The Atlanta Falcons might have won on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but they lost a valuable player in their win.
Tight-end Kyle Pitts went down with a knee injury during the 27-24 victory in Atlanta, and will miss some playing time.
With his injury, fans are reacting on Twitter over the announcement of him going on the IR.
Falcons placed TE Kyle Pitts on injured reserve, sidelining him a minimum of four games.

So how do fans feel about the Pitts injury?
Twitter Users Give Hot Takes On Pitts’ Injury
With Pitts having a lackluster season, some took to Twitter to use his injury as a chance to dog the Falcons starting quarterback.
Sit him until next year and get him a QB that can throw the ball

To fans, they see Marcus Mariota as the problem behind his low numbers.
However, one NFL fan believes Pitts needs a whole new team, not just another quarterback.
Get him to a different team, the Falcons are disgrace of a franchise, worst QB in the NFL and easily a bottom 3 cosching staff

The shots taken at the Falcons didn’t end there, as other fans blame the franchise for the tight-end’s performance this season.
The Falcons should be kicked out of the league for what they’ve done to Pitts.

While some people went after the Falcons, other fans took the time to wish the tight-end a speedy recovery.
Speedy recovery Kyle Pitts. I wish you luck. I’m in first place with you as my TE. Thank you for your season. I don’t care what your rank was you contributed. @kylepitts__

But one fan thinks the injury to Pitts is season ending, and not just a four-game sitting out for him.
I thought season ending?

With other fans, they took the time to call Pitts a bust, thanks to the coaching in Atlanta.
Biggest bust of the year. Falcons OC should be fired for this egregious misuse of talent.

However, a large segment of fans feel like the talent of the young tight-end is going to waste in Atlanta.
Whether they blame the quarterback or the coaching, they think he’s in the wrong place in Atlanta.
With him on the IR, fans might not see him for the rest of the 2022 season.
