SHOCKING: Nfl fans crushed falcons desmond ridder after he missed such an easy td pass vs buccaneers - You Need To See This

Desmond Ridder Falcons NFL Buccaneers Bijan Robinson

Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder has encountered a great deal of scrutiny this season for his performance on the field.

Ridder, who made his third consecutive start on Sunday against the Buccaneers since he was benched, delivered a perfect example for why he has experienced the on-the-field criticism when he failed to connect with running back Bijan Robison on a wide-open touchdown pass.

On third-and-goal from the Buccaneers’ 3-yard line, Robinson ran freely into the right flat, but Ridder’s pass was slightly overthrown for the rookie running back. With the incomplete pass, NFL fans ripped the second-year signal-caller on social media.

The Falcons did manage to come away with three points on a 20-yard field goal from kicker Younghoe Koo. Three possessions later that included Atlanta giving up a touchdown to Tampa Bay, Ridder redeemed himself on a 36-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Pitts to tie the game at 10.

But, it’s safe to say that fans still believe the Falcons need a better quarterback to lead the offense.
