Young already very obviously better than Ridder.

Don't trust ridder to throw it down field on 3rd down?

Still zero pressure and getting killed on 3rd down.

Ridder just threw it 40 yards nearly-laterally across the field.

Luckily it’s not 6 for the Panthers.

Just got back from the game. This play is all it took to know Ridder ain't it.

The dude looked like he'd never seen any pressure in his life and completely forgot how to get rid of the ball.

Pro: We ran the ball pretty well against a stacked box.

Con: We're gonna have to run the ball 50 times a game for 250+ yards if we have any hope of winning games.

I think Carolinas DL was that good. Made the Falcons highly rated OL look bad. 76 got abused by 0. Ridder never had any time to throw. Young looked good because he had all day to find open receivers as the Falcons got no pressure on him till the 4th quarter.

Bijan and that whole run offense looked good. Ridder is not an nfl qb though.

If their not gonna use them they should let it be known their available and get some picks.

I bet Kansas City or somebody would give up a first for Kyle Pitts.

Has to be frustrating for those guys playing in this offense.

Bijan is going to be fun as hell to watch this season. I'm glad we have a guy like that to get behind.

Ridder at one point was 4-4 for 0 yds and a touchdown.

Jessie Bates is worth every penny spent on him.

Over .500 for the first time since 2017. Rise up.

Ya when I saw that live, I just thought "damn, they teach you not to do that in JV/middle school football."

I know we’re happy with Bijans week 1…

But Jalen Carter ….man



Until Bijan wins an MVP or becomes an All-pro I will remain upon this soap box.

Yea he also had a stat line at half where he was 5/6 for 9 yards but had 1 TD. What kind of QB do we have here? Have they only practiced hand offs?

The NFL version of a lead off hitter that only bunts.

TERRIBLE pass blocking. McGary has a tackle's body but a guard's skillset, and it shows whenever he sees any half decent pass rusher. He is a damn road grater as a run blocker. Tackles need to be better pass blockers than run blockers. Probably why they were able to sign him relatively cheap.

Can the Falcons knock off the Packers at home this Sunday? I see GB is -1.5 even in Atlanta so they're the decent favorite even on the road.

Going to be a much tougher game but we might be able to run on them a good bit. Going to need more than 115yrds passing from Ridder though.
