Atlanta’s quarterback carousel keeps spinning without much rhyme or reason.
Lost Confidence
I've completely lost confidence in this team and Arthur Smith. We lost today to a Vikings team with a 3rd string quarterback who wasn't even on the team until midweek. Even with our offensive struggles, the defense has been standing strong this season, but today they allowed the Vikings to walk up and down the field, blowing coverages and missing tackles. It doesn't look like we can even win the NFC South, which is a dumpster fire of a division, and we're wasting the potential of some players who should be stars lighting up the league. Instead, we look completely incompetent.
I admire Arthur Blank's loyalty to his coach, but I don't believe Arthur Smith is it. He's supposed to be an offensive genius, utilizing a pounding running game, but his play calls are head scratching. When he should be running, he's throwing the ball, and vice versa. It seems like he thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, doing what nobody expects, but it's not working. And this is the third year it's not been working. He's the one that stood by Desmond Ridder, and now that looks like a complete bust. He has to be the one held accountable, and it's time for a change.
No game day thread?
Jesus another tough game.
Ridder showing the haters up though.
Bucs have only lost two games to teams who are currently 5 wins with 1 loss, so a solid team.
LET'S GO 3-0
It worked last week, so let's try again this week! Go Dirty Birds.... RISE UP!
LET'S GO 2-0!
I hope this new-look defense we saw last week gives Jordan Love trouble all day long, and Ridder got his first game nerves out and has a ballin’ day!
#RISEUP
