Patience.
We are going to be up-and-down this season, but getting GREAT exp. for the young players...a lot to build on and from as we grow.
Need to see consistency & growth developing by end of season though...
I'm doing a daily youtube video called Rip of the Day where I open some a pack of 'collectible' cards each day.
So far feel like I've gotten progressively worse each day as I try to figure out lighting, audio, & format...but REALLY hoping it's all just part of the learning curve
I don't 100% agree with this b/c I don't think we got 'outcoached' per se.
I think the game got away from us early, Penix had his worst game ever, & we don't have a roster with a lot of "Plan B" or "Plan C" options right now.
Does show we still have a ways to go b4 we contend.
I don't know anything about Josh Downs...but...I know getting more 'First Downs' would be really great for the Falcons!
We get 2 of the 3 and I'm legit excited for a potential playoff run...and at a min, a very bright future.
...right now though lets just win the damn division for once...and be able to build from there.
I take this as a positive.
Find the hits AND the misses quick.
The worst possible thing is to have 'maybe we can develop' on your depth chart.
Keep rotating through those open spots until you find the hits. More shots == more hits.
A lot of the #Falcons top UDFAs from the summer have already been cut loose:
James Brockermeyer: released
Jack Velling: released
Carlos Allen Jr.: released
Cash Jones: released
Other than Vinny Anthony (plus Strand and DeWalt on the 53) the 2026 UDFA class has some hits, but mostly misses.
As much as it continues to feel like the sky is falling...there are only 18 teams with a better record than the Atlanta Falcons right now.
9 in the NFC...4 of which are only 1 game ahead.
So - yes it's an uphill battle from here but it's FAR from over!!!
I've been doing a 'Rip of the Day' series on YouTube for a little over a week now.
Mostly ripping Marvel Unlimited Cards, One Piece Cards, and various Football Cards so far -- b/c those are the types of cards I personally like/collect.
Latest video link in thread...
Latest 'Rip of the Day' -> youtu.be/Yc2Fe25WZdo
Would love feedback, comments, and of course subs.
...oh and I don't really sell stuff but if I pull something you like/want let me know & maybe I'll send it to you for free.
Finally put up a few more shelves to display some of my favorite players & cards around a few spots in the basement.
Most of these are worthless cards, just ones I like.
I switch them out randomly just b/c it's fun to go through & put up other cards I like every so often.
Atlanta Falcons floor is 'mid' & ceiling is 'playoffs'.
That's my personal opinion.
We have too much talent (coaching & players) to think we'll be bottom of the league.
You can also stop acting like our QB options aren't at least "mid" (maybe not stars but not worst-in-league)
