Superior game plan by Ron & Co. led to ATL win

First, this tweet,

Biggest takeaway from #Falcons locker room: #Panthers came out w/ different looks than were on film. Atlanta didn't adjust quickly enough.

 

 

Then this from Roddy White;

 

 

But White also said some things that pointed directly to coaching as the reason for yesterday's loss, and he didn't say it to shift blame or throw the coaching staff under the bus. White said this in an attempt to explain what went so terribly wrong offensively against the Panthers. "They mixed up a bunch of different coverages and didn't play a whole lot of man coverages, just dropped back," White said. "They dropped eight, dropped seven, and they rallied to the ball. They did a good job of that and kind of confused us early on in the game, and they did some coverages that we weren't prepared for. And we made some adjustments at halftime, but they did a good job, man."

What?  An opponent says that we gameplanned well, changed things up and made great adjustments?  And showed a bunch of creative looks on offense and defense?

 

Exactly the opposite of all the bitching and whining on the huddle for the past few months. What has changed?  Has Shula and Rivera suddenly changed 180 degress or is it possible that it took this long to get everyone healthy, plug in the speed we needed and the team has gelled into a cohesive unit.  Maybe there was nothing wrong with Shula and Rivera to begin with they just didn't have the right players in the right places to run their schemes due to all the issues we have had on this team.

 

Classy of White to admit they got outcoached and outplayed.

That was my biggest take from this. We as fans sometimes get too passionate and let our emotions cloud our observations.

Are we sure it wasn't tha ginga?

I'd say he's part of it.

But go back to Rivera's DC days. Nobody was better at stopping elite QBs (he all but owned Peyton). Knowing how to attack opposing QBs and offenses is Rivera's biggest strength.

It's in other areas that he's lacking.

Oh I know rivera is probably one of the best if not the best defensive minds. But I look back at his comments that he leaves the coordinators to do their jobs. No doubt he was in meetings and gave suggestions though.

Also, the offense scored their first two possessions, allowing the defense to pin their ears back and really go after Ryan, and INT's.

 

Take not Rivera/Shula! Offense and scoring, can help your defense (or team in general)!! Embrace it! Don't be afraid of it!

THIS.

If you have a good pass rush, this plays right into your strengths.

Obviously you have to let your coordinators do their jobs, but as a head coach, you have to put your own stamp on your team.

 

Look at the top head coaches in the league right now, that's what they are doing.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
