Falcons Twitter buries Desmond Ridder after back-to-back INTs

The Atlanta Falcons are down by 17 points against the Jacksonville Jaguars at halftime, and things couldn’t have gone much worse. The offense got off to a slow start before the wheels completely came off in the second quarter.

Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder threw interceptions on back-to-back plays, including a pick-six, to put the team in a big hole. Fans on Twitter are turning on Ridder as the offense continues to sputter.

If Smith decides to bench Ridder, you might kill any confidence he has left

A reset for him might be good. But it’s a risky call.

He’s already playing too conservative

Ridder throws a pick six to end what was shaping up to be a productive drive.

Send this team home on a raft

I know I’m alone in this but I’m not out on Ridder.

I think he’s talented. I think something mentally is holding him back. I think they need a more effective wellness plan (if they have one).

Lack of confidence is making him overthink everything

This team is painful to watch

I want to live in a world where Caleb Williams has the Falcons’ offensive weapons next year.
