How fired is Mike Smith

Very

dat Crowell run, tho

He's pretty fired BUT to tell ya truth I don't think he's done that bad
of a job this year.Yes, I'm well aware of his clock mgt issues vs Det and
Cleveland (I have no idea WTF the Browns HC was doing at the end of
the 1st half either)

The Falcons O-line injuries along with lack of personnel on defense
plus injuries (Spoon and Moore) have put em in severe mismatches
all season long with the exception of TB and Carolina.

But I do have a big problem with their 2nd half screw ups and lack of
halftime adjustments

He's got to go. I was sold on that during hard knocks.

Clock management continues to be a joke. Won games are needlessly turning into lost games.

Arthur Blank is a moron...

he should start with himself.

IYAM they should fire Dimitroff no matter what. He is the problem as is his scouting dept. THEN once you hire a new GM you let him decide. More likely than not Smitty would be done too but I think that's the way you go about it. Give Ford some time to pull their Smitty commercials and replace them with the extra Richt commercials. You owe Ford that much.

Don't get this at all. est owner in Atlanta
sports granted not saying much)but also has
invested millions in this team.

Should probably fire TD but in no way do I think
the Falcon's need new ownership

TD definitely needs to go.

Besides Ryan, Jones, Trufant, and eventually Matthews, can anybody name one player that TD has drafted that is better than average?

Maybe Devonte Freeman? Maybe Spoon? Maybe Willie Mo? Maybe Ishmal?

So that's five 1st round picks, one 2nd rounder, one 3rd rounder, and one 5th rounder, that have panned out. And Willie Mo and Spoon can't stay healthy, and Freeman isn't hardly being used because our HC and OC are idiots.

So 8 picks out of like 65, and five of those are 1st rounders who are SUPPOSED to be good.

Peters is average, Alford is average, Hawley is average, Massaquoi is average, Hageman hasn't done shite, nor has Shembo or Southward, Quizz is slow as hell, Konz sucks, Holmes sucks, Baker sucks, Biermann sucks, Cliff Matthews, Goodman, Maponga, and Robertson haven't done shite.

We completely lucked out with Worrilow who was a UDFA. And Bartu is ok, but nothing special. He wouldn't start on many teams. So other than Worrilow, TD has found no other hidden gems.

And also, nearly every FA signing he's done, besides Mike Turner, Tony Gonzales and maybe Mike Peterson, has been total shite. Asante Samuel was decent for one year. Dunta Robinson and Ray Edwards were freaking massive blunders. Letting go of DeAngelo Hall, Dominique Foxworth, Keith Brooking, Lawyer Milloy,Harvey Dahl, Curtis Lofton, John Abraham, and Brent Grimes were massive blunders. And it's turning out that Umenyiora and Steven Jackson are complete busts of FA signings too.

TD simply has a shite nose for evaluating talent. And he and Mike Smith combined suck at hiring coaches. Dirk Keotter is beyond horrible.
