Desmond Ridder being interviewed.

Sitting on my couch on Sunday

Man I wish we could be elite one day

Down 14 with 5 on the clock, I guess it’s just not our game to win

Our chances at the playoffs look very slim

Ridder as our QB, but he’s not looking like he’s him

Back in 2017, we were those guys

But now we just look like we don’t try

We had Ryan, Julio, and Trufant too

But like all legends, they move on too soon

Ever since halftime of that Super Bowl, Atlanta just hasn’t been the same

Since then they have been underwhelming for their name.

3 coaches since 2017, nothing seems to work

Dan then Raheem and Arthur for the third.

Up 28-3 looks like we had it in the bag

But Tom Brady had other plans as he was looking to brag

The offense went blank and the defense was invisible

In the end, we could have won, but the Pats got a miracle.

Now with a new team, I hope to see us succeed

Although we have a good start, nothing is ever guaranteed

With Bijan’s speed and London’s physicality

I hope to see us return to the top; we need it critically
