Falcons vs. Dolphins snap counts: Priorities and wide receivers
Whatcha doing, Falcons? Let’s not dwell on this game’s particulars any longer and just get into the snap counts. Good? Good. Offense Matt Ryan: 57 Andy Levitre: 57 Jake Matthews: 57 Alex Mack: 57 Wes Schweitzer: 57 Ryan Schraeder: 57 Austin Hooper: 52 Taylor Gabriel: 48 Julio Jones: 45 Justin Hardy: 42 Devonta Freeman: 42 Tevin Coleman: 18 Levine Toilolo: 15 Marvin Hall: 12 Derrick Coleman: 5 Andre Roberts: 5 Eric Saubert Bluntly, I don’t get it. Gabriel and Hardy played most of game and had seven combined catches for 73 yards, while Marvin Hall had one grab for 40 yards on just...

The Falcons have now won or lost four of their five games by less than seven points
They’re simply finding themselves in too many close games. The Falcons could, with a small handful of plays going their way, be 5-0 right now. Their two losses have been by a combined nine points, and if... ...the Bills didn’t get credit for a fumble that probably wasn’t a fumble which turned into a touchdown, which gave them the winning margin and then some.... ...and the Falcons had gotten Matt Bryant a little closer for his 59 yard field goal, not committed a penalty on Deion Jones’ second interception, or not had Austin Hooper drop a pass that turned into an...

Matt Ryan throws the third fewest “turnover-worthy” passes
The Atlanta Falcons quarterback hasn’t found his groove yet, but he’s been remarkably safe with the football. We know Matt Ryan hasn’t looked fully comfortable much this season. If Wes Schweitzer wasn’t giving up blocks in week one, Ryan Schraeder was out for weeks, or Mohamed Sanu turned an easy red zone catch into an interception. Speaking of pass catchers, has anyone seen Taylor Gabriel this year? Austin Hooper has been an afterthought the last month, and Justin Hardy had a rough outing against the Bills. The play calling has been a bit different from last year, and we expect...

A Closer Look: Falcons get back to their play action ways against Green Bay
The offense rediscovered their form against Green Bay. It didn’t take long for the Falcons to come under pressure and fire for their performance in 2017. The offense was under scrutiny for their tame showing against Chicago. With only two explosive plays coming from a coverage bust and Austin Hooper’s stiff-arm, everything felt lackluster. Two big plays weren’t going to cut it against Green Bay’s high-powered offense. The running game was ineffective against Chicago, but Steve Sarkisian’s play calling felt far too conservative. There wasn’t much variety behind his decisions...
