Definitely a good qualification. But it remains possible a player doing that against back ups could do it against starters. Time will tell. Better that he can do it against backups than not be able to. Bottom line he did well in his first action and that is promising. No need to give him rookie of the year just yet.Preseason means nothing. Backups who look good only look good because they’re playing against backups. The difference between starters and backups in the NFL is similar to the difference between division 1 and division 2 football in college.
It looks like our offense with Mariota. Can't run, OL sucks, QB sucks, WRs can't get open. Can't underestimate the confidence that the entire offense gained when Tannehill became the QB here. Even our depth guys look like they have something to play for. If Ryan isn't up to the task, Atlanta is going to have a lot of problems.Only 1st preseason game but Art's team looks like chit, going to be a damn long year for them

Their defense and OL are bad and they just traded away Julio Jones. We knew well before this weekend that the Falcons were not contenders this year. Because they will not buy in on the rebuild, pitts rookie contract will be up by the time they can be competitive.Selecting Fields would not haver helped them win now but would have given them a QB as early as 2023 to replace Ryan. Teams need a backup QB anyway and Fields could develop for a few years.
Hard to jump to conclusions on how good or bad the Falcons are based on one pre-season game where few starters played. In fact it is almost embarrassing how much people put into these games. At best you can look at some individual performances, good or bad, but making general observations doesn't make sense.
Thus we can wait and see if passing on Fields was the right move or not because the Falcons obviously feel they have a team ready to compete for a SB now. I'd lean more to rebuild perspective but they apparently want to milk all they can before Ryan retires.
While this makes complete sense, the nature of the NFL does not. You can't take a QB that early and let them sit for two years anymore.Selecting Fields would not haver helped them win now but would have given them a QB as early as 2023 to replace Ryan.

Wow, if Tannehill goes down, season's over :chairwack:
You pretty much covered it. Hard to say much more based on one pre-season game.Missed the game but caught the recap on YouTube. Saw Weaver beating his man a few times. Looked like the blocking held up well and we were able to establish to the run pretty easy. Most importantly, kicking game was perfect.
Anyone care to fill in what I missed? Anyone really standout on offense or defense?

excellent argument AGAINST exhibition games
