at least the owned up to the fact that he blew it...Rivera would have blamed execution

Shanahan did to Freeman what Carroll did to Lynch 2 years ago but on every single snap he didn't get the ball after the score was 28-3

That's just it. At least Shanahan recognizes the fact he f*cked up. Rivera and Shula never see it that way, they think it's the players fault

 

Which is why we never see a single adjustment made by either retard

Like for real he is the sole reason why the Falcons lost the SB. Players were executing, but the timing of all those play calls in the 4th.... 

[Growl]

As with the Squawks game, it wasn't the decision to throw the ball that was a bad idea. It was just the playcall.

 

Don't throw the ball into the middle of the defense on the goal line. Don't throw the ball down the field on and 1.

Respect. Shula would've blamed it on Cam

[pstall]

His punishment? Baninished to coaching the 49ers.

Obvious not only after the game but during as well, if only to anyone not directly associated with the Atlanta team itself.

I don't agree with this at all but at least he's taking the blame for his part in it. Hindsight is 20/20. People here rip on Ron for the running the ball instead of going for the throat in situations like that. Fact of the matter is the run game was being bottled up at that point. They had just rushed for a loss of a yard. He called a passing play in order to try to get more yards and possibly first down to seal it, because the running game was no different than kneeling it.

The problem was not calling a passing play there, it was Matt Ryan taking the sack. In that situation you have to understand what the hell can happen on the play and what you can't allow happen and Ryan had a fair amount of time to get rid of the ball (more than Cam had on any single play in SB 50) and he took a sack. Not just a sack but a 10 yard sack. After that sack you needed yardage to get in field goal range again and running it wouldn't do it. Hardly Shanahan's fault that Jake Matthews held on the play. The loss is due to many different factors and Shanahan's style of offense is part of it (big plays, not being able to sustain drives keeping their D on the field) but he was not the biggest reason. Matt Ryan was a bigger reason for the loss than him. And Freeman whiffing on Hightowers' blitz on the strip sack was not on Shanahan. That's on Ryan not seeing that on the field and switching up protections and on Freeman for getting wrecked.

For one year, and then he will be fired. 

[GoobyPls]

Him and Ryan share blame. They only ran it 5 times in the 4th quarter even though they were averaging over 5 ypc
