Bluedawg 1 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Check out what Roddy said ! Is there more of this ?http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/150900/falcons-foiled-as-offense-falters-late-in-fourth-quarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slamee101 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Which is one of the main reasons he has to be fired. You can't tell me after this, the London debacle, almost blowing it in Carolina and the lack of adjustments/conservative play calling this season that the players still BELIEVE in Smitty as a coach. Nobody believes in him and those players have been playing football for years. Their football IQ is much higher than people realize. They know stupid decisions when they see them. I absolutely feel like they're sitting there saying "WTF?!?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS91 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 This says a lot to me. Roddy is the guy who is willing to say what everyone else on the team is thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4LoveoftheGame Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 We need the players to start saying something if we want changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vel Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yes. You can't help it. They know the real deal. First Mass, now Roddy. Stupid decisions and losses cause questions. Stupid decisions but wins don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlrfalcon Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Roddy is not really putting out anything major here - he did not call out specific plays or decisions just the general tempo we ran at. And, even then, he did not say it was totally wrong just that he thought it could have been faster.On the other hand, I will admit that Ryan as usual is ready to back up the coaches 100% with the stupid call on 3rd down to Hester. I wish he would realize that he could call Smith a total moron and his job and salary would still be safe as Ryan is the face of this franchise.

He's not happy I'm sure but QBs calling out people leads to a bunch of scrutiny and people talking about how they lack leadership, etc. Incredibly stupid as it may be that's what it is and we all know Matt is the king of playing things by the book in interviews, etc.Plenty of others can and will. We all know it was arguably the most boneheaded decision we've seen in the NFL this season. People that don't even know much about football know that. If the Falcons were more popular we'd hear more about it. He won't be the coach here much longer and I'm sure Matt realizes that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest facelessman07 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 They are way past the point of simply questioning the coaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidious Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Our gangster mob boss looking owner should break Mike Smith's hands so that ******* ******** can never call another timeout again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
