Maxx Williams is heading towards his 3rd season and if he doesn't show much than the bust talk escalates with him. Not getting much from him, Brown, and Correa hurt dearly. You need your 2nd round picks to preform, especially considering that there are 1st round talent to be had there.

Both Ingram and Perry are on my wishlist but Ingram seems mildly expensive. I don't know if we want to pay up that much. I would love to have Perry here, I don't know if he leaves Greenbay since they've made such an effort to keep him around and had such high hopes for him, I can't see him leaving due to that, but I still would love to have him, he's a 1A option for me because he costs a bit less than Ingram. I definitely agree that a splash signing would be at pass rusher and Doom's cap space could facilitate that.

I think Steve Smith was a great fit for the offense and it clearly showed it. He could attack the deep middle of coverage and run those slant/crossing routes very well because of how physical he was, he just couldn't be pressed on in tight man coverage and he beat linebackers at the point of attack. He was also a sneaky good deep threat and safeties couldn't sleep on him there. His chemistry with Joe was also on point most of the time. Thing is, I don't think Wallace struggles against linebackers at all, but he's not physical enough against man-press CBs and doesn't win inside position that often either. Those weaknesses are very identical to Torrey, but I felt that Torrey could've had a monster year in 2013 had outside factors related to poor QB play, poor OL play, and a non-existent run game not been so blatantly awful. I had my criticism of Torrey time to time, but we were so lucky to have him, let's not forget that back in the 2011 draft we were debating whether to take Torrey Smith or Greg Little, let's be happy that we ended up with the former and not the latter. He's not perfect nor was he an elite receiver but we all know that, why are we judging him by that merit?

He's not and never was a physical presence down there, neither is Mike Wallace and I saw him get beat on inside position plenty of times during the year. As far as that play goes, it was very well played by the safety and a very ill advised throw with plenty of space to run for a 1st down. I don't question the aggressiveness but the throw in that particular play was not needed, a TD was needed, that's why I'm not upset with being aggressive. If all we needed was a FG than I think we play a much safer drive. You can't play it safe against the Patriots, I totally understand that but the throw was just one that shouldn't have happened. I personally think so much could have happened during that 2013 season that could've kept him here. What if he had more help, better QB play, a run game, a consistent offense? He could have produced so much more and I personally think he could've made a run at getting an All-Pro vote, I know it sounds crazy but when I said he was having a monster season, I really mean it, the guy was on fire. It's just disappointing with what has happened and I feel like he's in the worse situation out there for a receiver still trying to make his mark.

I don't think Wallace is a far better receiver and I don't know about multiple 1000 yard seasons given the decline we saw from him in the 2nd half of the season. During the 2013 season Torrey led the entire league in receiving yards at one point of the year with 629 yards, I don't think Wallace came close to even sniffing that. The only person who pass him during that stretch was Calvin Johnson and that was due to his legendary 329 yard game. He was on pace for a monster year but lost steam due to things that were not in his favor such as ineffective QB play(Courtesy of the sub-par talent that surrounded Joe), an awful run game, and absolutely limited receiving threats. It was a dreadful offense and I don't think it's even close to as bad as what we saw this past year from this offense. It honestly makes this years offense look elite. Even with that, Torrey was killing defenses backs and coverages as literally the only receiving threat, even looking back on those games, while Torrey saw a huge drop-off in his production, he was still able to pull coverages deep and over the middle and give guys like Jacoby Jones, Dennis Pitta and Marlon Brown plenty of 1v1 opportunities. I don't think the offense was a perfect fit for Torrey, I think he was effective but the numerous slant/crossing patterns don't play up to his strengths, and I honestly feel the same way towards Mike Wallace, I don't think the offense is best fit for him either because he's not consistent on those routes either. I feel that in a different offense we could have seen a much better Torrey Smith, maybe we see a better Mike Wallace too. This is not directed to you, but I always wondered why Torrey caught so much flack here. He's not a super-star WR, but he's a good receiver and still is the only drafted receiver in franchise history to have a 1,000 yard season.

I think he played a really good game, but he made poor choices towards the end when it came to the sack and fumble. Freeman missed the block but you got to just take the fall and not try to force a throw in that position. I can also recall a play when he should have thrown it away but decided to take a sack with 3 mins left up 7 only needing a FG. I think those choices ruined it.

Horrible choke, but Matt Ryan made some pretty bad decisions.

I'll have to admit it as well... **Vomits uncontrollably**.

Bless us all that we're not Falcons fans.

That is the worse choke I have ever seen in my life. Might actually be worse than when Golden State blew that 3-1 lead, I don't know if it was worse but it might be just as bad.

Completely agree, just horrible play-calling when a FG would be the nail in the coffin.

Kyle Shanahan might have screwed this game up bad.

The old Matt Ryan is coming back.

Stop them here and it's really over.

Are you kidding me? LOL

Jalen Collins is getting shredded.

Really good punt

Lol

Man, this might be a historic collapse.

What a catch and what a play! Matty Ice!

FG is going to end this.

He did, but I think the situation comes into play, 7 Mins left, make NE earn it.

Well, Atlanta better run some time off here. No SB has ever went to OT.

Should have ran it.
