Hoopers false start at the end of game...

[Jpg428gggg 931]

It looked like we had the perfect play call there. Looked like some misdirection with Ito leaking out matched up on a lineman in space. Probably why Ryan dropped a couple f bombs.

[THEHEADCOACH 2,939]

That play may have went for six.

[HASHBROWN3 14,662]

Ito would still be running & MR lit Hooper up for that bonehead move!  He was pizzed off like we were & Hoop deserves it.  We need to stop with these mental errors bigtime!

[jonnyblooz 220]

Matt was pizzed. Read his lips, he said to the referee. "WHO?"  Then went and yelled at Hoop.

[gazoo 19,569]

They were using Ito on that snap exactly how I was hoping the6 would. 

That was a short pass that was going for a long explosive TD.

That's why Matt was so pissed. Smith would have scored

I thought they called it on #73

Agree. I think that was Shrader. Earlier Matt could be heard yelling at Hoop. He said “Come on Hoop”. 

The play the OP is describing is on Ryan. 

[Schwarzwald 18,672]

73; Schraeder, was called after Hooper did the mistake in question the OP is referring to.

2 false starts in 3 plays by 2 different players. Thankfully our K made it and it was enough to salvage a poor ending to a good game by our D.

And during the post game interview on 92.9 Ryan praised his line

Ryan is a standup guy then lol

Hooper did make an incredible catch earlier in the game.

That's true, but we will not stop with those sorts of errors. I love our team and I respect what this staff has done, but I have given up hope that we won't continually make a bone-headed mental mistake in the most crucial of situations.

We play stupid. We have always played stupid in the past.. we played stupid this game.. we will play stupid next week. 

Our only hope is that our athleticism and talent outweigh our mental errors.

Sorry... it's a fact. We aren't getting any awards from MENSA.

Which is ironic, since, thanks to his line, he isn’t standing up so much of the time.

Spot on man I thought Sark called a great 2nd half and not for the penalties our 4 min offense probably closes out that game and we win by 2 scores.

Jesus we love making these games hard on ourselves.

Dan Quinn and co's playcalling to finish the halves last 2 weeks has been really important in these close Ws aswell.

He said the same after 4 sack and 12 hit game. Just the usual BS.

That was a touch down!

[Borat 2,293]

2 boneheaded penalties; stopped the clock fee of charge (to say nothing of the missed points / chance to ice the game). 

 

[Dirtybird56 4,664]

Like 3 guys false started on that play, Hoop just got chosen by the refs and subsequently chewed out by Ryan lol

[WisFalcon 1,654]

After that false start you could hear Matt yell.

“What are you doing?!”

”Are you Fawking kidding me?!”

”next play next play”

[paulitik 15,113]

It would not be the Dan Quinn Falcons if we didn’t blow a double digit lead and there was an idiotic drive killing penalty that keeps us from controlling the clock. Thank goodness for Tevecchio’s 56 yarder because that could have easily ended a tie game.

Underrated first post

[Falconsfan567 35,212]

Am I the only one that didn't see the false starts actually happen? Normally I'm spot on when a guy moves early but I saw 3 false starts get called against the Falcons and I didn't see it happen and ESPN never showed a replay. The last one on Schraeder I was celebrating Matt getting the Giants to jump and then they announced the penalty and I about lost it.

I wasn’t sure that I saw the second false start on Schraeder, but others I was watching the game with said he did move before the giants, so I believe them. The first false start on him and the hooper false start were legit, I saw them both live. It’s unbelievably frustrating that we false-started twice in short yardage like that with the game on the line.
