This is 100% the reason. These guys just building narratives, trying to make stories and content. Not to mention next to no pre season reps. Steelers Defence ruined the game. Also falcons defence was holding their end of the hype.
The Falcons' loss rests solely on Raheem Morris. Not having the starters play in preseason, where you have a new OC and a new QB was a ridiculously poor decision. Poor game plan and lack of adjustments offensively lost them the game. Cousins has no chance to succeed. Maybe the explanation is they set him up to fail. Maybe once these first three games, which is the most difficult stretch on the schedule, is over and they're 0-3 then they'll put in Penix. Make Kirk look bad and no one will question the motive.
Not playing starters in preseason isnt Raheem Morris decision although he will make it seem like it’s his. Arthur Blank is against it. Former HC Dan Reeves believes he got fired for playing Mike Vick in preseason and got injured and was out for the season.
Steelers "D" is for real this season! Even with the refs playing for them, they still got shut down. Hope young Bo Nix is eating plenty of Wheaties this week....gonna need some extra intestinal fortitude.
Kaleb McGary is not good enough to expect him to block TJ, and KP is not good enough of a blocking TE to get a good chip on someone as good as TJ. The answer should have been quick passes, screens, dump-offs, and simply going to the opposite side of the field. ATL ran pretty well and couldve kept running considering it was a 1-score game all game. There were many answers, and i can only hope that Raheem sees all of these corrections and moves forward with the gameplan, especially against Philly on Monday night. If ATL looks the same on Monday as they did last week, they will get slaughtered and will have an equally difficuly time scoring.
Lombardi hates the Steelers it comes as no surprise he figures Atlantas unprepared and not the Steelers are the better team... he's one of those jagoffs that always puts Cleveland ahead of us praising Deshawn Watson and Miles Garrett
That lineman rule where they can't get that extra step back on the line anymore is gonna be bigger than people think. Watt, Garrett, Parsons and the other elite pass rushers are gonna eat crazy this year... Good to see them throw a bone the defenses way.
It depends on what team it is. They allowed 74 on KC false start about 50% of the time last week with 1 and 2 step movement before the ball was snapped, just like they did last year.
This Belichick noise is ridiculous. Lombardi may like Bill, but where did he lie about the Falcons?? Raheem's offense was unprepared. The Right O-line got murdered and Kirk cant move. Recipe for disaster. 10 pts is a no-go. What did Bill not getting hired have to do with that ?? Defense played "lights out".
I can't stand when teams see how the game is going and just play scared all game. My Jets did it on defense all night against SF, and the Falcons did the same thing on offense.
Y’all gotta realize the nfl is so different now a days you can’t practice like you used to be able to ota’s ain’t the same mini camp is weak they don’t play during the preseason and everyone expects them to come out week 1 firing on all cylinders it takes most people time to get in football shape.
Or we should stop assuming because Brady played past 40 (not very well mind you) that any other QB can play at a high level past 35 especially following a major leg of knee injury.
That was an ugly first game for the first time OC for the Falcons. You have to double team on McGary's side on passing downs no matter who is lined up across from him. He's been terrible at pass blocking since his rookie year, the only way he improves (much like Kirk) is with play action.
As a Steelers fan I think this is all just a week 1 over reaction. TJ wasn’t even DPOY! There is no need to double team him. Just leave him 1 on 1 and get better. Save the double teams for DPOY 😂👍
Using K1 and MHJ as examples after the Bills held Tyreek Hill to 24 yards is pretty silly. Lombardi still cant help himself with the casual takes. Remember when he said the Cardinals wouldnt play K1 last year? Bro stays taking Ls
Kyler Murray: Plays okay [against a perennial SB Contender] | Team scores *28 Points* Michael Lombardi¹: ' _Kyler Murray is doomed. He's just not competent at the QB position_ ' Kirk Cousins: Plays poorly [against a .500 ballclub] | Team scores *10 Points* Michael Lombardi¹: ' _It was everybody else's fault (ie, coach, lineman, etc_ .)' ¹ Michael Lombardi = former NFL GM. Result: this was merely another example of how the Football World has always evaluated/treated players in a *disparate manner* ( *28 points vs 10 points* ).
I didn't watch the Cardinals game so can't speak to that, but if you watched the Falcon's game it was pretty clear that Cousins was either still injured which limited his mobility or the coaching staff just set him up for absolute failure. There's like 4 QBs in the history of the game who would have been able to make something out of that situation. The dude had less than 3 seconds to throw per drop back, and they kept calling developing pass plays out of the shotgun. It was insane.
@@0-Elias-0 now show the quotes from Cam Newton about Brock Purdy. Oh wait never mind, that doesn't fit your race bait narrative so you won't acknowledge it
@@evangelionl0vr857 o.p is just race baiting.

