Lol everyone is so blinded by their Rivera hate that the logic being used is, well even if Gano made it the Falcons would have gone down and scored anyway.

People are literally relying on hypothetical scenarios that will never be known to support an argument.

 

the point being made is not that the falcons WOULD HAVE scored after our FG. the point is we GAVE THEM A CHANCE to score when there was ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for us to do that.

Comebacks are not anything new to football or sports in general. Players play bad early then comeback all the time. That 4th quarter was straight up bad coaching. I don't know how you play for a field goal and let matt ryan have a 1:30 left on the clock. Even if Gano didn't miss the field goal, there is almost no doubt in my mind that the falcons would have gotten in field goal range and won the game that way. 

 

Sure, it happens on occasion.  But we have been playing like that since the third game of the season.  Against the good teams, it means a blowout with us scoring a couple of meaningless td's at the end.  Against a bad team like the Falcons, it means we a close game.

The kicker missed a potential game winning field goal, so you can disagree with me all you want, but he lost the game at that point.

 

Then I say you don't understand the point I am making at all. If he missing the FG lost that game, then what about the other FGs he made during the game? Your logic makes no sense. Losing the game as a whole is not on one moment or player, but a combination of many things. That is how the game works, that is how it is won or lost. As a whole, the coaching staff failed to let the offense win the game. Even before the end of the game, the play calling on 3rd and short was horrible. Then at the end when the offenisve momentum was in our favor , the coaches shut it down. If you want to put that on Gano instead of the coaching staff, you are more than welcome, but it is illogical to do so.

Are you kidding? The kicker was put in a situation he shouldn't have been in. It shouldn't have even come down to a FG at home against a sorry team. Yes, Gano screwed up. It wouldn't have mattered, as our coaching staff made sure Atlanta had 1:30 to go 35-40 yards to win. Our problem is coaching, not Gano.

Have to agree, our offense was playing well at that point, we barely get into fg range and run 3 times, dont even try to make it an easier kick or take a shot downfield. Just doesn't make sense. I would have to say that leaving the Falcons 1:30, while we proceed to go into our fuging cookie dough soft prevent, we would have lost anyway, without a td. Playing not to lose v. The win, has always been Ron. Ready to move on from the loser mentality.

People are relying on history and how Rivera likes to give up 10 yard cushions and go into prevent in those situations not hard to forsee the typical outcome.

 

Plenty of logical reasons why you don't simply run the ball 3 times in that scenario.

Hey...I am ready for Rivera and Shula to go like most here. Their coaching is avg at best. But, when your offense sucks for over 3 quarters and you need end of game heroics, much of the blame for that has to fall on the players and their poor execution.

We are in one of those spirals where the team starts looking for the "what bad is gonna happen next". When that happens, changes need to be made....and I agree those changes must start with the coaching staff.

So you think the coaching was adequate today? Or any other game this season?

I don't think it was great by any stretch, but every single coach in the NFL is going to play that scenario the same way. Make them burn timeouts, maybe get a first, but if not then your kicker is well within his range and simply does not miss at that distance.

Rivera's biggest flaw today was having faith in his players to execute when their numbers are called.

That loss was on Cam's god awful play for over three quarters.

Defense have the offense chance after chance and they did nothing for 3/4 of the game. Typical inconsistency from Cam and the offense.

But if course you idiots will blame everyone else. Shitty for 75% of the game and good for 25% of the game is NOT makings if a top QB.

And the OL flat out did their job.

Cam put us in position to win no matter what you say. The only reason we had a chance to win at the in was Cam.

Blame him for the 1st 3 quarters all you want but he got us back in that game.

      RUMORS: Panthers schedule leak

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      I believe you are correct. Everyone remembers that record setting drubbing of the Broncos but that was the highlight of their season. They have very good coaching overall and they have a ton of talent. With a better QB they could have knocked off the Chiefs IMO. We aren't even in the conversation of the Dolphins until proven otherwise. We couldn't even get in the end zone against the lowly Chicago Bears. We got shutout and blown out by the CJ Beathard led Jaguars for fugs sake. We can't even compete with bad teams let alone run up the score on them. To me if I'm being completely realistic if I'm the GM and my job is on the line and I feel like Tua is Bryce Young's ceiling I'm drafting QB in the first round next year unless he just magically has a season like Stroud did last year. That's it. I'm genuinely not trying to be abrasive about this it just gets really mind numbing eventually that we keep lowering the bar down down down down down and it's like hey it's fine to have expectations. And if you have a young QB in his prime and he isn't giving you at least prime Jake Delhomme arm talent it's time to keep looking for a QB.

      Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls

      Not exactly.  They show that Jones was making the most of the opportunities he had.  I was never a fan of his, but I think that the talent level in NE last year is somehow escaping the massive negative attention it should have received.  That team was terrible - especially the talent and coaching on offense - and everyone was still afraid of the wrath of hoodie. He'll have a chance to restart his career at some point.  He was a middle of the pack QB as a rookie.  Plenty of teams out there would love to make it up to middle of the pack at QB.
