I wasn't able to watch, but going off stats...

Seems like if Mariota played Falcons probably win? Not that it matters really, and long-term Mariota isn't our #1, but just for this one game it seems like he would have made a difference.
But I didn't watch so I might be wrong.

Ridder never threw a pick, we ran the ball well.

He seemed to have better connection with Drake. Our D needs help.

Only giving up 21 points isn't awful in today's game...

and didn't the DC get hurt in pregame? Was he able to come back and call the game?
I saw on twitter some saying that Ridder threw multiple balls that should have been picked and his stats are pretty awful anyways. Seems like a viable passing game to go along with that running game would have probably led to more points, but maybe not.
I feel like the team is just so injured right now there's not much they can do on either side of the ball.

He went to hospital, was released for trip home.

D gave up 14 in like the first 3 minutes. I don't believe Mariota would have done any better, in fact worse. Plus he is done so it doesn't matter anyway.

I'm not saying the defense was perfect, and they started awful but they only gave up one touchdown for the last three qtrs and overall only gave up 21 points on the road. I think we'd probably take that pregame.
The problem is this offense can't score. We scored 18pts, 16pts, and 13pts in the last three games and that ain't gonna cut it.
How in the world did we beat the 49ers and score 28 points against them, lol?

Why do you think Falcons D is so good?

If we're relying on that to score points, we in trouble.***

Creating turnovers helps.

Also not giving up a ton of yards in the air and on the ground.

I'm not arguing against defense being important...
Dec 18, 2022, 4:35 PM

or that the falcons even have a good defense (we don't), I'm just talking about today's game where it seems it was lack of offense that was worse (even if just slightly) as has been the case in the last few games.

True, and I hate that he just left the team...

still doesn't mean his absence (in whatever capacity) due to his benching didn't have an effect on the game.

Drake's fault

nother rookie. Also, how about Allgeir's season? Not too far behind William Andrews rookie #'s.

Certainly have some bright spots like Allgeier's season
Dec 18, 2022, 5:11 PM

and this season was always going to be a rebuilding year so I'm not that disappointed. Hopefully, we can get and stay healthy next year and keep building on those bright spots (and hope that Ridder progresses).