@@jerodmayoINCA ring?! Stop it Reid was a winning HC before Mahomes (12-4 season before drafting him) while Belichick has 1 career playoff win and zero division titles in 11 seasons without Brady not even comparable
Belichicks issues were personnel and GM related. He couldn’t evaluate offensive talent. He could find all types of defensive talent. He can still coach
That's Raheem Morris. I'm so tired of hearing what a great guy he is all while having a roughly 33% win rate as a head coach. As an Atlanta fan, the years he was in Tampa were easy wins for the Falcons. Now he's our coach. I knew it was a bad hire. Look at the insanity of the decision to hire him. They could have had Belichick, one of the most successful coaches in history, or you can hire a proven loser/bust of a coach. They chose the latter 😡
The Falcons OL has been and is massively overrated. Their high pff grades were due to the weakest schedule in the league and pff grades for OL being terrible in general.
Steelers defense is also top tier to be fair
Yeah I think all their possession’s in the second half were 3 and out if not sooner.
True but we play Philly and the Chiefs next, it won’t be easier
This is 100% the reason. These guys just building narratives, trying to make stories and content. Not to mention next to no pre season reps.

As a falcons fan the performance was embarrassing
As a Falcons fan, I expect nothing less...
It truly was we never made any adjustments to cover kirk we played great defense though
At least you still have super bowl winning GM Terry Fontenot
@@funkdoc94😂😂😂
As a Vikings fan, all I have to say is "sorry".....
To be fair, Zac Robinson's play calling was atrocious. No preparation for pressure. No adjustments.
Lombardi hates the Falcons
Yeah. He's not wrong but he is very bias against the falcons and it has a lot to do with rich McKay 😂😂

That seems to be a trend with many analysts. Steelers have been beating up on their favorite teams for the last 20 years so it makes sense 🤷🏼♂️
So the oc decides to never double team TJ???
No adjustments
C'mon Man
Lombardi’s wig offends me as a bald man.
It’s McGary and he’s the worst tackle in the league.
TJ Watt spent the entire game in the backfield. He was unblockable
That lineman rule where they can't get that extra step back on the line anymore is gonna be bigger than people think. Watt, Garrett, Parsons and the other elite pass rushers are gonna eat crazy this year... Good to see them throw a bone the defenses way.

Just a reminder this guy took Barkevious Mingo, Johnny Manziel, and Justin Gilbert with his 3 first round picks as a GM. Talk about unprepared
Ray farmer was the general manager in 2014 for the browns not Lombardi

Or we should stop assuming because Brady played past 40 (not very well mind you) that any other QB can play at a high level past 35 especially following a major leg of knee injury.
Huh? Brady won a superbowl in his 40s. How is that not playing well?
Brady didn’t play well in his 40s? Were u in a coma from 2020-2023?
Brady is not gonna ever be the only QB that plays until he's 45.
The QBs are pedestrians.. QBs are all young and over rated
Lombardi never disappoints. Guy brings 🔥 every time. .

Falcons need a RT. No QB will do good with McGary at RT
It's TJ Watt lol. McGary is great, he was great tonight as well.
Everyone remembers how upset Bill Lombardi was when Bill B did not get the coaching job.
Atrocious coaching debut for Coach Rah and his crew.
As a Steelers fan I think this is all just a week 1 over reaction.
TJ wasn’t even DPOY!
There is no need to double team him. Just leave him 1 on 1 and get better.
Save the double teams for DPOY 😂👍
I think the Falcons will play better this week.
🤣🤣🤣 yea ok 👍
PFF doesn’t count chip blocks as double teams , joke of an organization and people take them serious 😂
Our OC is to blame point blank
Using K1 and MHJ as examples after the Bills held Tyreek Hill to 24 yards is pretty silly. Lombardi still cant help himself with the casual takes. Remember when he said the Cardinals wouldnt play K1 last year? Bro stays taking Ls
The Falcons should've kept Arthur Smith!
Yea but y’all dumb fans wanted him fired🤣🤣 karma 101
Kyler Murray: Plays okay [against a perennial SB Contender] | Team scores *28 Points*
Michael Lombardi¹: ' _Kyler Murray is doomed. He's just not competent at the QB position_ '

There's a reason he hasn't had a real football job in over a decade

He is Belichick’s fan boy, is pissed he didn’t get the job. Falcons were smart to not hire Belichick, who is not the same guy without Brady.
Andy Reid never had a ring before mahomes, it’s true for everyone. You NEED a good QB to win in football, don’t matter how good of a coach you are

100% right Lombo been hating on the Falcons non stop since they passed on Belichick
Belichick won two rings without Brady 🤣@@davis2k1234
Belichicks issues were personnel and GM related. He couldn’t evaluate offensive talent. He could find all types of defensive talent. He can still coach
Falcons hiding the fact that their QB isn’t healthy yet and he can’t move.
150 million for a guy with 0 post season success, surprised when he gets demolished against good defenses, EVEN WITH ALL HIS WEAPONS
Evidence coaches and owner's can be dumber than a bag of rocks
One lucky playoff win.

Falcons are cooked. Saints are ballin, they will win the division
I love how Lombo trashes ATL every appearance.
He ain’t lying tho.. Falcons will go 0-5 🤣🤣
Sports Media must not watch any Football Game Film. This was a lazy take.
The Falcons are better off putting Michael Penix in as starter. Cousins has a flimsy arm and can’t drive the ball.
Kirk Cousins enough said

How 'bout now?

Turkey neck the falcons won
Nah. Just overhyped.
😂😂😂 idc nfl 👎🏾
