The bad throw landed at the four.  Use your imagination.  The better pass would be to Gainwell earlier and in stride, where he is facing the goal line.  He either goes in or out of bounds. 

If he puts the ball up an in his chest, he has a chance to grab it and change direction on the defender.

Much better, the Bears beat guys were saying Robinson lost a step. Certainly seemed that way on Thursday night 

Robinson wouldn't have been brought in to be the #1.  He would have been a #2 here.  That said, he's well past his prime.  And while, I wanted him before he went to the Bears and have wanted him since he was drafted... and we took Jordan Matthews.  I didn't want him this year.  That would have been bad resource allocation.   Much cheaper than Brown, but much less effective.  Brown adds a legit #1, and makes Smith the #2.  Unfortunately, our QB doesn't seem to be able to distribute the ball very well.

chance. yes. But chance he gets tackled short. Which is why it was unquestionably the wrong decision. Ball belongs in the end zone where its a TD, or incomplete with the clock automatically stopping. 

Weird first half. Hoping hurts improves but I'm not thrilled so far

Oh, no doubt. The bad decision was only the first bad part of the play. The throw was just as bad

missed the KR. Looks like it was a piss poor one anyway.

Lions are so ready for run left, sending Sanders over there is setting him up for failure. 

Got away with an OL down field on that one.

Caught at the goal line, tried to run horizontal.  

AJ Brown is a cheat code

He threw on 3rd down. To the right! Aaaand... its still Brown.

Love Brown but get Smith involved. When he requests his trade we need people to know he is exceptional. 

 

 

 

phew! Gainwell is too strong!

Was that a Byron Leftwich windup?

Loving this drive so far

Draft Pick 2023 update:

Falcons go up 23 - 10 on Saints.   

A non Brown reception!

2nd throw to a WR not named Brown?

F I think that one was doing downfield to Smith and Detroit stopped it with the TO. 

Falcons taking it to the saints

Teddy B is 9/15 for 55 yards. Terrible. But great for us.

Getting AJ makes me almost forgive Howie for passing on DK and JJ...

 

almost...

2nd completion.  He 'targeted' Smith once on the first drive.

this team looks damn good if not for friggin Hurts. 

Yep 

Lions would be in trouble with an aggressive ref group.  Too much hands and contact in the secondary. The late hits on the slides too.  

Definite penalty.

No.  He had a 'drop' according to RTK.

 

 

And another designed run by Hurts in the RZ.
