Time for the Falcons to use some higher round draft picks on o-linemen. 4 offensive linemen drafted in 6 years. Only 1 (Matthews) being a first rounder. 4th rounder is the next highest pick. Either that or go sign/buy more than just Mack.

It is bad when you have to go for 50 plus yard field goals toward the end of the game because you know your defense cannot stop anybody at the end of the game. Our defense cannot allow a receiver to h at you on a 50 yard pass. Quinn does have boulders.

The secondary is crippled and maybe the best cover LB in the NFL is also out for the season.

I know they have 3 defensive backs out for the season, but they still should not let anyone get behind you 50 yards downfield up 2 scores. You have to keep them in front on you and make them run clock.

No doubt, but having all the safeties who trained with the starting defense out has to be tough to overcome, those are the players responsible for supporting CBs when receivers get by them. Also not having that great cover LB in the middle is huge.
