The DET loss, IMO, guarantees Mike Smith is gone. I've been a huge supporter of what he's done. But that 2nd half was very indicative of what we've seen from Falcons the last two season. Bad coaching, poor play, total collapse on a national stage.

It's...time.

Sadly, Mike Nolan has to go as well. I do not blame him, he's a really good coach D-Coordinator. But we've been pathetic under his guidance the last two years.

We face Tampa Bay today.
After blowing them out earlier in the year I have no idea what to expect today.

We're going 5-3 in the second half, 6-0 in the division overall, and winning the division with a 7-9 record.

And this was the start of our resurgence. We win, Saints lose!

Tomorrow at Carolina.
I know it's difficult to predict but we should win.

And just like that we are leading our division with a 4-6 record lol

Well done, Adnin. Your faith is being rewarded! Keep up the positive vibes!

If not for that debacle in the UK, we'd be 5-5 right now with all the momentum in the world.

Bring on the BROWNS!!!

Browns just came off of a home defeat where they scored 7 points. We get them at home, and Josh Gordon is coming off of this suspension. Hoping he'll be rusty, and that we can pull out our first out of division win while the Saints lose at home to the Ravens. The 3 games after next week are awful with the Cardinals, @Green Bay, and vs. the Steelers.

It was ugly, but we managed to win.
Big thanks to Cincy for taking care of New Orleans for us.

We're staying alive by forcing Cleveland to kick field goals in the red zone. Looking like this one will come down to the wire.

Truant with the late INT!

Post #53 » by **Hawk Eye** » Sun Nov 23, 2014 9:11 pm

Absolutely ridiculous. Mike smith is the reason we lost this game when he called that timeout on our last drive. I can't wait for him to go. Don't let the door hit you on the way out Mike.

Blank should honestly fire Smith tomorrow after that.

I doubt Blank will do anything soon, as pissed as we are.

It's looking like the saints will hold their lead and knock off the steelers today. We are going to need everyone to step up today if we want to hold onto our 1st place spot in the division. And yes that includes you too Mike Smith.

Great win vs. the team with the best record in the NFL. Defense forced turnovers, Offense drove the ball but left a lot of pts on the board. We have to score TDs in the redzone if we wanna beat Green Bay on Monday Night, Aaron Rodgers will make us pay if we don't. That being said, if we win next week I think we'll win out.

Good game today. We needed this one with the saints winning today as well. Stanton looked awful. Played like a 3rd string QB. Julio Jones literally made his match up Peterson look like a CB from a JV high school team.

We can't figure anything out... NO loses 3 in a row and home and wins at Pitt.

Pittsburgh is overrated: lost to both the Jets and the Bucs. We should be able to beat them at home.
