I want Good Coordinators Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 all we had to do was hand it off or waste a few seconds before the kneel to completely kill the clock and instead here we go punt time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtjackets1729 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I could figure that out in about 4 seconds. I have no idea what Mike Smith was thinking. He must not have watched the Giants game last year..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanfranfalcon Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 the decisions that MS can make at times shows his inexperience in pressure situations. this staff really cannot counter-punch very well...formula driven, without a doubt. can somebody PLEASE find this staff some creativity!!???

MilleniumFalcon Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Running the ball on 2nd & 3rd should've ran off a few more seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtycanadianbird Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I dunno.You run two plays you have 2 chances for a bad snap, bad hand off or fumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilleniumFalcon Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I dunno.You run two plays you have 2 chances for a bad snap, bad hand off or fumble.You could've had a bad snap for the rookie punter as well. I would take my chances with the run game, either way it worked out but for the future maybe we'll take a different approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Why didnt we just down the ball on 4th down? Why did we have to punt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCEagleATLFalcon Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 FWIW, Smitty took responsibility: On the mindset of the victory formation:“That was probably a coaching error. We need to run the ball. Not probably, it was a coaching error. In terms of the mindset that was not the proper way to do it, but we were able to get through it. We don’t play perfect games, we don’t coach perfect games.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanfranfalcon Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 coachin' not to lose!!! great example for your team...Smith should fine himself for that last bone-head series!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeytonMannings Forehead Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I don't have a problem the kneel downs. Anyone remember Herm Edwards and the Miracle in the Meadowlands? That's the reason the kneel down was invented.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-FI28rJamYWhat I do have a problem with is not punting the ball into the third row.

PokerSteve Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 This was really, really lame on the part of MS. They could easily have burned that 15 seconds without a punt. Instead they give the Eagles two more chances to win the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moist Words Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 The only way we run out the clock is with a first down. Either way you pick your poison. We all know Turner can, and will fumble the ball.I'm not saying I agree with punting to DJ at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4LoveoftheGame Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Running it would have for sure taken a few more seconds off the clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
