JBourneMurkedU Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Without ABE our chances of winning a playoff game is Slim at best.. One and Out !! Way to go Coach Smith..Our pass rush has been inconsistent at best this year. I really don't see how losing Abe all of a sudden makes us crap.

sdogg Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 If this happened in the first half, I wouldn't put blame on anyone. It happened in the 4th quarter of a meaningless game we were losing by 12 points. Absolutely inexcusable to have Abraham in this game at that point. Every key player should have been out by then, but they are still in even with Abe hurt. If this costs us our first playoff game, I'd be 100% fine with Mike Smith being fired and I think he's the best coach we've ever had.This right here. No way can Arthur Blank accept any explanation for it. There is none. None at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Cannot believe that he risked his starters health on a meaningless game.And for the fans, don't even bother criticizing him because it was you who wanted us to "blow them out and start our starters to maintain momentum" which is definitely the worst idea I've heard.I never wanted that, I wanted to play them through the first half, pull them after that regardless. Anything after that was bulls***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Tzu 7 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 It would be nice also if they would at least give an update on him of some kind.They did.Officially His return is "questionable" for the game.Unofficially there's no way we see him again today and we won't know anything until the playoffs... Unless its really bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazoo Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The apoplectic fanbase is going to come unhinged over the next 2 weeks speculating the end of the world as we wait to see if Abe plays.I suppose after the Mayan prophecy didnt pan out they have to have something to worry about.

Steampunk Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 If Abe cannot play Smith is going to hear about this decision to play the vets bigtime. Mediais already feasting on this....wait for it, going to be a tidal wave of beat downs coming to Smitty, he deserves it imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRF24 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Stfu chicken little's with all this fire coach Smith talk we'll win some playoff games and maybe even the SB and all of you cliff diver's will be like: "He's the best coach we've ever had."

It seems that no matter how well we do in the regular season, we simply have some bad coaching decisions and playing come playoff time. i don't understand it. At least the stinking giants are now eliminated from the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilleniumFalcon Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yes, it didn't make any sense. What do you gain? Some little momentum? What can be the consequences? Look at Abraham!Abraham is old and needed the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 John Abraham shouldn't have even been dressed today. Today was just a gigantic fail by Mike Smith in every way. The team played like sh*t and loss with their starters in the entire game, and he got the only pass rusher hurt bad.Just terrible. Terrible. Terrible. It's the first time in 5 years I have ever been pizzed off at Mike Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daybumper Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Mike Smith the next fall guy for our playoff debacle ...see it coming a mile away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehardfalconsfan Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 from pat y...pretty much nailed it. Why bother? I still don’t get the decision by Atlanta coach Mike Smith to play almost all of his starters in a game that didn’t matter. There was nothing to be gained and plenty was risked and that could end up haunting the Falcons. Cornerback Dunta Robinson left the game with a head injury and didn’t return. Veteran cornerback Asante Samuel also appeared to aggravate a shoulder injury that’s been bothering him for weeks, but he did return. Defensive end John Abraham, who never should have been on the field so long, suffered what appeared to be an ankle injury in the fourth quarter and was carted off the field. The Falcons could have gotten the same outcome – and no injuries to their starters – if they had started their backups. If Robinson, Samuel and Abraham aren’t healthy for the playoffs, Smith’s decision to play them is going to draw lots of criticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hustle Up Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah that's what my fear was...I mean I understand you want to try to stay sharp but it's just not worth the risk of losing a key player. He played all the starters and they played like $hit anyway. I don't mind the loss at all big deal, but now you may not have Abe for the playoffs. This could possible be an incredible disaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
