PrintAwwwww yeah. I went there. And I'll be going there.
Against all grain of humanity, I, Caleb Rutherford, will be making the case for Mike Mularkey, offensive coordinator for our own Atlanta Falcons.
Take the jump, and we'll make it happen.
And now, behold, the case for Mike Mularkey!
....to put all his stuff in.
AND GET OUT.
That is the case for Mike Mularkey.
and that is all.
My recap comes later this evening, fellow Falcoholics. Have a good day.

I was so scared when I read the title
And you made me laugh, I think it’s your best article Caleb
That was fantastic
I was ready to hop in here and say I’d be writing a rebuttal in the morning…but I guess it’s just a buttal now.

Wow
I saw his picture pop up and his name, I thought I was going to be reading an article that said he was fired. Then I read the whole headline.
Got me all excited for nothing.
please don't
He doesn’t get very far on screens

NICE!!
Can I slap a Cindarella sticker from my 3 yr old on it before it he leaves!
I was pissed for like 5 secs
Until I saw that amazing suitcase. MM needs his office cleaned out immediately.
LOL
No matter what happens I love my Falcons therapy sessions with people who understand. GROUP HUG!
Well..
It simple we don’t have the line to run his power scheme… Time to bring in a O.C. that will utilize the weapons… maybe if Mularkey wasnt so focused on a head coach job he would of created a gameplan instead of laying an egg
so please… GET OUT OF TOWN
Hard to see that
But given the regular season, it wouldn’t take much of a distraction
all i want for my bday tomorrow is..
Justice.. Hit the road mike mularkey, and dont you come back no more!
You really had me going there for a moment.
“effin really” I says. I almost didn’t hit the jump. Glad I did lol

I think MM
is as good as gone, even the players feel like he’s handicapping this team. Here’s an article, the stuff is said towards the end, but still a good read.

Dude you could see it on their faces during the game
Look at Turner’s face after that 2nd fail 4th down when he was on the SIDELINES! Then the faces on the Falcons offensive personnel on the sidelines during the last quarter. They are done playing for Mularkey. You can see it in their eyes.
Roddy looks to be done with MM
"We talked about trying to establish the running game because we didn’t think we could pass protect," said Falcons wide receiver Roddy White, who was limited to five catches for 52 yards with a long of only 21 yards. "We played right into their hands. I mean, if they sack us every down and we can’t move the ball, OK. But let’s try."
“White’s remarks echo private comments of several other players who have pointed at a disconnection who offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey’s approach. Numerous players believe Mularkey is too conservative, particularly in tense situations like the playoffs.
Finally Roddy opens his mouth
at the correct time!
Wow...everyone is giving "props" to RW for saying this...??
I say “way to be a half season behind the power curve there Roddy”!!

He should have brought it up behind closed doors during the season… Its obvious he felt this way for some time I would think.
He might fit miami a lot better.
They should have a decent ground attack with Reggie Bush and whoever else they got.
A decent solid defense should fit mularkey’s system well.

If this OC
is not outta here by Friday of this week, I’ll lead an Occupy Flowery Branch movement.
C’mon Caleb. The new NFL has passed him by. Success is now gauged by how well you can score and rack up points. Ball control football is DEAD. With the drafting of JJ, Dimitroff gets it, I think. But it’s gonna be a while before we’re re-tooled to play the kind of ball the Saints play. Mularkey is the football equivalent of the Polish cavalry in WW II.
If you were directly above him, how could you see him? Because I was inverted. [Bullshit] No, he was man. It was a really great move. He was inverted.
you obviously only read the headline/paragraph before the jump

Then the Falcons can hire Mike Martz…lol
Just Reported that BVG gone
to Auburn Tiger as new Def Coord.
Honestly he's not the problem...
Yes our defense had problems getting off the field on 3rd down, but look at the talent he had to work with. Great LBs, one good passrusher, a couple of good DTs, Grimes, and Moore. Other than that we have 4 huge holes in coverage and a flop of a DE opposite Abraham. He kept us in games with smoke and mirrors honestly. Wish you well BVG!
Mularkey for DC!!
Braves.
Falcons.
Gamecocks.
if MM is DC
we could hold the record for fewest points allowed!
Dont cloud the issue with facts!

Yep, they canned the wrong coordinator
My bloodthirst will not be quenched until MM is officially canned…He has 2 interviews this week, maybe they are doing the nice thing and waiting to see if he gets an offer first. If he is still not fired by Friday, I will start getting nervous.
There's some irony in that
because I have supported him in the past. But nooooooooo more. ha

Get one ready for MS. We will be no better with MM gone until MS goes!!! I pray that Blanks changes head coaches.

