I still remember that God awful super bowl loss. Now let's move on and fill some holes and get him some weapons. WRs and a TE and a LT. Should be an interesting season.

Crow is gross by the way...

I was honestly afraid we’d end up with Mariota but at the same time, I knew how good Ballard is.

This apparently has been in the works since the Falcons first looked into Watson. As soon as Ballard found out, he called Atlanta about Ryan. That’s how a pro works.
