We blitz'd Gamble on the 59-yard catch to lose us the game

We didn't blitz Gamble, his guy stayed in to block, which gives him the option to blitz or play an area. They maxed protected, there wasn't anyone in his area, so he rightfully blitzed.

Why the fug was he covering Harry Douglas instead of Julio or White? That's bullshit and terrible call by Mcterrible.

Can't believe nobody's talking about the multiple O-Line holding penalties that occurred on that play (while Matt Ryan was in the end zone) that should have gotten us a safety and the win...

we're back to the normal refs now. it'll never happen in our favor.

We were in zone, and both Julio and White lined up on the left side of the field opposite of Gamble. It wouldn't make sense for Gamble to follow them over there when we're in a zone, but I agree there was a whole lot of things that were wrong on that play. We should've been in some type of prevent defense anyway. There's no way they were going to run the ball, and Rivera has got to know that.

It wouldn't have made sense to switch Gamble over in a zone in a NORMAL situation. When we're on the last drive by Atlanta, when they're backed up with no timeouts and having to move quickly, you tell the secondary (after the game White had up to that point) "Gamble goes to White's side, no matter what." That's basic football there. Simple as that. Bad job on McDermott's part. Hopefully he learned a lesson. Gamble would have at least made it a tougher catch, if not knock the pass down.

    • Let's pause a sec and rewind. The hype for Bryce Young before we drafted him was beyond anything I've seen in a long time. If you're trying to tell me now after all the hoopla about his ability to make those around him better and the comparisons to hall of fame players across different sports leagues that him taking the next step this year fully hinges on Adam Thielen then we're probably already doomed. Thielen is not going to keep any defenses up at night. He has good hands and very low YAC. We have 4 young WR's ahead of him with potential that need crucial development and we certainly need to find out what we have in them sooner rather than later because regardless of what transpires this season the QB room should undoubtedly be getting a hard reset. Those reps need to go to the young WR's regardless. Bryce needs to step up and take ownership of the relationship between himself and his young receivers. That's why we drafted him.
