Watching the Atlanta Falcons lose (yet again) to the Tampa Bay Bucs last Sunday reminded Sportsbyfletch correspondent Paul Mac JUST HOW MUCH former GM Rich McKay put the Falcons behind the 8-ball. The team's receivers dropped balls, Keith Brooking couldn't tackle Warrick Dunn. The D-Line other than John Abraham got ZERO pass rush on the Lush Brian Griese. Paul decided to give us a Top Ten Bone-headed moves by Rich McKay!
#1 Signing Ed Hartwell
#2 cutting Chris Draft. Completely gutted the middle of the defense that was not great but not awful.
#3 Jimmy Williams (titanic bust! We traded up to get this jerk! for the record I was
happy about this pick when it occurred)
#4 Michael Jenkins (in the first round? Who else was taking him?) OT's
NT? MLB's? HELLO!?!?!
#5 DeAngelo Hall (great athlete, bad football player no brain)
#6 Mike Vick's contract. 'Nuff said. Stupid move!
#7 Not fixing the kicking situation ever. Mason Crosby on the board in
the sixth? No, let's go with 90 year old Morton Anderson!
#8 Jamaal Anderson could prove to be the worst of the bunch when you
consider they lost Patrick Kerney in the process (see #6 as the reason
for that. Honorable mention: Ovie Mughelli's 18M contract but the
overpayments have been going on before he got to the team
#9 hiring the wrong coach twice (and their subsequent hires of bad
coaches). Good year with Dan Reeves team and down hill henceforth for Jim Mora Jr. and the classic college coach failed gamble with Capt A hole last year..
#10 Sticking with Rod Coleman over taking Amobi Okoye. see #8.
Thanks Paul!

#11 Martrez Milner signed in the
4th round of the 07 draft... yeah because this guy showed he had it on the field as well as impressive physical stats right? The 4th round for Trez? Seriously... and he's now cut into his 2nd season. Nice Pick Mckay, wasted 4th rounder and yet Matt Prater was the guy who pranced out as kicker. Fabulous.
