Welcome back to where you’ve been Atlanta Falcons Hats , where you are and where you’re going. Welcome to the joys and frustrations of snowballing agony and agape (the Greek word for love, not the adjective for something that’s really open). Welcome to what it means to cheer for the Atlanta Falcons. What was once a 2018 Super Bowl swell looks to be downgrading to something far less potent. Though, ponder with me for a moment. What really happens if the Falcons don’t win it all this year?For the long-term Dirty Birds in our flock, gruff mumbles fill the air. “Well, at least it’d be familiar.” For the others around the campfire, that glorious visage of 28-3 rectified in a home game and a Peachtree Street parade grows foggier in the rearview.For those that are just too numb to care much about this team past being somewhat happy if they won, games like Sunday register as another blip in a series of “coulda, woulda, shouldas,” the banner slogan for the history of a franchise that gave up 31 unanswered points in a quarter-and-a-half of championship football (and overtime). This Sunday, Same as the Last SundayThe sad part is there’s nothing more representative of where this team historically stands than when your arch-rival takes them down at home in overtime after a rushing TD by the rival’s 39-year-old quarterback ties the game. This is also on the day your franchise legend throws for five touchdowns for the first time in his career, mind you.The overtime was made possible in part by a blocked punt that gave the league’s most dangerous red zone quarterback prime positioning to get points, which he assuredly did. Also, on that overtime drive, your starting free safety and lead defensive communicator probably goes down for the year with an Achilles injury.Then again, your rookie wide receiver has an arrival like few have in team history and scored three touchdowns. Your offensive coordinator is figuring it out Atlanta Falcons Hoodie , too. He’s scored 30-plus points in two-straight weeks. He only scored 30-plus points four times in general before this season and only once against a divisional foe (the lowly Bucs). Then again, your once-anticipated defense looks like the injured bench in Space Jam. Losing so many stars just doesn’t happen this often. The loom of a season infested with injury bugs hasn’t draped over Flowery Branch since that notorious 2013 season, but boy howdy, it’s happened now. It’s only Week 3, too. Is the team handling this properly? What’s keeping them from just getting Eric Reid in here? Can this defense survive not being bullied late into games once their energy goes out? Why on Earth can’t they tackle? The Falcons are 1-2. They could still probably make the playoffs if the offense keeps this up. This defense also is still, somehow, good enough to get stops here and there, though losing Ricardo Allen would be a nightmarish development. You now might not have enough now to contend with the NFC’s best teams in crunch time. All at once, you somehow have something to hold onto and something to pull you deeper into the quick sand. Welcome to being a fan of the Atlanta Falcons. This team can’t even make you feel sad properly because somehow there’s always a silver lining, gleaming just out of reach. The Falcons will always rain on your pity party.As It Stands, So It GoesFor 2018, such is the case. No one can be outright downtrodden with the outcome of things. Atlanta’s offense looks strong, and they’re surviving life without Andy Levitre. After nearly getting the fandom pink slip two weeks ago, OC Steve Sarkisian is maturing right in front of us. Whatever they did in the offseason is starting to work. The defense also looks to be built to last on paper, outside of some quibbles on the defensive line. The Falcons, for once Customized Atlanta Falcons Jerseys , might’ve finally done everything to put themselves in the position to maybe win the big one for real this time. Except not get injured. It’s a cruel, cruel, cruel twist of irony to think that it could be the Baron of Bangs and Bruises that dooms the team this season. That’s not a sure thing, though. There are a lot of questions right now without a lot of answers. There are a lot of outcomes without a lot of warning. There is a lot of acceptance without any balm. There is a lot of optimism without any takers. This is the Atlanta Falcons in a nutshell, for 2018 and in general. One day, scientifically, that won’t be the case. They will eventually win a Super Bowl. Will any of us be alive for that? Who’s to say? But this is why we do this every week. We come for the highs and lows, voluntarily, because it’s all we know, and we won’t do it any other way. After February 5, 2017, you can be assured we’re ready for it. If anything, 2018 does show something eternally promising about this team. At least they’re consistent. Jalen Ramsey isn’t afraid to speak his mind. That was a lot of fun for the Jacksonville Jaguars when the young, brash cornerback was bullying opposing receivers and leading a secondary that was the centerpiece of a championship-level team. But now the Jaguars have lost five straight and Ramsey’s attitude has been turned around on the team itself.A day after the Jaguars blew multiple coverages to give up 29 points to the Colts before halftime, Ramsey vented on Twitter:It was enough to get a lengthy response from Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone during his Monday press conference:The TL;DR version of Marrone’s answer is essentially: “buckle up and deal with the criticism because we’re all stuck with this 3-6 record.”Why is Ramsey mad?The Jaguars are losing. That’s definitely the most significant reason for his frustration.A couple years ago — when the Jaguars were one of the worst teams in the NFL — all the losing brought Ramsey to tears at one point. He was shown on the sideline looking upset and telling someone “I’m tired of losing.”That drive to win helped the Jaguars turn things around and find a culture of winning in 2017, but Ramsey’s back in a frustrated place now that Jacksonville is in last place again.On top of that www.authenticsatlantafalcons.com , the Jaguars’ pass defense looked like a mess Sunday. Andrew Luck tore it apart with 21 completions on 29 attempts for 285 yards and three touchdowns. Receivers were running wide open and one analyst, former Jaguars offensive tackle Tony Boselli, claimed Ramsey decided to do his own thing:That’s quite the accusation, but not exactly new. Ramsey is an aggressive cornerback who loves to use his rare combination of size and strength to shut down receivers at the line of scrimmage. The Jaguars’ affinity for zone defense in 2018 has been confusing, and Ramsey’s freestyling may have started before Week 10.If that’s the case, it’s a big problem for the Jaguars. There’s also the possibility that Ramsey gets asked to play press man, allowing the rest of the secondary to shade their zone defense away from his side. Either way, the Jacksonville defense appeared out of sorts against the Colts.The Jaguars are still one of the best in the league against the pass, but with the 2018 season circling the drain, that doesn’t matter much. The bigger concern is Ramsey’s future with the franchise.Is Ramsey on his way out?The short answer: no.Ramsey’s rookie contract runs through the 2019 season and the Jaguars can pick up a fifth-year option in 2020. Even if Ramsey wants out of Jacksonville, the Jaguars could use the franchise tag and keep him for at least another three seasons without letting him reach free agency.And even if it seems like this is a disastrous season for the Jaguars, the reality is Ramsey’s still playing well. Quarterbacks have a 73.4 passer rating when throwing his direction — that’s top 20 among starting cornerbacks in a year where the average quarterback has a 94.6 rating.He also allows a reception once every 13.2 times he’s in coverage — that’s also top 20 this season.Ramsey is one of the best young cornerbacks in the NFL and the Jaguars have seen what kind of difference he can make. There are clearly things to smooth over, but don’t expect him to be traded, cut, or allowed to walk any time soon.
