We can't keep Ron Rivera or Mike Shula heading into bye week after that

[Mr. Scot]

DG is the wildcard here.

 

its been said he's really running things. i think JR trusts his judgment.

 

It will be after the season though.

 

I like to think this image goes a long way toward answering the question of how much leeway Gettleman has.

I think Olsen is the perfect guy to call out this pathetic excuse of a coaching staff.  I really hope he does.  

[Paa Langfart]

I think if they fire Shula on Monday, Ramsdell could use the 2 weeks to seamlessly take over.

 

They won't, but I think they could.

 

 

Seamlessly take over the shitty playcalling that doesnt play to any of our offensive strengths ?  I would hope ramsdell would be somewhat more competant than shula otherwise why was he hired?

[davos]

Someone better be fired on Monday.  They're not producing an NFL competent team. There's has to be something done.  

[Marc Anthony]

...still clueless.

So are you. Low IQ I see.

It's not a stupid decision, given that Gano is excellent from that range, it got the Falcons to waste their timeouts, and gave us enough time for another drive even if we failed provided our defense held. If we tried to pass, we might not have gotten any yardage, and the Falcons would have a minute left - with timeouts - to score. 

 

yes it was stupid and most people knew it while it was unfolding.

which is why I very little confidence in his judgement and why I am confident he holds a lot of the blame .

Logic overruled you.

Can't fire Ron and Shula simply bc we would have no one to realistically finish out the year. Firing both and making McDermott interim leaves u with too many coaching holes.

I keep coming back to all the stupid in this post.

 

Even if Gano was the best kicker in the league, you want to give him the easiest FG attempt possible. A 46 yarder is not a gimme for any kicker.

 

Yes, Atlanta wasted their timeouts, but if you pick up a first down, they have to use their timeouts, you burn more time, AND Gano gets an easier opportunity.

 

Carolina got an opportunity for another drive, with :22 on the clock and starting at about their own 20, with no timeouts. What's a more desirable position for an offense down a point: on the opponent's 30 with 1:30 left, or on your own 20 with :22 left and no timeouts? The last drive barely counts as an opportunity.

 

"If we tried to pass, we might not have gotten any yardage, and the Falcons would have had a minute left - with timeouts - to score."  Well, Carolina ran it, missed a long and difficult FG try, and Atlanta didn't even have to try to score. Obviously hindsight is 20/20, but if Gano makes the 47 yarder, I'm still coming on here to b*tch about Rivera's decisions. A positive outcome doesn't justify poor process, and Rivera's process on the last three plays was about as bad as it gets. I'm not in the take a shot at the end zone camp, because that's high risk/low reward, given the circumstances, but if you draw up a high percentage, quick hitting pass play, the clock runs and you have a chance at picking up a first down, burning more clock, and making the GW FG attempt easier.

[FattyFatFat]

Get ready for disappointment.

[mav1234]

Unless some of you are wanting to pay their salaries, don't expect Rivera or Shula to be gone.

Ok troll, done with you.

Ok troll, done with you.

 

You were done as soon as you thought you could change 180 on a dime and it be okay just because you wrote something.
