jetset335 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 With 5 seconds left (Hooper non touchdown) in the game Quinn is clearly calling for the Falcons to go for 2. I think is another example of Quinn's inability to manage in game situations. I know that we make the right call 3 sec later, but that is because IMO there was enough time for someone to overrule another stupid Quinn decision. I haven't seen this posted, so I wanted to point it out. PS - If you want to see yourself it is shown in the NFL network highlight clip @ 10:24 mark.

Jesus Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Why is it a bad decision? 3 pt lead means a FG doesn't win. Either way for them to win with less than 10 secs on the clock is almost impossible to do. Only one team in NFL history can score 2 TDs in 2 seconds.

papachaz Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 how is this poor management? because he was calling for two after what he thought (and what should have been) the winning touchdown? no time comes off the clock on the PAT, whether it's going for two or not, the plan all along was to take the knee and avoid any chance of any type turnover, squib kick it and let the clock run out during the attempted return. that's great 'management' as the chance of a game winning KO return TD are very marginal, so nah, you're wrong again my god some of you people just go out of your freaking way to LOOK for something to ***** about don't you and this is yet ANOTHER post proving there needs to be a 5000 post limit on starting threads FalconsIn2012, JDaveG, FalconBlood23 and 22 others 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geaux_Falcons Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I think the 2 sign was meant to signal the offense to stay on the field. The play call would obviously be to take a knee.

Boise Falcon Fan Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 So, if I am understanding this right, the Falcons went up 23 to 22, and it is a mistake to go for 2? I would go for 2 in that situation EVERY TIME! Why wouldn't you want to go up 3, just in case of some fluke, crazy thing happening, that would/could only happen to us!

Nino11 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Yeah. Swing and a miss OP. Kicking a field goal does nothing. Even if they woulda attempted an actual play I doubt it’s anything other then a run. You don’t convert a field goal still beats you. You get it and make the other team score a TD to beat you. Odds are very low for the defense to score on a 2 point. Of course it happen with Eric Berry but I’d but the house it wouldn’t happen again Rings, MoFalconsFan56 and Drunken Minotaur Zebra 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribal Chief Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 This site is such an embarrassment to the entire fanbase. The **** people complain about after a win of all things.

I can see a case for either TBH. However if it’s a turnover and they return it you lose the game like KC in 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis York Morgan Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Really don't get this critique. If anything, it was great game management to kneel so we could insure no KC-game-esque-ker****ery happened.

high impact Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Why would you go for 2 with 2 seconds on the clock? Once you kick it to them the time would either run out or they would run it back for a TD. Not enough time to get a FG. So 3 point lead does nota!!! Quinn panics and he needs to get a grip. I was like somebody tackle Quinn do what ever it takes but don't let him try a 2 point conversion!!

vel Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 You can't send the team out to kneel without it being the 2 pt conversion unit. mikeg272, ATLFalcons11, falconticket and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shc Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Quinn was actually going for two because he is a poor game manager, and Ryan took a knee because he is mediocre and doesn’t have that it factor to win /casm Rings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freefall Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 The 2 pts conv/kneel down was a good call because I don't think you can run off the clock during a XP or 2 pts conv, and a straight handoff/kneel is safer than a long snap and kneel. As much as I rail on Quinn for his poor clock management I think he did a good job here. Rings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
