wow I can't believe we kicked that FG with Heinz Fields history

We better hope our D gets some turnovers

This half has made me lose respect for Arians. I gained some respect for his play calling in the preseason, but some of the calls today have been just terrible.

Dixon needs to learn some audibles over halftime, he can't change the play from run to pass when falcons put 9 guys in the box.

arians has called a damn good game.

dixon just needs to get the butterfiles out and convert some 3rd downs with his arm.

jeff reed missed fg is a huge 6 point swing.

If they go up 14 points yes you make a change then.

Agreed

damn. i didnt give the boo birds enough credit. looks like theyre making progress.


tie game.

dixon should be getting into a groove, halftime adjustements, defense a split second away from destroying matt ryan or an int.

things are looking good.

although my dislike for arians is palpable....i have to agree. arians has called a good game, to a point. more downfield throws(or any) needs to happen in the 2nd half.

i think the try for a 55 yd fg at the end of the half, with little time left, was a mistake.

Fox just said Big Snack is questionable to return with a pulled hamstring.

Ben checks and audibles more times than most quarterbacks.. what games do you watch Or atleast pretends to audible to screw with the defense

All a quarterback has to do is scream out some random words "crossfeet chicken chicago chicago" move around, point at a reciever, defense will quickly recover and take men out of the box, and then the running play would actually gain some yards
