when we get in field goal range, we play conservative--for the FG.  Good teams go for the the throat and attempt these things called "touchdowns."  In Charlotte, "touchdowns" are as rare as drop kicks or safeties. 

The players on this team are poorly coached--finding out who to keep and who to dump is going to be the real test of the next GM. 

Derrick Brown, as I have been saying, is the best player on the team--not even close.

I was curious why they didn’t try to score a TD. I never like gambling on a kicker.

Had the Panthers gone for a TD and scored, they would have been up 12-7, contingent on the outcome of the two-point conversion. If they miss the conversion, an Atlanta TD wins it outright.

Up until Ridder’s INT, Atlanta moved the ball with ease the drive before the GWD. With 1st and Goal at the 1 yard line with 1:41 left, you have to keep the ball out of Atlanta’s hands at that point. You simply do not give the Falcons the ball with the chance to win/tie.

Playing for the FG was the smart move. Especially for a terrible short yardage team. The only baffling play late was why the Falcons didn't just let Chuba score. He was dumb enough that he was trying to score and the Falcons were dumb enough to stop him at the goal line. If they let him score they're receiving a kickoff with a little under two minutes in the clock needing a TD to tie or win the game.

I felt just the opposite last week.  We had it inside at the three, the run game was working, and we dropped back to pass twice and went backwards.  Should have been more conservative.

I see the strategy at the end of the game, but earlier, when there were inside the 10, I thought they played it safe.

No it wasn't. If the weather was poo and it was two contenders in the field people would've still shown up to see it.

If it was sunny and 60 there would have been 4x the amount of people there at least. Might have been falcons fans but you are bonkers if you don’t think the weather was a huge deterrent today.

It was, but I was thinking more in terms of the pattern they have exhibited in the past and earlier in the game.  I don't think I said specifically during the last drive--but instead of taking knees, I guess it is more risky to run Hubbard up the gut with both arms around the ball?  They might have let him score--I dunno

Yup, it set up to play out just as we needed.  There was zero need to give the ball back to the Falcons.  As well as our D played today all it would have taken is a busted coverage or a PI on a deep ball to get them in scoring range if we got the TD.  Yes, FGs are boring (former FG kicker speaking) but when you are dealt a winning hand, just don't fug it up.

We do seem to abandon what is working.  Personally, I was excited about this staff based on the preseason hype.  I can wait to see all of them--except Evero--gone.

I was at a packed BOA stadium versus the Saints in monsoon like conditions years ago.  Rain hindered the crowd today, but it wasn't going to be close to a respectable attendance even without the rain.

Many of you misread my post--I was not talking about the end of the game--that was the right play--but earlier, on third down, I think we played to conservatively and took the FG--I wanted to see a pass in the end zone--maybe they are protecting Young--but I was not sure making the score 7-6 was smart--it turned out Okay, but if we had not had that game winning drive, many of us would be speculating that decision.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
