The Falcons can kiss their season good bye, if the second opinion isn't good. Hopefully he comes back strong and picks up where he left off next year....

frick a second opinion. He should go ahead and get surgery and GTFO of Atlanta this off-season. Go play for a competent organization.

I actually like the Falcons front office. The Falcons have just been decimated by injuries.

Rough year for the Falcons.
Feel bad for Julio (this also fricks my fantasy team).

You mean the front office that refuses to fire the offensive coordinator who keeps throwing his WRs screens in traffic without blocking? There's a reason Julio and Roddy stay gimpy all the time. They get gang tackled after nearly every catch they make. The Falcons are either about to clean house or become a less exciting version of the Lions.

Roddy White wasn't always gimpy until this season, and both he and Jones came into the season with injuries. Besides, McElwain abused the Julio screen play w/ no blocking when he was at Alabama. It's not even close to that common in ATL's offense. Was Saban being incompetent for keeping Mac on staff because he ran that play?
Having said that, I'm not the biggest fan of Koetter after some of the red zone play-calls I've seen this year, but it's 5 games into his 2nd season in Atlanta. You act like they've refused to fire him for years. It's kind of hard to fire an OC who had one of the best offenses in the NFL last year. It's very possible he will be replaced after this year.

Apparently Julio is such a beast he ripped threw screw out that was in place from his surgery in 2011 and had no idea about it during the game.

Meanwhile somewhere in Alabama....
It was a sad, sad moment as I stared at my computer monitor.
NFL.com. SECRant Fantasy League.
I looked at the enormous point total for the season, shaking my head in disbelief at the tragic news I'd just heard. Just a mere 48 hours ago, all I could see was trophies in my future. He was on pace to be the top receiver in the league. First in targets, first in total yards, and second in receptions.
It was just a matter of time, I believed. Julio would be the top receiver in the league this year. I had been all but sure I was headed to the playoffs.
But there it was. Julio Jones. My mouse hovered over his name. "Drop player?" The screen asked. A tear began to form at the corner of my eye. As I clicked "Drop" I let out a scream to the Fantasy God's with but a simple yet profound question, "WHY, GOD? WHHHYYYYY?"
My wife must have heard me from outside. She'd been mowing the lawn on our trusty John Deere. She busted through the locked door to see me sitting there in a catatonic state.
I turned my head. I didn't have to say a word.
"It's Julio, isn't it?" She knew. We all knew.
I couldn't answer her. I just looked down at the floor waiting for her to comfort me while I tried to force myself quickly through the stages of grief.
But she didn't move closer. I wondered what was taking so long, as I desperately needed a hug. I looked up. She looked at me as I asked, "Do you think I still have a chance to..." She cut me off with a shake of her head. "Maybe I can pick up..." She shook her head even more vigorously. She had given up, I could tell. But should I?
Then she spoke the words I never want to hear. Not now, not ever. "Well, there's always next year." And with that she left the room. Any hope I had to make it to the playoffs went with her.
