thofin21 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Because it's all part of a band of brothers process, iron sharpens iron. Actually Quinn is an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slamee101 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Didn’t see it but I guess sometimes you gotta laugh at a situation. I won’t begrudge him for “a laugh”. I think that’s unfair. Most of the time people put way too much stock in their perception. Was he supposed to “mean mug” or yell nonstop so the world could know he was taking it seriously?

I get you, and I've laughed out loud at lots of bad things at Falcon's games over the years, but it's a bad look for the HC. He'd have been better to have pulled a Smitty and started writing on a notepad. He could have written 'LOLOLOLOLOLOL' while grimacing and many of us would have thought he was doing something head-coachy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconinPA Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I can equate him laughing to when I laugh at these clowns, You have to laugh because you can't believe how inept this team is. Quinn had a slight break down is what I'm thinking. I have them all the time when I watch them. He will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an awkward time to be laughing right after we get stopped on 4th down with game on the line. People are gonna be people but I don't think I would laugh if I go stopped on 4th down.

Jpg428gggg Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 It looked like he was joking with one of the defensive players. I have no issue with it. Heck, it seemed to work because we got a stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geneaut Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 In his defense I wouldn't want a job where there's a camera on me the entire time either. Maybe he's at a point where he feels comfortable enough to be himself on the sideline all the time, and optics be ****ed. It's kind of a different world today than what some of us older guys remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Cause it's a game and their job. You don't laugh at work? They dont see it the same way the fans do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff_Man Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I think this board has some weird notion that smiling in the face of things going wrong is somehow not acceptable. Sometimes, you just laugh and say "Well of course that happened". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_legit_2_legit_2_quit Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Quinn is not the brightest bulb in the box. Julio was laughing last week when he dropped a pass on the one yard line. The team gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laugh but not right after something bad happens. If we just lost a client, I probably wouldn't laugh or tell a joke 1 minute after. 30 minutes later sure.

I don't know who your college football team is. But I can make a perfect comparison here. The preseason expectations of the 2018 Falcons were like the preseason expectations of the 2008 Georgia Bulldogs, and both of those teams crashed and burned at the biggest moments and had a disappointing letdown season. Both teams had key injuries (Georgia's was more at the line of scrimmage) and our arch-rivals the Gators and the Saints ended up being really good instead of us. I just hope the 2018 Saints doesn't win it all like 2008 Florida did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
