me4falcons Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 162 yards rushing and 475 total yards (500) on offense by the Browns. If not for Hoyer trying to serve the game on a silver platter we lose this game out-right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons Rage Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Take your but elsewhere. Bad decision by smith period. Never seen such idiotic bullshyte. Worst part is he is getting worse at it. His game Managment skills regress every game. It's just too big for him. He is not head coach material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcons_own_nfc_south Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 You can throw all the stats out of window... Offense and defense did enough to put us in the winning situation but coach Smith screwed up again as he did in the Lions game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlrfalcon Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 If there was a poll right now listed as to why we lost this game, I guarantee you at least 90% would say Smith's time management was the reason.Our defense was bad but it also did have a couple of clutch moments in the first half and a few key interceptions. Stats like yards gained are often very misleading as points are the only stat that matters.Ryan was also off his best but I would say Hoyer stunk it up even worse.

Offense and defense did enough to put us in the winning situation but coach Smith screwed up again as he did in the Lions game.This^^^a win is a win or should have been a win for us Trufant, Julio, Roddy, and Matt did enough to lead us to win only to be screwed up by the head coach. A good head coach would have let the clock run down and made the browns use their timeouts and would have drove the dagger right throw the hearts of the browns with a last second field goal, not hand the other team the game. If I was the browns head coach I would send an email to Mike Smith and thank him for the game he gift wrapped for them by calling that BS timeout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst part is he is getting worse at it. His game Managment skills regress every game. It's just too big for him. He is not head coach material. I just got back from the game. Trust me, he was getting boo'ed for that. After we made that field goal to put us up 24, me and everybody we were sitting around was looking at each other like "Yea, we just blew another game". Love my Falcons, but this is heart wrenching to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time should be up for TD as well as smitty.I know for a fact that we have a coaching problem. I see glimpses of talent on the team. But once again, I can't be sure because the same coach that has problems making in game decisions has problems making roster decisions. We don't know what we have because there is an honest inability in his evaluation of players on this team and a complete inability to utilize players in the proper way. He is a failure. He has been given plenty of opportunity with plenty of talent, he just doesn't know what he is doing. He has very many flaws and very few good attributes as a head coach. He is more suited for a coordinator position than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Falcon_1184 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Is it a talent issue or our coach can't produce any playerI honestly believe it is coaching I think if we would have drafted clowney had we the #1 pick last year we would have found a way to make clowney look like a bust. A good example of this is with John Abraham his last year here everybody said he was too old, his sacks were against garbage teams, and when he goes to Arizona and is put in a good defensive scheme he was an absolute beast. I really think that the talent is their for the defense to be really good with Mass, Maponga, Goodman, and others to become a talented defense lets see what a new coach does with these guys. Look no further than the Niners as an example of coaching Singletary had the same defensive players as Harbaugh and made them look like scrubs, then they hired Harbaugh and boom the Niners are contenders every year.

me4falcons Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 I just don't want Smitty to get the ax and TD to get a pass. Time to clean house in the front office, coaching staff and,the field with the players. maybe I'm upset but it's what I feel Mr Blank needs to do.

AREA 51 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 As I mentioned before, the defense is somewhat to blame, but teams today are so efficient at running the two minute offense, leaving a the other team with as little time as possible is becoming a standard procedure in the NFL. That timeout allowed Cleveland to get the ball back with 44 seconds and three time outs, needing only a field goal to win. Even bad teams would find that a favorable situation.

Cali_Falcon_1184 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 That would make no sense why have a new coach with a lame duck GM.TD has had his shares of good and bad draft picks, and some poor moves when it came to personnel decisions but I really can't see Blank firing him at this point since most of the games we lost like the London Game and today's game have all fallen on the coaches. If a new coach of Dimitroff's choosing can't do nothing with the players TD drafted than I can see both of them getting the axe and blank cleaning house. I mentioned it on my earlier post Mike Singletary had the same personnel on defense as Jim Harbaugh has now and Singletary made those players look bad and the GM hired Harbaugh and with the same personnel Harbaugh turned that team around to contenders year in and year out. Now if a new HC and DC can't do nothing with the guys that TD drafted like Mass, Goodman, Maponga, and the new HC flops his first year we are going to be in for a rebuild from GM on down.

Sun Tzu 7 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Who cares. We had the game won.Exactly... They had this game....At the very worst Cleveland should have had 40 seconds and one timeout to get into field goal range which would have completely changed their strategy.

The Chunk Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I knew we had a bad defense, but seriously? Even with the interceptions that was possibly the worst NFL defensive display i have ever seen. When the pressure is on the qb to score every time your defence steps off the field, how do you expect him to play? Especially when hes running for his life. I still cant believe how truly horrible this defence is. The funny thing is that people were saying we were playoff bound after last week. Could you imagine this D against a true playoff calibre team? It would be a horror movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilleniumFalcon Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Need some ball hawks, upgrade at each LB position and an elite DE. Tyson Jackson and Paul Soliai were bad pick ups, they haven't really upgraded the interior defensive line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
