Falcons are expected to promote from within for their defensive coordinator. Two options: DBs coach Marquand Manuel & LBs coach Jeff Ulbrich


I PREDICT HERE AND NOW THAT THE FALCONS WILL MISS THE PLAYOFFS NEXT YEAR

Sacrifices to the god of fan pressure.

Seems akin to sacking Donatell.

Hello Tom.

agree; while we sometimes hate MM's lack of killer instinct....he plays the odds, numbers and clock. MM runs three times there and Crosby makes a FG. Atlanta went for the throat and it failed them

The good news is that we have definitive proof of when the 4 minute offense should start:

4:40 in Fourth Q, up 16 points and in position for FG to go up 3 scores.

Other rules, don't get sacked; if it inevitable, step up.

No ATL didn't go for the throat. They already had the throat and the game wrapped up. They tried for the throat with a beautiful bow on it. While they were trying to tie the bow NE kicked them in the nuts and strangled them out.

He's probably talking about us deferring in the NFCC game 2 weeks ago.

Exactly.

ThunderDan gets a little too Jacked Up at times and misses the TRUTH.

He still likely believes he finished ahead of me in the Packerrats Pro Pickem. He is hilarious.

You might want to place all the blame on how Atlanta called one series of plays late in the fourth quarter; but if you look at the video ( see LINK below) you will clearly see the other side of the coin and what Tom Brady and Company did to crawl back into and win that game after being 25 points down.

You cannot take away the Tom Brady passing.

Please see the Video at the bottom of this LINK:

I believe this is a much bigger story than an Atlanta decision to throw the ball on a second down and long with what? ... under 4 minutes remaining in regulation:

Here is that story ... the total story:

The Greatest Comeback Ever

Tom Brady’s season started with a four-game suspension and ended, in dramatic fashion, with his fifth championship after the Patriots overcame the largest deficit in Super Bowl history.

It was 1 and 10 at the 22 yard line. That is a 39 yard FG.

You're right, I thought that Jones' miracle catch was further out. They should have run on first down. But once they lost yardage, I agree with passing.

HH, they did run on 1st down and passed on 2nd. They should have run on 1st, 2nd and 3rd down and kicked a FG on 4th.

[ThunderDan]

Pugger, who knows what Woodbuck is really thinking. Here is what started the conversation.

MM wins that game for ATL if he is the head coach. Why the fuck is ATL passing with 4 minutes left in the game up 8 when they are already in FG range? Horrible.

MM doesn't even know to accept the ball on offence when his teams Captains get the coin toss call right.

MM rides on the coattail of Aaron Rodgers.

So Woody's comment makes no sense. He is criticizing MM for deferring 2 weeks ago when that is exactly the same thing the ATL coach did in the Super Bowl. Therefore MM wouldn't have won the game for ATL if he was the coach for the last 4 minutes of the game.

My comment was specifically about the last 4 minutes and how MM likes to finish games. Somehow Woody thinks that has something to do with deferring the opening kickoff.

[ThunderDan]

I believe this is a much bigger story than an Atlanta decision to throw the ball on a second down and long with what? ... under 4 minutes remaining in regulation:

It certainly isn't. It was still 2nd and 11 from the 23. They could have gone victory formation for 2nd and 3rd down and it is over. Instead they try a pass and get sacked. It was then 3rd and 23 from the 35. Now I can understanding throwing a 5-8 yard completion to move the FG back under 50 yards. But they had no reason to pass from the 23 on 2nd down.

[Harlan Huckleby]

HH, they did run on 1st down and passed on 2nd. They should have run on 1st, 2nd and 3rd down and kicked a FG on 4th.

I really don't remember the game very well. But they lost significant yardage on two plays, a penalty and sack? As soon as they lost yardage, I am fine with their passing to get a shorter FG.
