FalconsIn2012 35,693 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I really hope Quinn isn’t calling the plays on important downs. Yes, Koetter is struggling to score points but he is still far more qualified to call offensive plays than Quinn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thanat0s 4,431 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 He likely just meant making the call to go for it, not the specific play. Falcons Fan MVP, EddieK, JDaveG and 7 others 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

high impact 2,367 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Bet it is Quinn calling for them to go for it on 4th down. Not the actual play. Ergo Proxy, JDaveG and FalconsIn2012 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JD dirtybird21 22,493 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 How’s that odd? Quinn is the head coach. Head coaches choose whether to go for it on 4th down, punt, etc. JDaveG, Knight of God, Chitown2ATL_Falcon and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Quinn's lost the team. Also Sanu drops a wide open pass from Ryan in the end zone inexplicably? Let’s face facts the players are letting their performance do the talking! I’m willing to bet the farm they hate Quinn’s relaxed coaching style, take advantage of all the perks but are quietly undermining him at every chance! I’m sure it’s a group of players doing the dirty work! But the players are justified because Quinn has lost the team!!! It’s now just a matter of how long it’s going to take Blank to act! A apology letter to the newspaper won’t cut it this time!!! Etowah 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I posted in another thread that I trusted that meant whether to go for it on 4th down, etc. and not actually calling plays. FalconsIn2012 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DC’s go to bed early the night before playing us. Shanny's offense with a bunch of no names besides their TE and QB are averaging over 30 pts per game and are unstoppable on the ground. They're 3-0. It's coaching. Our offense banks on players beating their man straight up without any help from the OC to scheme them open. This isn't street ball man. Everybody in the NFL is talented. Talent matters but coaching and leadership gives you the ultimate edge. Edited September 29, 2019 by The Don™ sdogg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
