouts to help prevent pressure and give the QB a chance. It seems we just keep trying the same thing hoping that we don’t have the same results.

Well can't possibly get worse.You can't wait till season over to fire people.  Season over now so start changes and maybe something positive could come of it

 

I prefer to fire (Reich/Strausser) now...

And then evaluate players. 

If they don't respond... cut/waive/trade...

Sam just a threw a TD pass, almost everyone in here wanted him to play. Matt Ryan has to be laughing his balls off about now. 1-2-3 Cancun homer simpson beach GIF

He's got the last laugh honestly. Take the 20+M and keep your limbs intact on the sideline.

you have  some deep delusions about matt ryan .   lost the ball twenty times averaged 13 points a game but you're convinced he would take the colts to the playoffs with this horrible line .   two things can be true at once all three QBs on the roster just stink

Not with this Oline. We can’t get ANYTHING going. 
 

Peyton Manning and Tom Brady would have been DESTROYED behind this Oline. % Brady may still have been married if he came here to play instead of Tampa - he would’ve been injured for the season by the 3rd game.

Almost looks like they opened up the offense for Fields to use his legs like Lamar and take whatever they get from the pass offense that comes with it. On the flip side, Eberflus’ D lost Roquan Smith and Robert Quinn and are giving up lots of points

    • I wasn’t being serious.  That’s why I included the smiley face at the end.
    • Ballard has been saying it for years that the trenches are where it’s at. Doesn’t matter what era of football has been around, you control the line of scrimmage and you control the game. He has accomplished it on the O side of the ball but has tried for years to get a DL that can do the same. I think we will see it come together this year and into the next two. 
    • Harrison, Cross, Blackmon and Thomas is not a terrible group. Someone obviously needs to step up and play beside Blackmon at his level. I think there is enough ability with those four to roll with them into training camp and see what happens. 
    • Pass rush.     That is the key.  Control the line.  Make him make plays.  Make him uncomfortable.  Hey, if he Stroud beats us with his talent and we’re making him complete these great plays, then chalk it up to the game.  But we can’t allow him (and any other qb) to be comfortable and pick us apart.     I hope we see our front 4 provide that pressure because that will make everything else much easier.  I honestly believe we have the corners for our scheme in Moore, Brents, and jones.  But we don’t have the pressure.  Or the FS unfortunately.  Our corners jobs in this scheme isn’t to run step for step with wide receivers.  It’s to stick with them and prevent YAC.  Moore is the best nickel in the game, Jones was one of the best corners PERIOD in preventing YAC, and I think a healthy Brents will be good too.
    • Agreed.  After this last off season, I kind of give Ballard a pass on taking long to find a certified DE (if Latu pans out).  Like QBs, they don’t grow on trees.  You either have to draft one high, get lucky with one in the draft, or sign one in FA for loads of cash.  All I can ask for him as GM to do is try.  He hasn’t been perfect by any means but at least he’s tried with the DE position specifically.   i also think Shane being here has changed his thinking.  Before, Ballard might’ve went with Turner due to the higher upside.  But maybe Shane differs and wants proven players.     Either way, I’m glad we possibly have our stud at a premium position for the next 5 years at a cheap rate.     And gotta thank the Falcons for us landing Latu.  Lol