MM
Who would hire MM after Sundays play calling? I do not think any team hunting a coach to win will be looking at him.
4th & 1
I figured you guys would have learned your lesson after failing to get a first down on 4th & 1 situations after the overtime game against the Saints. Obviously Mike Smith didn’t learn his lesson. 5 draft picks for Julio Jones and all you get for that is a pulled hamstring. In a league with the Packers, and in a division with the Saints putting up massive amounts of points, you guys draft a receiver. Don’t let the fact you play the most explosive offense twice a year deter you. Go out and get a receiver. Don’t worry about getting defense. I love and revel in the fact that the Falcons under Mike Smith are 0-3 in the playoffs. You guys are going to complain about the score being ran up on you but you run up the score on Tampa and Jacksonville. Who dat?!
I think I speak from all of us here when I say
Drop dead. A slow torturous humiliating hideously painful death. Too much? Too much? Too Real? Too real? Again…football fans from the not so great state of Louisiana show just how classy they are. I’ve never been disappointed in that fact. It’s like getting up and counting on the sun to rise in the east.
Ehh...
maybe not quite that vicious.

I know...I know...
I have a laundry list of problems with LSU and Saints fans that goes waaaaaay back….they’ve never dissapointed Caleb. Sorry but it’s the truth. I was just being chippy to get the point across. I don’t REALLY wish he was ex post facto….Is it wrong to lie? :D
I do however
Wish for Alabama…to pound LSU into the grass this evening on National Television. I also hope that SF (and trust me I hates me some SF from the days we had to watch them due to blackout policy) equally pounds the Saints. Ah yes…then to NOT troll the Saints boards but here the steaming pot of gumbo froth from afar.
please don't troll their board when Drew Brees cries on tv
They’re beneath falcoholics
Copycats
I feel like after watching the saints convert on 3/3 4th downs and destroying the lions, MS decided to copy them. Except for the fact that the Saints were creative on their 4ths (The drew brees leap/extend was pretty new) and we just QB sneaked blatantly.
Seriously? You guys have a ring...you won your playoff game
and you’re here ? Get thee a life!
A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice.
Sorry meant for up above ..(not Heaven)
A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice.
By the way
Julio had better YAC per catch than Victor Cruz, the man who blew up just about every NYG single season receiving record this year, as well as a similar per-catch average. Yeah, Julio was hurt for a little while, but nobody here thinks it wasn’t worth it.
Don’t talk trash without getting the facts. Julio’s twice the receiver anyone the Saints have.
Good luck against San Fran. I hear hurricanes don’t strike out on the west coast.

Time for a change.
I really tried to defend MM over the past few years, but I can’t do it anymore. The offense is stagnant and unable to adjust when things go south. I mean heck, Matt Ryan in the no-huddle did a better job calling plays than Mularkey did. It’s time to shake things up.
After I read the headline
I was getting all geared up to call you an idiot, you are however a genesis.
Never been called a genesis before.

Rise up, the theme song.huh!
It was more like ,the old commercial with the old lady ,I’ve fallen and I cant get up. I cant believe management set back all this time ,and let this happen to this team,and more than anything the great fan base that we have. Definitely unacceptable,no doubt about,it has come time now for them to get their heads out of their asses and bring this city a winner. We should not have to settle for anything less. Whatever they have to do to make it happen,make it happen. Start paying for quality players,and free agents,don’t skimp,and cheat your fans like you have been doing. We certainly don’t deserve what we have been receiving,we deserve a championship,“Arthur Blank”.
Fallen prey!
Everyone take a turn ,may as well . We can’t even beat a high school team the way that this team has been playing.
Let's do the Oakland/Al Davis thing
and trade MM to Tampa for draft picks!
too nice
Love the deception there, I was thinking maybe you’ve been drinking so much after watching that crap of an effort yesterday that your mind just turned to mush.
I think you were a bit kind on the luggage there, he gets a garbage bag from me.
I was actually expecting a gif of crickets
But that suitcase worked well, too.
I like Smith because I think he sets a great tone the way a HC should.
But I hope they hire some “evil geniuses” to be their coordinators. Just to balance things out.
No worries, friends
I figured we could all use a laugh after the travesty that happened yesterday. Hope everyone got a kick out of it!

I enjoyed it
even through the lowly, depressed bitter haze that’s filmed my vision since halftime in the early game yesterday…
Somehow it seems a travesty...
that BVG is heading to a college DC job and Mularkey is actually considered for head coaching jobs. I thought BVG did a better job than MM. I can’t imagine that MM is being seriously considered after laying an offensive goose egg in the playoffs.
