Avast! Falcons' Smith be in a mighty rage, bellowing "Blasted bilge! A scurvy defeat, by the Saints!"
2024-01-07
Avast ye scurvy dogs! The scallywag Arthur Smith, captain of the Atlanta Falcons, did let loose a torrent of foul language upon the hapless Dennis Allen, skipper of the New Orleans Saints. 'Twas a sight to behold, as the Saints plundered one final touchdown in a grand rout!
In a 17th century pirate's language, mateys, let me tell ye a tale of the Atlanta Falcons and their misfortunes. Arrr, they won't be sailin' into the playoffs next week after bein' defeated by the New Orleans Saints in a blowout on the treacherous road. But ye know what be even more interestin', me hearties? It be the fiery exchange between Falcons head coach Arthur Smith and Saints head coach Dennis Allen.Once the Saints had the game in their grasp with a fumble recovery and a touchdown makin' it 41-17 in the fourth quarter, the Falcons decided to pull their starters from the battle. Aye, Desmond Ridder's backup, Logan Woodside, took the helm and threw an interception to Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu, who took it all the way back to the Falcons' one-yard line. Instead of just takin' a knee and lettin' the clock run, Allen allowed his runnin' back, Jamaal Williams, to score a rushin' touchdown, makin' the final score 48-17.
Now, in the code of sportsmanship, it be considered bad form to pour salt on the wounds of a defeated crew. But it seems the Saints cared not for such niceties. So, when the time came for the customary handshakes between the captains of the ships, Smith stormed into the middle of the field, shoutin' at Allen with colorful language.
"That's f---in' bulls---," Smith bellowed, while Allen calmly responded, "I understand that."
But alas, me hearties, even before this incident occurred, the Falcons were already doomed to miss the playoffs due to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' victory over the Carolina Panthers, claimin' the NFC South title for the third year in a row. The Saints would've taken the division if the Buccaneers had lost, but that wasn't to be.
Now, as the season comes to a close, there be many questions surroundin' the Falcons' future. Will Smith and his crew of coaches be walkin' the plank? Rumors have been floatin' for some time about Smith's possible departure, and with three straight losin' seasons, his seat be scorchin'.
So, me hearties, as we sail into the offseason, the Falcons face uncertain waters. Will they find a new captain to steer their ship, or will they continue to be lost at sea? Only time will tell, but for now, they be left to ponder their misfortunes and chart a new course.
