Week 1 NFL Real Men of Genius

Recommended Posts

I always loved the Real Men of Genius commercials and after watching Kyle Shanahan's 4th down play calling yesterday I thought he deserved his own, so I present....

Mr. Risky 4th Down Play Caller

Carolina Huddle presents: Real Men of Genius

(Real men of genius)

Today we salute you, Mr. Risky 4th Down Play Caller.

(Mr. Risky 4th Down Play Caller)

Steadfast in the belief you can move the ball on a defense that whipped your @ss all day, you’re a real maverick.

(He’s a maverick baby!)

Sure Brian Hoyer’s no Cam Newton, but he’s got moxie, and moxie plus an interior lineman named Fusco are all you need to win in the NFL.

(Fusco’s coming for you!)

You may have crapped the bed up 28-3 in the Super Bowl, but you’re Kyle Freaking Shanahan, 1st of your name, father of Matty Ice, and you’ve got all the answers.

(Falcons blew a 25-point lead!)

So crack open an ice-cold brew, Skeletor Jr., because we all know, when the going gets tough, you panic and become too predictable.

(Mr. Risk 4th Down Play Caller)

Yeah that was an idiotic call when they were not moving the ball at all.

I pied this as I agree to a point but I do think it was the right call.  His team wasnt going anywhere and I think he was playing the statistical average (were they averaging a couple yards a play) and thinking he could sneak one through.  Maybe not win the game but create a positive.  Cant really fault him for that.

But alas it failed miserably.  And yes.  Atlanta still lost the SB after blowing a 28-3 lead.

True...I see both sides...basically he had to make the call

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
