The color guys barely register when I am watching a game, but Tim Ryan last week made me say huh a few times, in a bad way. I can't really judge him on a single game, but he had about three things that he prepared for the game and fixated on them, regardless of the situation. His hard on for Tony Gonzales was ridiculous. In the second half, when Julio Jones was in beastmode, he was singling out Tony Gonzalez for the attention he drew, even when he wasn't. He insisted that we could totally run on Atlanta's D when it was clear that we could not.
That said, I agree with the popular sentiment that this site is a little over concerned with talking heads and the level of respect our team is getting. It will come with a sustained and consistent level of excellent play. 4-1 into the bye week will do it.
