re: Hopefully the Falcons learn from the Hawks

Not a word of this is true. Not one.

We signed Howard quickly and low-balled Horford before offering him a bigger contract at the last second to save face and make people like you think Horford refused to play for Atlanta.

Let me ask you this. If Matt Ryan was a free agent and the Falcons signed Phillip Rivers before even extending him an offer, what are the odds he would come back regardless of how much he was offered?

And if you don't think this team is worse this year, you haven't watched them play much. They damn near lost to Brooklyn at home tonight.

This is the real problem though. Budenholzer is an outstanding coach, but a terrible GM. The organization needs to step in and hire a real GM to take that role. Doesn't even need to be Ferry, just not Bud anymore.
