Two things:
First: I am gonna call bullshit on this "Dan Quinn is dumb & anybody who agrees with Arthur Blanks' decision to retain him as HC is dumb" nonsense.

As stated before, bombarded by Seattle TV up here, I intensely watched Quinn's Seahawk D devour teams in 2013-2014, including Los Ramos who only got FGs in 3 or their 4 Seahawk meetings. The fourth was one of Jeff Fisher's home game gems when he snookered Seattle's STs with Stedman Bailey's 90 yd West Virginia PR, and had P Johnny Hekker pass to Benny Cunningham, late in the game, from like our own 30, to preserve the victory.

That Dan Quinn Legion Of Doom D propelled Seattle to back-to-back SBs. 8-)
and then in 2015 Quinn took a moribund Falcon team to 8-8 in his first year as Falcon HC...
AND THEN to the SB LI in his second year. :idea2: :arrow2: 8-)

See that PA?
That dummy Quinn took his new team to a SB in just his second year as HC.....
...y'know, just like some other genius we know. :shock2:

In 2017, in the Falcons SB hangover season, Falcons lost to eventual SB LII Philly IN THE PLAYOFFS.

In 2018, the 7-9 Falcons are 8th NFC Seed, miss the playoffs, but have 7 starters IR'd that year. How many starters Los Ramos get IR'd this non-playoff year huh?
Hint: no where near 7! :idea2:
2019: If Atlanta beats TB tomorrow they end up 7-9....outa the playoffs, but middle-of-the pack.....sorta like us. :?

ALSO....One year ago right now, HCs Harbaugh, Tomlin and Shanahan were all on the hotseat….all 3 beat us this season....FOUR TIMES EVEN!!! :roll2: Were the owners of NFL Franchises in Baltimore, Pittsburgh and SF dumb and stupid for retaining their underperforming HCs last year?? :?2:
Does not appear to be the case, eh! :P

So, maybe billionaire Arthur Blanks is not a dummy to retain Dan SBIn2ndSeason Quinn for 2020 , and neither am I dumb for not being surprised by it.

Second.....the homerism here is starting to get a little mucky underfoot for me. :idea2:
Not surprising I guess.....the winning wanes, the knives come out and it's the sequel to that December 2015 Movie
"LET'S GIVE SPAGS ANOTHER YEAR!". :roll2:

Case in point.....our Rams 2019 season was doomed by a shitty OLine. I call out our OLine Coach, a mook who has bounced from job to job since Oprah was a TV WeatherGirl…..
….and for that, and I am guilty of "scapegoating" and being "a doom&gloomer"??!! :roll2:

I call bullshit on these subjective labels. As a Rams follower for over half a century, I really don't need guys giving me lessons on team loyalty, logic nor fairness.

That would be one of their better moves. I'm not his biggest fan but he's got a pretty good resume'.
