….that said, as a fan who been watching him the last 5 years, he’s definitely lost a step…..Falcons really need to bring in some new runners next season, as Rodgers and Snelling do not appear to be the answer as first/ second down or short yardage backs…..

I watched the Falcons throughout the year and MT has no running lanes at all. Just look at the tape and you will see it. I know many believe MT is done but his line can no longer run block.

Your best years are long gone and you’re currently on a team that will never get to the Super Bowl, let alone win one.

But, that was before they started talking about going unbeaten and when they lost they had the audacity to try to convince everyone that they were the better team Sunday. They’ll win this Sunday and win the division. And, then like every year they’ll get be down in the first round of the playoffs. They won’t win the Super Bowl this year or any other with this coaching staff and QB
