jake and john lost another game for us

[speedy233]

john fox called for us to go for it on 4th down and jake threw another pick plus jake waws overthrown open reciever

lol, what else would we have done? Going for it on 4th down was the obvious choice with how bad the defense was playing. Jake had a pretty good game other than the stupid decision when he underhanded the ball for grabs. The INT he threw didn't hurt us. In that situation I'd rather a qb throw a pick than an incomplete pass out of bounds. He was about to be sandwiched and threw it to his best receiver.

The defense was bad. None of our blitzes got to the QB and they converted so many 3rd downs it was painful to watch. I just think we don't have the talent in the secondary really. A bunch of overrated guys and then you have some young guys with them who aren't ready to play.

You're an idiot if you think Jake lost this game for us. Fox, on the other hand, can definitely take a huge share of the blame. His clock management was shitty as usual, and his defense was as soft as ever.

[GRWatcher]

Defense & special teams played a huge part in the loss today. It was, in all fariness, a total team loss.

So get off your soap box. It's broken.

Can we ban this guy for being a complete fool? WTF did Jake do wrong, except for over throwing some guys?

I don't completely blame the secondary, because I think it's the scheme and lack of pressure more than anything else. However, it is sad that Captain Munnerlyn looked better than the veterans. I've always felt Gamble was way overrated. Now, he's also overpaid.

Captain was a sure tackler and definitely stood out, but I wonder are the schemes a result of the players capabilities?

Early in the game they were playing so far off receivers on third downs it was embarassing to watch Matt Ryan drop it down to a guy standing right at the first down marker with no one on him. Later in the game I noticed guys on receivers closer, but they were still making plays (Great QB and Tony Gonzales is amazing).

Godfrey was also out of place on the long pass to Gonzales for the TD.

The fumble by Deangelo Williams and the blocked punt hurt us most.

Keep in mind that even though Jake threw a couple bad passes, a couple passes of his passes that were dropped should have been caught (King and Smith come to mind).

If you think Jake lost this game, you really are a moron. Sorry to say that, but it's true.

What we saw today was the team we though we'd see during the preseason: a team with offensive firepower in Smith and the backs, but with a suspect defense.

Jake played well, I'll give him his props. Fox on the other hand, HORRIBLY coached game.

Captian looked the best b/c we have not had a full year of coaching him. Wait till next season...he will miss tackles and passively watch WR's run by him. Gamble, Marshall, Harris, Manning Jr. all had better 1st years with us...WTF!?

[speedy233]

jake played ok but that pick sealed up the game he could have trown a better ball

Sadly, I was thinking the same thing. All of our DBs seem to regress after they've been with us for a while. Munnerlyn only got the break up at the end because he doesn't know yet that he's supposed to back up 15 yards and then go in for the tackle.
