Are We Really Not Going To Talk About This?!

It's lost in the sauce because the defense did way more than needed to. Win.

Burns was being double teamed a good bit but yes, he takes bad angles on QB's A Lot!

Lost in all the sauce, we actually had ANOTHER chance to win the game after Eddy missed his 2nd kick. 3rd and 1 from ATL's 46 yard line, our defense can make a huge stop and get us ONE MORE chance for a FG. Follow the link and go have a gander at 13:45.

Burns (who is known to do this SO MANY times), takes a bad angle yet again and let Mariota slip away on 3rd an 1 when it should have been a 5 yard loss and 4th down. It's just who he is at this point. It happens too frequently to warrant a huge pay day.

It happens a lot in crucial situations. 

The guy isn't as good as people make him out to be.

I would rather break the bank for Burns then complain for three years about how much we gave him… it’s a Huddle thing.

College defense...............the ghost of Rhule continues to haunt after his presence is gone.

Burns was definitely a no show all game. Donte was definitely doing his best swiss cheese halloween costume. Shaq missing tackles all over the field. Derrick Brown had some big plays, but that's about it. CJ got torched all game sans the gimme int that should have sealed the game.

I would have benched CJ for his effort, lack of it I mean, on the Byrd TD. I watched it and thinking I was mistaken, watched it again. He was trotting and trailing, as the guy matriculated into the end zone.

We will regret not taking those first rounders for Burns if true.  He just misses so many tackles and sacks and takes the worst angles and I don't think he is going to get any better at that.

Just stop.

And think about what you just typed.

Eddy missed his *2ND* kick.

And not just any kick.....his *2nd* Game-winning kick.

Had a shot in Regulation for the Extra point......Missed it (albeit due to the refs calling an awful penalty on DJ)

Had a shot in MUCH CLOSER range in OT after a big-time Interception return?   STILL missed it.

 

You can't expect the team to win if your Kicker doesn't get it done when it matters...

...and he got a glorified do-over in OT after his first miss in regulation to right that wrong...but he still failed.

OP has a point though. I thought the same thing after he missed that tackle. And it happens way too often to be honest. If Burns could just finish plays, Panthers probably wouldn't be able to afford to extend him. He'd easily average 20+ sacks a season, and some team would give the Panthers their entire draft for him. 

[electro's horse]

Mariota played great yesterday, and him being nimble in the pocket is kinda his thing. 

Burns was going for a kill shot there and might have ended the game if he'd connected. 

But yeah, hard not to notice that.

Don't get me wrong, Eddy is 95% to blame for this loss. But we STILL would have had another chance if Burns makes that play that he so often misses. I'm just calling out his constant bad angles in critical moments. But at that point, I think the morale of the team was already gone after those 2 clinching kicks....... But yeah, Eddy fugged us so hard.

The Marcus Mariotta lead Atlanta Falcons scored 37 by-god points on our supposedly good defense today. 

 

The Falcons are the 5th highest scoring team in the league. They are no pushovers this year.

Burns is the one that caused the bad pass that CJ INTed. But don't let me stop the hating.
