Sun Tzu 7 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 So as of last week the Falcons talent level was terrible and the usual it was all TDs fault and blah blah. Unless I was mistaken, other than the punter and kicker, this was mainly the same team and same players that came out today. Has it been talent or coaching? I've thought coaching but I'm curious to what everyone says now after a good performance. And yes, it was one game, tons of things can still happen. But let's all take a moment to stop and think about all the pain the Saints fans are in and be sure to soak it up.

The Don™ Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 It was that terrible defensive scheme Quinn was running and only works when you have 4 (Thomas, Kam, Sherman, Wagner) All Pros on your defense. Koetter still sucks IMO and should not be back next year. He's lucky the defense played great today or this game could have gone either way. Talent is good enough to be competitive every game.

I agree Koetter sucks. Would love to get Mike McDaniel as OC from SF.

Only problem you risk with that is if he impresses, he would be a hired as a head coach immediately. You'd have to commit to make him your head coach.

Both sides of the ball played much better Yeah possibly. Definitely didn’t look like the same offensive play calling we have seen the first 8 games. Never thought of that but definitely makes sense. If that’s the case then maybe Knapp OC if we can’t get Mike McDaniels as our new OC. But please Blank we have to let Koetter go! ⚡Slumerican⚡, capitan and PokerSteve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realsurfin Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) I was going to start a thread but this one is fine. Defense had a good day. A great day. 6 sacks.... wow. Beasley even showed up. Matty had a good day. HE WAS CHANNELING LAMAR JOHNSON. In a safe way. passing had some zip. Surprised the receivers. Julio had a good day Ridley had another good day. Hooper showing why he should play. When Freeman has a good day Falcons have a good day. Freeman got hurt, Hill stepped in and took over. We actually had a freakin' run game, finally. It still needs work. Koo Koo Koookoo for Koo FGs make a difference. Less penalties make a difference. Above all The Coach was not out coached. Finally an enjoyable game to watch. plus we beat the Saint's in their house and showed Brees the turf six times... while being 1-7 GOoooooFalcons!

So why not hire Mike McDaniel as head coach? Would we really be worse off doing that?

Must be coaching, 'cause except for the punter and kicker, we fielded pretty much the same squad that started game #1 --- Whatever it was, keep it up and don't change a thing!!!

We weren’t running that Seattle scheme to start the season. Quinn was rolling out some 3-4 hybrid — old fashioned 5-2 with the wrong pieces for it. We were running something closer to that Seahawk scheme today. Ovie_Lover, Falcons Fan MVP, Vandy and 17 others 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scheme looked different, and we played better because of it. Even the DBs looked better, and seemed to cause Breesus problems trying to find an open man....and in turn, it gave our D-line more time to get to him!!!

grandcanyonaz Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 It was the defense coach using each players strengths versus trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

kiwifalcon Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I’m gonna give DK some dap today I called stick with the run early in the game day thread he did and heaven forbid we controlled the clock and won the game. Lesson going foward if we finally realise to stay committed to the run and execute it we can beat anyone. Cole World and capitan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithful Falcon Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Coaches are coaching in their respective positions. We never should have had a Secondary Coach working with the receivers. That works in college, but not the development of young NFL Players. PokerSteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall I quote my posts stating that our problem wasn't a lack of talent, but horrible coaching by Dan Quinn? I am happy to do so! I specifically said that on defense in particular, we really just need an Edge to replace the lax and lazy Vic Beasley (I stand behind that), a CB to replace Trufant, who will be a cap casualty, and a S to replace the oft-injured Neal. I said Takk may or not be salvageable, depending on if he can get over his mental instability issues. When it is good for the team, I am more than happy to toot my own horn, and pat myself on the back. RunningThePiszOuttaTheBall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
