Jim Mora, Jr. Says Falcons Not Interested in Changing Losing Ways

Jim Mora's friendship with Greg Knapp is clouding his judgement, and killing the Falcons

While teams elsewhere in the NFL are not afraid to part ways with offensive coordinators and players that are inconsistent, Jim Mora, Jr. doesn't seem to think the Falcons have any reason to change how its offense is run.

When asked about possible changes to the offense, Mora told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "When we had those moment of truth plays when the ball was in the air. It's sitting there and either he's going to make it or I'm going to make it. That's the moment of truth. We didn't make the moment of truth plays."

Ah, truth. That's an interesting word coach. Let's talk about truth:

The Falcons have lost four straight and its offense has scored only 50 points in those four games. (Falcons' opponents have scored 102 points)

Is that enough truth for you? Of course, the bigger truth is that Greg Knapp is your boy. You brought him with you from San Francisco to be the Falcons offensive coordinator and now the offense is paying the price for your loyalty. Mora, however, says his relationship with Knapp doesn't change anything. "It doesn't make it any more difficult," Mora said. "If anything, I'm able to talk more frankly with him."

I admire you wanting to stand behind your boy and all, but not to the detriment of the Falcons. Like it or not, the Falcons organization is bigger than you and your friendships.
