Ridder benched

Ridder BENCHED!!! HEINEKE IN!!

[Bronco Billy]

I’m not sure Bijan is startable at this point. Odd usage, bad offense whatever.

Amazing to have weapons on O like ATL does and to have such horrendous coaching that nullifies them. What are the odds Smith is fired in the next 2-4 games?

I'm curious if the Falcons make a trade for Tannehill after this.

Smith used AJB, Corey Davis and Derrick Henry at TEN. It's not like he's incapable of utilizing the talent on his roster.. issue seems to be that Ridder is severely limiting this offense. For some reason he only plays like an NFL QB at home.

I don’t know how you blame Ridder when Allgeier and his 3.5 ypa is getting as much work as Bijan and his 6.3 ypa.

Did he split carries with Derrick Henry, too?

Bijan is a beast but it's not all that strange to see a rookie's usage ramp up as the season goes on.

Except, it would be nice to see the "ramp" happen...

So since you seem to be defending Smith, you must think he’s using his talent on O well.

[Bronco Billy]

Trubisky started the 2nd half in place of injured Pickett in PIT.

[steelman]

AJ Brown is an absolute beast. He's almost uncoverable.

[Pac_Eddy]

Jordan Addison is torching Jaire Alexander.

I'm just pointing out that Smith has a history of actually using his talent well. He has coached two of the highest DVOA offenses in the past two decades with Tannehill at QB.

Odds are he's not intentionally telling his QB to avoid his best weapons... and people are misinterpreting bad QB play for bad coaching.

[Bronco Billy]

NYG now at 8 yds passing for the game midway through Q3 but actually leading on Danny DeVito’s TD run.

[alewilliam789]

Lol shocking I’m watching a QB that can actually make throws downfield for the Falcons. Amazing

[oneson9192]

Will Levis SZN?

I know Hopkins is doing the heavy lifting on those 3 TDs, but I don't see how you can go back to Willis or Fitzpatrick after this. How high does he rise in your QB rankings after this week? How high does he rise in KTC's?

[Lumps]

Bijan finally has a rushing TD!

[Bronco Billy]

Wait, and then they hand the ball to Bijan in the red zone and they score? This is astounding inventive football, I’m telling you!
