OldSchool wrote:You're right everybody else is an idiot. Atlanta had the number 5 rushing offense in the NFL and had been averaging almost 5 yards a carry yesterday. According to everybody but you all they had to do was run the ball three straight times even if they lost 10 yards and kick a field goal and win the damned Super Bowl. But instead they pass the ball lose 22 yards on two plays putting themselves out of a game winning field goal all because it was the defenses fault. An incomplete pass takes no time off the clock and stops the clock. A 2 yard loss on a run takes time off the clock.

These say all you need to know about why the Falcons choked.





But by all means keep exonerating Shanny and blame the defense.

Ok.

One more point I want to make.

It's a team game. To say "it's the offense's fault" or "the defense lost the game for them" is never completely right.

In this case, both the offense and defense let them down in the 4th quarter. The defense clearly fell apart. But that was not a choice - it was bad playing. The offensive breakdown was in decision making. If they make the right calls, towards the end, they almost certainly win the game, despite the terrible 4th quarter defense.

And that, I believe, is why a lot of people are ragging on Shanahan and the offense. They got to a position where all they had to do was not screw it up. And they screwed it up.

Not to mention all the 3 and outs in the second half by the offense which put the falcons defense out on the field way too much. IMO the defense was gased. Shany choked mentally....

Not only do I fire Quinn, I sell the new stadium. If I am going to blow this up, I am BIG LEAGUE with What I saw last evening with a second year Head Coach.

I would be thinking about that new stadium in St. Louis just to make sure I screw everyone. INCLUDING St Louis because eventually my kids will move the team back to Atlanta. This is so frustrating I need to go out and get some kids since I don't have any.











Okay Okay........Sarcasm off. Dan Quinn is a class act. They have a keeper in that guy. This next year is going to be tough for him replacing some of his offensive staff. Kelly will be interesting if that works out.

It's kind of a SF - ATL swap of coaches,,, with alternate positions.
