The Atlanta Falcons problems yesterday aren't as simple as "they can't pass the ball" or "they are in the bottom of the league in passing yards." You have to look a little deeper as to WHY those numbers are what they are. Arthur Smith is being very smart by not asking his team to do things they aren't capable of doing. He knows how to stay within the limits of his talent. That makes him a smart coach. Not a bad one. Secondly, Mark Zinno does think it is fair to question why we aren't seeing more production from Kyle Pitts and Drake London. It is on Arthur Smith to make the most of the limited opportunities he is throwing the ball by getting it to his best playmakers. Finally, it was shocking to see Matt Ryan benched for the Indianapolis Colts. For all the good years he has had in the NFL, for his career to end like this is disappointing.

The Atlanta Falcons loss to the Cincinnati Bengals has fans wondering why the team didn't throw more. Arthur Smith understands the limitations of his roster and his quarterback. He also understands that the team's strength is running the football and it benefits them to stick to that, especially when the game isn't out of hand. Secondly, Falcons fans need to understand that Marcus Mariota isn't going to be benched. He isn't playing poor enough to warrant it. Just because he isn't lighting up the scoreboard, doesn't mean it's all bad. Fans need to remember that this team was limited before the season started and you're seeing some of that come to life. Lastly, the Atlanta Hawks start their season 2-1 and all eyes will continue to be on De'Andre Hunter. After a big performance in the opener, he sorts of came back to Earth in the last two. The Hawks will need more from him if they hope to take a big step forward this year.
