Matty has NO time. O-line gotta do better. Gotta. FalconsNeedRing

We're about 2.5 minutes into the game and two turnovers already. Could be one of those games. FalconsJAdams

Well at least Bosher can tackle. FalconsNeedRing

The Falcons need to move their offensive dial from "slow" to "not slow." TheFalcoholic

That drive went in the trash compactor quick. TheFalcoholic

The Falcons special teams are not, really... technomonk13

Matt Bosher punts like a small child. TheFalcoholic

I hope I have enough beer in this house to get me through the game. Jeannathomas

Nice to see the pressure affect Freeman on that third down. Would like to see more of that. FalconsDCox

I can haz Matt Ryan no huddle tiem plz? Jake_W

Julio Jones uses his magnetic hands to bring that one in. TheFalcoholic

I like when we go "No Huddle" I believe Ryan calls the plays better than Mularkey. iHeartMiko

What a coincidence ....we go No Huddle and look at our offense!! MephisFalcon1

Falcons are lucky they didn't live on the border of East Berlin, or they'd be riddled with bullets by now TheFalcoholic

I know Freeman didn't just flap his arms as if they were wings. FalconsDCox

There are no words to describe this, except the words I am yelling at the top of my lungs, all of which are obscenities. Jeannathomas

Matt Ryan will be dead by the time this season is over with this O-line. I mean LITERALLY dead rantin12

I cant describe how disappointing this game is. HalMoore

I'm HONESTLY in FEAR of Matt Ryans health at this point. Our offensive line ain't nowhere NEAR last yrs. Poppa_Falcon

The ATL-TB box score's brightest spot: Michael Koenen is losing the punting battle against his rookie replacement. JasonKirkSBN

Could the Falcons fan community avoid turning and strangling each other at halftime of the third game of the season? TheFalcoholic

Frankly, it's a minor miracle they held the Bucs to three points. The fact that the Falcons are down by only 13 should be encouraging. TheFalcoholic

It saddens me to see how poor this team is playing with so much talent. DirtyBird4life

Bosher has to be cut. MidwestATLFALC

My grandma can kick farther. Botcher fluffs another one. Seriously, how long are we gonna allow this? AtlantaPeaches

Well, Tampa is challenging their own completed pass. This is where this game is right now. FalconsJAdams

Congrats Julio Jones on your first 100 yard game, and congrats to the Falcons offense for being a little explosive, finally. Nice drive! Technomonk13

When you have a solid defense and you have explosive skill position players, you can turn a game around quickly. FalconsDLevak

Third down stop here. For all the marbles and also the jacks and maybe even the sandwiches. Lot of stuff at stake. TheFalcoholic

This defense is impressing me so much right now... Loving it hottbunsugafoot

WHY WOULD YOU RUN TURNER UP THE MIDDLE HERE RRRAGH I WILL RIP APART A PHONE BOOK WITH MY TEETH! TheFalcoholic

Roddy is going down as one of the all-time Falcons. This guy and his will are incredible. FalconsDCox

It's a damn shame that one boneheaded play will color the defensive performance here. Frankly, the offense shares the majority of blame. TheFalcoholic

Best line in here.

I still ROFL when reading it.

You have opinions. We all do. Some of yours may have to do with the Falcons. Sign up today and share them.

Of course...

…it wasn’t the rage stroke I was having at all.

I agree about...

the last defensive play putting a damper on what was a very good game by this unit…score could have been allot worse and they deserve loads of credit.

They absolutely deserve credit.

Frankly, with an offense that has as much talent and potential as ours, there is no excuse for putting the defense in a position of having to execute one single play to perfection to MAYBE determine the outcome of the game, especially when the D was on the field for most of the game because we couldn’t sustain offensive drives. This was a hot freaking mess of a game, and I’m still mad.

You must have had a lot of beer in your house.

I did not have NEARLY enough beer.

That’s why I’m still mad. :)

In other news

Jamaal Anderson has more defensive touchdowns in three games for the Indianapolis Colts than he had in four seasons for the Atlanta Falcons. A fumble recovery that literally was given to him on a silver platter, but he scored nonetheless. You can check one more defensive player who is having a better season after we cut them off the list. Why can’t they all turn out like Jimmy Williams?

I’m happy to see Michael Jenkins being productive with the Vikings. He’s doing big things down there. Still wondering what our team would look like with him on it.
