61 is a big dude

DB almost pulls Irwin's jersey off - announcer says he saw "not much"...

Cody Ford.

I hope we go for this.

Terrible play/decision

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

I think I am out.

Maybe till half.

[Joelist]

Well, another preseason game where they play like garbage. I don't care if they win but come on! Play like actual pros with professional pride.

[WhoDeyK]

Even for preseason that was a terrible play call on 4th and 2. So far everyone seems rusty. Just glad we’re shaking off the rust in the preseason.

Evans was wide open underneath

No way he doesn’t get 2 yards there

[RunKijanaRun]

I know, who gives a shit…but what an awful call, and an even worse no call by the ref

[jj22]

Oline held all drive. 4th and 2 bombs away is what you get when you don’t have a run game.

A slant would have done it. Zac as a play caller is still a question mark.

I like going for it there. The kicking game got a lot of work last week. Don't really need it this week.

Irwin needs to turn around faster and get open. Might have got held a tad but he wasn't open. If he was that throw was in a decent spot. There might have been a safer throw for the first though.

Falcons seem pretty decent. Good run D so far and offense looks good.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

A team that runs it on 3rd & 2!

[Joelist]

OL was fine. Siemian looked somewhat better. Really this was down to poor play selection.

[*Awful Llama*]

If that scenario happens in Cleveland I hope we're not slinging it 25 yards down field.

That's what I thought but I wasn't sure without watching a replay. Irwin wasn't open.

[Joelist]

And defense still embarrassing.

You serious? You are a Bengals fan who’s envious of Atlantas offense? The Bengals don’t run it like that but they don’t have to. Their passing game is one of the best, if not the best, in the NFL.

I guarantee you Atlanta fans wish they had Burrow, Chase, Higgins etc.

[Joelist]

Nothing like watching your D get chewed up by a bad offense - preseason or not it is not entertaining.

[MasonDT70]

Atl is having a terrible go with these penalties.
