Blitz28179 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Our punter bosher IMO is what caused the easy comeback by the seaturds by giving them great field position in the 2nd half.He shouldnt be given a day off.Also not 100% sure but is he the one that choked on the squib kick at the end of the game too?

I haven't seen or read much about that. I figured they wanted to keep it away from Leon, but why not kick it through endzone like he had most of the game? Seemed weird at the time, but I was reeling from the FG and the whole second half. That was quite a game. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamnesiac34 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 The punter choked, Mike Smith choked and I choked on my chicken wings as I watched the final minutes of that game.But today, all I care about is the big, fat, greasy, beautiful W !!!!

Congrats.A squib kick is suppose to go to the middle of the field where a big fullback is suppose to get it instead of washington..Well watching the replay the guy(bosher?) totally whiffed on the kick and it turned out to be an onside kick.

Smiler11 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Yeah we sure did our best to lose yesterday - from Bosher, to Mike Smith calling a time out with like 13 seconds left to Matt Ryan throwing that horrible INT.The win is all that matters and we have plenty of areas to improve improve on.

Aftermath Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 At least he didn't throw and untimely interception or let the Seahawks score 21 in the 4th quarter. We got bigger problems that the punter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattywankenobi Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Bosher was terrible yesterday but there are at least 3 other reasons why the Falcons almost lost yesterday before punting and squib kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandiegofalcon Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Smith probably thought Bosher would shank the kick out of bounds or mishit it short to Leon so they opted to have him keep in on the field haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes way more sense that he just made a mistake vs trying an onside kick. My newest Falcon friend sitting next to me almost needed CPR after that kick. There were some serious emotional swings for both sets of fans yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaptain Krazy Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Plenty of mistakes yesterday, but i will single out Bosher as - unlike the others - not really making up for it.Smitty - bad decision on the TO, saving too much time on the clock. BUT he clearly had his team ready to go, and his leadership is obvious when hearing from the players (there's no Charles Woodson questioning the schemes or gameplan with the Falcons, the players all love him)Ryan - the 2nd INT was a poor decision, regardless of whether there should have been PI. In that situation, the safer passes and runs made more sense. BUT he made the plays when he had to. His last two passes were right where they had to be. The offense doubled what SEA had been giving up - so folks complaining about Ryan are just showing how dumb they are.Nolan - never made an adjustment to slow down (forget about stopping) Miller. BUT i disagree with those complaining about the lack of blitzing. As we've discussed regarding the read-option, the key is not to do what GB did - allow for big plays from the QB's legs. Wilson did what the D is forcing him to do - throw the ball accurately down the field. sometimes, you have to tip your cap to a player being great.Bosher - multiple punts that were poor, allowing SEA the ball outside of their 30, plus the squib that became a bad onside kick. What did he do to make up for those mistakes? kick it deep on most of (but not all) the other kickoffs? Granted, the punter doesn't have as many opportunities to make up for mistakes, but he certainly did nothing yesterday to justify his draft pick. yikes. Falcons need him to step up, hopefully the butterflies are gone now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Negatorris Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 He had a few short punts in the 4th, but the defense was pathetic. They are the ones to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons Talon Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Smith sent a message to the arrogant Pete Carroll....on side kick and even if u get it...u won't skore u turd. Smitty owns Petey! What if Carroll had taken the field goals instead of over on downs? He is Seattles clown...own it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb4242 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 What was the squib kick deal? I haven't seen or read much about that. I figured they wanted to keep it away from Leon, but why not kick it through endzone like he had most of the game? Seemed weird at the time, but I was reeling from the FG and the whole second half. That was quite a game. Congrats.Said this in another thread, but Bosher didn't try to squib kick that ball. Smith said it was supposed to be a squib though & he just kicked it too easy. But the endzone angle replay showed that Bosher never followed through with his leg on the kick and immediately went after the ball like it was an onside kick. My personal guess is that Smith wanted a squib kick and somewhere between Smith, Stutlovich, Armstrong, & Bosher what Smith has wanted became lost in translation. Bosher went out there thinking it was an onside kick because of a miscommunication somewhere. Smith didn't know at the post game press conference where the breakdown occurred, or if he did, he chose not to address it publicly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
