JayOzOne Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Question:Was our situation better for an incoming coach so far as personnel (including Piolitroff) was concerned than the Jets'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest facelessman07 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 So I think we can safely say losing the past 2 years was worth itIt had to happenBut it's only preseason tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Chief Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Question:Was our situation better for an incoming coach so far as personnel (including Piolitroff) was concerned than the Jets'?I think that question was answered during hiring season from "experts" and fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayOzOne Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I think that question was answered during hiring season from "experts" and fansJust paying attention to the different energy between us and the Jets. I was in the Todd Bowles camp when we were still shopping. He might have worked out, but I can't say that I'm unhappy at all with Quinn.

No matter who the coach was their #1 job would have been to fix the defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Flare Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Beating the Titans and Jets is cute, but what about the good teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DurtyBurdz155 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Beating the Titans and Jets is cute, but what about the good teams?Jets have a good defense and we drove the ball down the field on them with ease. Anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Chief Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Too bad the scrubs still play the same. Don't think I'm gonna waste time finishing this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Flare Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Jets have a good defense and we drove the ball down the field on them with ease. Anything else?They traditionally have a good defense, but their tackling makes me question how good they really are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzummo Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Beating the Titans and Jets is cute, but what about the good teams?Correction. Dominating. Embarrassing. Obliterating. Destroying. All accurate. Not just beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilleniumFalcon Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 They traditionally have a good defense, but their tackling makes me question how good they really are now.One of the best front 7's in football and probably the top CB in the game.

Sun Tzu 7 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Beating the Titans and Jets is cute, but what about the good teams?You know as well as I do we won't have an accurate read of this team until 5 games into the regular season,That being said through 2 preseason games there have been a few consistencies with the startersQuestionable run blockingOffense moves the ball down the field Defense can tacklePRESSURE!It's only preseason but you've been around long enough to have seen the exact opposite through 2 games into preseason... Can't run, can't block, can't tackle, & can't pressure.Who knows how it will translate into the regular season but so far I'm seeing the things I wanted to see from the starters minus the run game.

Oh4Real?! Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Night & day difference on defense & in a sense.. offense as well. In this entire Matt Ryan era I've never seen our defense attack like this. I'm not sure what kind of sorcery Dan Quinn is working but I want to see that a lot more often.

JayOzOne Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I call for a recount on that.0-16 staring right at us and nobody seems to care! But you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Flare Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 0-16 staring right at us and nobody seems to care! But you.Heh, thanks for the laugh. I'm just waiting for the team to get a real test before crowning them champs for beating Mariota and Fitzpatrick in exhibitions. This team's issues are in the second half, so two series in the first quarter don't amount to much. Otherwise, we don't lose the 2012 NFCCG.

likeriver Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) So I think we can safely say losing the past 2 years was worth itIt had to happenBut it's only preseason tho...Strangefully, yes. We owe Mike Smith a big thank you. He tanked at just the right time for us to get the best coach and players. He did what he had to do for the Falcons at the expense of his own reputation.

JayOzOne Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yah. Better to look good in some aspect than none. What if the starters were playing like the scrubs against the likes of the Titans and Jets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
