Three reasons Matt Ryan is not to blame for the Falcons terrible start

The Atlanta Falcons are off to a 1-2 start in 2019 and fans everywhere are looking for people to blame and many of them start with Matt Ryan.

In case you have not heard, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan leads the NFL in interceptions. If I had a dime for every time that was said on Atlanta radio or tweeted at me the last two days, I could take the rest of the year off. We get it, he has six interceptions and three of them were really bad.

Matt Ryan has never been the quarterback to pass the blame, so he has taken accountability for all six of them even though half of them were not his fault at all. Matter of fact, most of the time when any quarterback, including Matt Ryan, throws an interception it is not their fault.

Matt has always been a true leader so he gives credit to his teammates for the great, digest’s the negative and rolls with it.

Has Matt Ryan been off to a rough start in 2019? Of course, he has. He has missed some throws he normally does not and there are times where he looks to have made up his mind pre-snap where he is going and has missed an open Julio Jones or Calvin Ridley.

While it is easy for us to sit on the couch or the barstool and point out that guys were open, we have no idea what Matt was seeing or feeling at the time that the pass was thrown. Again, he definitely has to clean some things up, but he is not the problem nor the reason the Falcons have started 1-2.

Here are three reasons why Matt Ryan is not to blame for the Falcon’s poor start.
