Trufant Throughout the empty halls of Flowery Branch http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/matt-bosher-jersey , a piercing bell echoed. Each clang was so loud it shook the walls. This bell didn’t signify a new hour, or even the start of church. It was for something more sinister.Dan Quinn could feel the bell deep in his chest. He sat in the Head Coach Throne dressed in his customary black Brotherhood robe. “The throne sounds real cool,” Quinn thought, “but the smell is awful. And the divots in this thing... who has a butt that shape? Bobby Petrino always seemed to walk funny, but could it even start explaining these divots?”The throne was the central part of the Sacrifice Hall, the place for Quinn to make his final sacrifice judgement. Sacrifice Hall is also used for the company Christmas party, but today, there’s no punch. Quinn plays the judge and jury, while Samuel L. Falcon plays executioner. Freddie Falcon plays bailiff, and also takes care of some very important administrative work. That guy is a real double threat.“Bring forward the sacrifice,” demands Quinn.The far doors open. Freddie Falcon pushes Desmond Trufant through and walks him up to the front of the throne. Thomas Dimitroff, standing next to Quinn, begins to speak. “Desmond Trufant, you are hereby charged with failing to meet the standards of the Brotherhood Womens Brandon Fusco Jersey , a crime punishable by exile to the pit of fire. The pit of fire is sponsored by Arby’s, the official meal of the pit of fire. Arby’s. We have the meats.”Dan Quinn thought the sacrifices felt a little more meaningful before they got so commercial, but now the break room has unlimited Arby’s sauce. Trufant, understandably confused, starting talking. “Hey Dan, I don’t know what’s going on here, but this feels a little dramatic. Can we-”“SILENCE!” screams Quinn. “The Brotherhood needed you to step up. Penalties, the missed interception, and giving up 100 yards to Tyler Boyd are unacceptable. Seriously, who has even heard of Tyler Boyd? He sounds like an 80s pop star.” “This is not what we expected when we drafted you for your three-cone drill time. Man, what could have been,” said Dimitroff.“Tru, how do you plead to these charges?”“Lets slow down, I don’t usually play slot. So-”“SOUNDS LIKE GUILTY Womens Desmond Trufant Jersey ,” squawked Freddie.Chanting broke out from the brotherhood: “Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!” Quinn proclaimed, “I accept your guilty plea. We sentence you to the lake of fire. Those pure can escape and can battle another day. The impure meet a burning end. And, well, we aren’t sure where Jalen Collins is, but the bird says he thinks his stash keeps disappearing. So if you see him in the pit, tell him to knock it off. Also eat Arby’s.”“THE PIT! THE PIT!” screams the Brotherhood. The football gods have been unkind to the Falcons this year. With a good sacrifice, the falcon will bring good luck to Atlanta’s matchup to the Pittsburgh Steelers. If not, Atlanta is most certainly out of the playoffs.“A pit of fire? First off, Tyler Boyd is pretty good. Second, footballs are moving really fast. Who can even catch those. Third, this is madness,” said Trufant.“Madness?” squawked Freddie? “This is the Brotherhood!” Freddie threw Trufant into the pit of fire, where only fate will save him. Or maybe Collins. He seems to be thriving there. The sacrifice bells rang in celebration.Quinn smiled, and said Authentic Austin Hooper Jersey , “I really didn’t expect Trufant to catch the point. Get it, like an interception?”Falcoholinks: All the Falcons news you need for Wednesday, Sept. 26 We’re midway through the workweek, which means our Saints loss hangovers have mainly subsided and we’re dipping into the well of cautious optimism for Sunday. The Bengals last came to town in October of 2010, a meeting which saw the Falcons come away with a victory. We’ll lean on that and hope for a similar outcome as we head through the week. For today? Piping hot Falcoholinks bright and early. Benefit or doubt? Coach Dan Quinn has transformed the Falcons since his arrival in 2015. He’s put an emphasis on forging bonds through brotherhood, brought some aggression to a team that once slunk off the field after a late hit on Matt Ryan, and revitalized a defense that’s been feeble since the time of Pangaea.The Football Gods, angry and merciless as they are, have taken a metaphysical scythe to Atlanta’s defense, leaving a potential top-five unit in utter disarray. Free agent options are available, but at a long-term cost that may imperil the Falcons’ ability to secure their top-tier talent. Dan Quinn told us that the team would turn inward to fill the defensive holes, and David Walker argues that he deserves the benefit of the doubt in that decision.The Athletic’s Jeff Schultz provides the counterpoint to that argument, preferring that the Falcons seek outside help. Tip-toeing between those two schools of thought, on Tuesday afternoon the Falcons brought back a familiar face in safety Sharrod Neasman and signed linebacker Bruce Carter. Not big name free agent pieces http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/ricardo-allen-jersey , but quality depth acquisitions nevertheless.Benefit or doubt? Pick your poison. Falcons - Saints 101 The offense looked near omnipotent at points, special teams failed when it could least afford to, and the defense gave up enough yards that it registered as a destination outside of Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Google Maps. This was a game the Falcons should have won and managed to lose, in large part due to shoddy defensive play. Our Eric Robinson gritted his teeth and took a look at the lessons learned from Sunday’s loss, and what the Falcons must do if they hope to get back on track. A.J. Green unavailable? Falcons’ superstar wide receiver Julio Jones and Bengals superstar wide receiver have never once faced off in an NFL game, and this marquee matchup of two of the league’s best may be in doubt for Sunday. A.J. Green suffered a groin injury in the Bengals’ loss to the Panthers, and his status is up in the air for Week 4. Desperate for a win at home, Falcons fans would of course relish the opportunity to face Cincinnati without A.J. Green. But in all honesty, we’re eager to see two of the NFL’s most dynamic receivers go head-to-head. Green’s status will of course be updated as the week moves along.What worked and what hurtCalvin Ridley was near unstoppable against the Saints, Matt Ryan continued his recent high-level of play, and Vic Beasley made an appearance on our plane of existence. But mixed in with all the positives were some glaring negatives that turned the tide of the game. Give ‘em a look in this week’s edition of Hat Tips & Head-Scratchers.
