Conservative playcalling on both sides of the ball cost us this game

In the first half we had a chance late to go up 2 TD's....we ran the ball twice in a row. Exactly what the Giants were expecting. On defense we play soft zones most of the game and give up god knows how many yards rushing.

Conservative playcalling cost us. It wasn't execution..it was playcalling...this one is on the coaches

This has far more to do with the Players then the Coaches, it's not the Coaches fault Players are out of position and aren't tackling, this loss was on the defense and the defense alone.
Are you fuging kidding me? COACHING DICTATES WHERE PLAYERS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE!!! This one is on the coaches, all the way around...period.

agreed on zone poo, disagree alot on the run game. stacking the box didnt help with missed tackles or not getting in the right gap (wards huge run on 2nd giants drive of OT). this is exactly what happened to tampa against us. and we did the EXACT same poo. give their line credit for owning our subpar DL, but cant miss tackles or gaps that lead to big runs.

we tried to blitz and they picked them up. we tried blitzing on the outside and they ran right up the gut. 1 blitz worked TDs. other than that blitz = fail tonight. it tended to leave a hole where the blitzer came from and eli just dumped it right in the vacated spot.

Go back and watch the game again. We weren't stacking the box against the run as much as we were zoning the short passes. We weren't ever dedicated to stopping the run. We like to rush our front four and play zone behind it. Tonight it cost us.

Missed tackles on both sides. We didn't miss many tackles. Most of the time we were out of position...due to f*cking playcalling.

Uhm no, our rush defense execution was lacking to say the least. With that said, that draw play on 3rd and 7 in OT should have been accounted for, but some how caught us off guard and exposed our fatigue.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
