Post Game Thoughts Vs Atlanta(10/20/24)

[Shanegotyou11]

Hawks win big and snap a 3 game losing streak.

Geno played really well as did the rest of the offense imo.

The defense was really good vs the Pass today and created 3 turnovers(one for 6) defending the pass.

The run defense is still pretty bad but they recovered nicely in the 2nd half.

The worry is on DK with a knee injury.

Myers has the longest kick ever in Atlanta with 59yd FG!

Great win, and lets build on it.

Dare I say, offensive liane was “better” today. Not great. But better.

Derrick Hall impacted the game. Loved what I saw from him. Quietly drew a couple false starts.

Hey, WELCOME BACK big Murphy!! 4-0 with him. That cannot be ignored.

Geno was dang good. Ken Walker was damn good. So glad he was able to go.

I didn’t like the call to try the 59 yard FG, but damn, he nailed it. Nail in the coffin!

Absolutely! The defense looks different with him in there. More confident, relaxed, and abled.

This was probably the best game of the whole season to this point, which is impressive given how we started the year.

Honestly, there was impressive plays from all 3 phases of the game, so this was probably our most complete game as well.


Some work still needs to be done on Run D, particularly the second level where our LBs still just wash themselves out over-pursuing and not holding the cut-back lanes.

On offense, Grubb called a more well-balanced game though I think we got too conservative, too fast in the fourth. A couple of play actions on some of those second and longs would have been nice but overall, I thought this was a well called game on offense.

DK going down is just... like, damn. We can't catch a break on the injury front. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.

It was great being in the lead the entire game.

Agreed! I also personally don’t think he’s 100% yet either

Never got a chance to watch. How was RT? I heard Forsythe was out? How’d the line do?

Terrell did pretty well at RT for a rookie.

 

[DarkVictory23]

Line looked... decent? When we in a 'run now' mode, we got reliably stuffed. There was a couple of ultra-quick pressures on Geno (a couple when we really needed that not to happen). But penalties weren't too bad, got some nice run blocking on the first TD drive.

Overall, I think we'll be ok with Jerrell, didn't look any worse (maybe even a little bit more upside?) than Forsythe.

Great win. We again saw what MM's defense looks like when they can force teams into passing situations.

Both offense and defense looked good. However, the one caveat is that Seattle matched up very well with Atlanta on paper. So it's hard to know how much they have improved. Still, a win is a win, and a dominant win feels even better after the past few weeks.

 

[HawkRiderFan]

can’t say enough of the backup who stepped up at RT and in the secondary. There was some bad tackling on runs. At the same time I thought there were some runs where the D played it well but Robinson’s elite ability turned it into positives

 

[Nosferatu]

Defense looked great. Fun game to watch!

I don't know... Bijan Robinson/ATL run game has been really good. On paper, I could see people expecting them to run over us for like 250 yards.

The Hawks jolly whooped the falcons in their own house.

 

[Fox0r]

TLDR: We have a new starting RT and we kicked the shit out of them so hard Penix finished the game lol. Go Hawks.

 

[Rat]

We're now 23-5 in our last 28 10am starts. We should ask the Bills if they'd enjoy the luxury of not having to make the long trip to Seattle next week. If everyone else is cool with it, the league should be.

That's one aspect of the game, and Atlanta had no issues running the ball on us. In fact, they probably would have had 250 yards rushing if they weren't playing from behind.

One pattern I really noticed today. The the D won first down, it seems to set things up and force punts. On the other hand good first down success by the Falcons and the D couldn't get off the field. Might be a combination of what MacDonald's D does in passing situations and also Cousins when he's straight drop back.
The only third and long I recall completed was the one right before Love's interception

Been saying that for years. The key to 3d down efficiency (offense and defense) is how well you do on first and second down. Get some negative yardage on 1st down, and boom, you're in 2d and long or 3d and long.

Great game again.

That catch by KW9 was so good!
