stizz Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 A losing season would mean Quinn is gone, which would bring mixed feelings because he's proven to be an excellent talent evaluator with TD. He just can't get it together on the field, especially in season openers. Baffling how the team is never prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to get on a long Dan Quinn tirade but what exactly has he left his imprint on? Super Bowl run was all Boy Wonder and the offense. As an overall coach, he has not really built any team identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stretch in November when we play all 6 of our divisional opponents in, what was it, 7? 8? weeks is going to go along way for our playoff aspirations. History tells us 0-2 is not a good place to be in, but even if we do go 0-2, if we can start playing good football it will self correct and we should start stacking wins against these lesser opponents. I still think opening week @ Minny with all the stuff we had going on was always going to be a next to impossible task. Would have taken a near flawless game. It's all media drama. The Bucs started 2-0 and proceeded to end the year 5-11. We started 6-1 in 2015 and ended 8-8. It's a long season. Fans just want to be coddled and told it's going to be ok. The Falcons lost by nothing but self inflicted wounds. It's frustrating, but it wasn't a talent issue. They just seemed to be going through the motions and got their a**es handed to them because of it. If they come out and play their football on Sunday, they'll win. It's really that simple. You'll never win turning the ball over 4 times. PeytonMannings Forehead, Lethal, A Pimp Named Slickback™ and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media loves to compare the nfl schedule to the likes of mlb and the nba, and push hard on the "EVERY GAME COUNTS" narrative...and they are right to a certain extent, but there is a lot more wiggle room and time to correct than the media gives credit for. Just gotta stack those wins at the right time, handle your division, and you will more than likely be sitting pretty come playoff time. Another thing to look forward to...Matt looked like garbage at times on Sunday. He rarely rarely plays poorly two games in a row. This is a much more winnable game imo. vel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do y’all want to take away credit from DQ for a good hire in Shanny but blame him for a hire like Sark? It’s hypocritical. Quinn gets credit for taking the falcons to the SB, like it or not. Organizational leadership success and failure is HEAVILY based around hiring an appropriate supporting cast and Quinn has shown in his time here that he isn’t too proud to admit a mistake and change course.

They are legit and loaded with talent. And as @vel and others have mentioned, you aren't going to beat the Vikings, on the road, Week 1, with 2 new rookies and 1 new fa along the oline, with new pieces on the dline, with guys returning from injury in the secondary, while transitioning to a new base defense, while turning the ball over 3 times.

Francis York Morgan Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 The Bucs were the terror of the NFC last year for the first few weeks. We were garbo at the start of 2016, arguably till week 11 or 12 when we got rolling. We were what, 6-5 at a point? Hard to take the first few weeks seriously at this point tbh, all about getting hot.

Sometimes there are cases where a coach will like a coordinators scheme if that side of the ball really stands out and he’ll keep him on, but most of the time it’s all turned over. I can promise you though that if DQ goes, the defensive coordinator is going with him. But...he IS the DC!

isproab Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 If this season goes south early, I think there will be new coach. I just analyze trends. There are really no trends that work in the Falcons favor. When was the last time we had a poor record after 4 or 5 games and went on a run to have a winning season. This is the organization that took forever to have back to back winning seasons. This is the same staff that had a super bowl debacle. I don't have confidence that if its sliding downhill, Quinn and the staff can turn it around. Or team players can turn it around. Falcons are not built that way. We have to have it all perfect in order to be a real contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerSteve Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 What has brought on this early talk of doom for Quinn wasn't the loss, it was the way they lost and looked ragged in every phase of the game. But it's still just one game. Another stinker Sunday, then you've got concerns about the bigger picture. If you stink it up in three or four games early on, you've got a downward trend and a team that does not look well-coached. Definitely going to wait and see a few weeks before I pronounce Quinn a dead head coach walking. Lethal and KRUNKuno 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
