#REALMAGATL S #FANTALK THE ATLANTA FALCONS
A FANS LAUNDRY LIST OF THINGS FOR THE FALCONS TO IMPROVE#REALMAGATL #FANTALK
1. They need a new offensive line to protect Matt Ryan or any quarterback. 2. Secondary needs a attitude adjustment. Nobody plays with a chip on their shoulder. 3. Julio Jones needS help on offense. Another key receiver will help. 4. Coach call passive plays. When falcons are up you have to set a example. Keep scoring to show other team we mean business. 5. Losing at home is not a option. 6. Owners need to put more money in the defense. They win games. 7. Never give a quarterback 100 million unless they have proven they are worth that money. Facts shows they play worse after they get big pay outs - AN ANGRY FAN
