Most coaches would call for a celebration after defeating their rivals. But for the Atlanta Falcons’ HC, Raheem Morris

The crazy last-second win of the Atlanta Falcons over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Week 15 game had their fans and players fired up. Above all, head coach Raheem Morris was also excited, shouting straight into the NFL camera, revealing his excitement. But fans still want him fired as they are already eliminated from the season.

“They found a way to win tonight. That’s what we’ve been looking for all year,” Morris said in his post-game conference.

However, the fight has come a bit late for them. With five wins, the best they can reach is eight wins, which isn’t enough to secure a playoff spot. Moreover, the Falcons won as their players came up with the best performances of the 2025 season.

Rookie linebacker James Pearce Jr. recorded two sacks today, taking his rookie season sacks tally to eight, the most in franchise history. His effort on defense got full support from the offense.

While Kyle Pitts and James Pearce Jr. finally delivered the game-changing performances fans have craved all season, the effort was overshadowed by a franchise-record 19 penalties which is a clear indictment of the undisciplined play that has plagued Morris’s tenure.

In the Week 15 matchup, they set a franchise record with 19 penalties. It was a fourth-quarter surge that got them the victory. They had only 4.8% win probability with almost 14 minutes remaining in the game. Fans see these stats and know that it was a close finish, which could have gone either way. That’s why they want the head coach to be fired.

Fans demand Raheem Morris’ departure

No matter the result, the common sentiment among fans was to see Raheem Morris fired. “His a** still needs to be fired,” a fan wrote, clearly frustrated that Morris couldn’t guide the Falcons to the playoffs. There’s no confidence left in Raheem Morris. Overall, in three seasons with the Falcons, he has a 17-25 record. Last year, they were close to a playoff spot, but failed with an 8-9 record.

Some just didn’t like his excitement after the game. One person mentioned, “Bro is screaming into the camera like he isn’t about to get fired when the season’s over.” While the fans are confident that Morris will leave, there is still no official confirmation regarding that.

Some had hilarious takes on the yelling gesture as another fan commented, “letting everyone know he’s unemployed this offseason.” It could happen, but if the Falcons win their remaining three games, the owner Arthur Blank might give him a chance.

“You still getting fired bro 😭😭😭,” mentioned another fan who didn’t want the franchise to keep him as their head coach. The Falcons are out of the season. Now, they are

spoiling the chances of other teams. That could become a case for Raheem Morris to stay. Share your thoughts in the comments below.
