  1. The Saints only came down to Earth because the center LaCroix got hurt. There was no time and no protection after that for Carr and they still should have won. If they can coach up a replacement, they will be back scoring quickly.

  2. Great breakdown! Falcons fan here and I was at the game last night. It was an awesome atmosphere and it sucked to lose and made me sick to my stomach. Kirk answered the question perfectly imo about the officiating. They missed multiple opportunities and we don’t need to put the game on the line to the officials. Hats off to the chiefs and I still have a lot of hope for the falcons this season. They will get better each game. Go Falcons, Rise Up!

  3. The refs missed a PI against the Chiefs. They also called 3 non-existent penalties against the Chiefs that stopped at least one drive.
    Something everyone seems to miss: The complainers have watched these plays half a dozen times in slow motion, the refs must make calls in real time actual speed. Refs miss calls every game. It has always been that way. Truth is the Chiefs opponents can't win a close one, Chiefs can.

  4. Give pittsburgh thier credit man. Just herbert was great until he went up against a real defense now hes limping around. He was doing anything regardless. And i dont wanna hear about the other two QBs they both been playing well since they played the Steelers Bo nix destroyed TB. Steelers defense is going to give every QB problems. So they dont need Josh Allen or Pat Mahommes offense just be competent.

  5. The Chiefs Defense needs to get stronger in coverage. Play smarter. Their was passing interference in the end zone but thats reffs job.
    3 lucky wins Chiefs in a row . Win convincly! You all are testing are 💕 lol

  6. The complaints about the refs are just noise. Sometimes calls go your way sometimes they don’t. It didn’t decide anything. If the calls went towards the falcons mahomes would have had different plays too and I doubt he would’ve choked. They had a chance to win. It was an easy win. It was right there but there was zero urgency. They looked uninspired to win. The offensive coordinator is just bad. The play calling was nothing creative. Everything was predictable. The shallower routes were working. Cousins is a throwing qb. They need a similar offense as the saints especially when the defense is blitzing a lot and the long routes are taking too long to develop. It was pathetic to watch.

  7. Andy Reid is a tough "out" with a gr8 DC. With Eagles Jim.Johnson had an entire season (2001) allowing less than 21 ppg. Andy Reid can win a lot of games needing only 3 TDs. Eagles with Johnson had 5 NFC championship appearances & 1 SB (losing to another legendary pairing).

  8. im a falcons fan and the coaches have had 2 bad games out of 3. the first game was complete garbage, it looks bad on OC and HC raheem bc he signed off on that gameplan from a drunk 7 year old on madden. against philly the falcons didnt win philly lost that shit. lastly the chiefs game, horrible decisions and really bad play calling. i dont believe this team will win more than 5 games, and if that happens everybody should get fired.

  9. You can talk about decision-making all day long, but why are we ignoring a very obvious pass interference in the end zone that would’ve given Atlanta first down on the one yard line and ready to take the lead?

  10. you know there's only one thing i don't get about the chiefs. why doesn't the national media say they are racist for their name and doing the chop? braves get killed for this on ESPN. baseball writers won't even say the name "braves" but they're fine with saying chiefs?

  12. This ( " NO-CALL " ) ** FOUL**…
    {{{ cost the Falcons the win }}} !!!
    The referee said he didn't see it as a penalty.
    EVERYONE in the NFL, including EVERY coach…
    knows the Chiefs are the REFS darling team.

    Football fans (( all across America )) have been saying it!!

    It DOESN'T GET more Open Eyed Clearly BLATANT than
    !!!THIS!!!

    Happens EVERY week to the team.. whoever the Chiefs are playing!!!

    You'll see them call penalties (that DON'T EXIST) for the *opposing team*…
    — not lined up correctly –….
    and NOT call the same exact penalty on the Chiefs.

    Week after week after week after week…..
    After year after year after year after year after year after year

    And the entire nation (that watches football) is talking about it

  13. First off I would rather have put the ball in Cousins hands on that last play with a checkdown option to throw to Bijan. Bijan Robinson 16 rushes for 31 yards was unacceptable & I put that on Robinson & the Coaches. Also the 2 OL going down really affected the offense. It looked like the Falcons got to cocky with there running game & never made adjustments when the Chiefs focused on stopping Bijan. The Chiefs obviously went in saying the running game wasn't going to be the thing that beat them. It's on the Coaches & Bijan to figure out how they failed so miserably to adjust there gameplan. Overall though the Falcons do look legit & should only get better because this is only the 3rd game in this new regime. Everyone knew the Falcons opening with the Steelers, Eagles & Chiefs was brutal & in my eyes the Falcons passed the test & looked like a legit playoff contender. So far they've been in every game with a chance to Win at the end.

  14. I would have brought in extra linemen(O or D and put Allgier in the wildcat and did the brotherly shove/T-Push. Anytime you are going wide there’s a chance the play will be blown up by a DT/DL or LB breaking free. As for the Pitts no call…last time something that blatant happened(Julio/R.Sherman) we got revenge later that season. So fingers crossed that we can maybe see them again. And it’s only one way that’ll happen.

  15. The last series for the Falcons was a head scratcher. Especially on 3rd and 4th down where they used running plays and in effect, took the ball out of Cousins hands. I mean they gave him a Brinks truck full of cash for this very situation, to go and win the game. And they run instead? I guess Kirks finding that he really isn't on the same page with the coaches.

  16. The bad play call came down to 2 offence tackles gettting injured duting the game. After that Atlanta plays waent the same again.

    Reminds me of week1. They face last yrs head foach and play calling stopped em from putting up points even tho defense stood up

  17. Its amazing to me that if this was reversed and the Chiefs lose to the missed call in the end zone its all these sports analyst would talk about. But because it Mahones who is the "face of the nfl" they wont discuss it. Kansas city has won 9 straight six of hose nine was do to a penalty being called or not being called. The pass interference not called in the falcons game was worse thatn the one called against the bengals last week. Doesnt fit the Mahones and chiefs narrative so lets not talk about it
