Falcons troll Browns for releasing Taylor Gabriel

Gabriel didn’t need many touches to make an impact against the Cardinals.

A day after the Cardinals were beaten 38-19 in Atlanta, coach Bruce Arians took aim at his players. All three teams were expected to do great things this season, but all have started to go on a rapid decline. “I really can’t fault them for wanting to make a play but at the same point, the discipline of the defense is probably the most important thing”. However, more credit may just have to be given to the Vikings defense, which now has the league’s fourth-ranked passing defense. They might not get to that 32 points they average against Arizona’s defense and the Cardinals have to find a way to get into the win column here. The Falcons went into Mile High and defeated a better Denver secondary and almost pulled out a victory a week later in Seattle against a disciplined Seattle defense.

Then he was released earlier this season during final preseason cuts. The other reason could be that they aren’t getting enough takeaways. Giving the team the sort of pass rush that has always been a major weakness, Beasley already has 9.5 sacks – putting him near the top of the league and more than doubling the output from his rookie season.

While this game was filled with positives, there is still some cause for concern. However, this season that just isn’t happening.

“It’s disheartening”, quarterback Carson Palmer said. In receiving, Julio Jones had 135 yards in 10 receptions while Taylor Gabriel had 76 yards and a touchdown in a reception. But the two turnovers may have prevented the 49ers from snapping a nine-game losing streak. Barring a late season surge, this year has been a bit of a disaster for Gronk owners.

The Cardinals will be looking to win today and have a strong December to try and move into the Playoffs spots.

But he isn’t the only player on offense, who is struggling.

Unless Falcons wide receivers can keep outscoring those folks. Arizona WR/PR John Brown (hamstring) left the game in the third quarter and didn’t return.

Jones was shadowed by star cornerback Patrick Peterson and had only four catches for 35 yards. At times Mitchell, who has a big body, gives Tom Brady his best outside receiver threat since Brandon LaFell (when he was good). Michael Floyd has also been a non-factor this season.

Yesterday against the Dolphins, Kap rushed for 113 yards and passed for 296 and three scores.

JOHNSON’S IMPACT: The Cardinals have a number of problems. He signed with the Bengals, and spent two seasons struggling to become a consistent National Football League receiver.

They have road games against Atlanta, Miami, Seattle, and Los Angeles. This seems to indicate that he will be questionable for Week 13’s game against Washington. The Falcons had to settle for a field goal, but tied the game up 10-10.

“Offensively, they have had some injuries there, so they have tried to heal up some guys along the offensive line”, defensive end Dwight Freeney said.
