Sidecar Falcon Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Hate to bring up this old wound but it does raise some interesting questions. First half of the video is pretty interesting stuff. I doubt this is a true measure of what would have really happened. This is due mainly to scheming being different based on scenario and game flow. Second half is a “simulation” done via Madden 18. So I don’t take that with too much merit. Either way I’ve checked out this dudes YouTube channel, and he has made reference or exhibited this game on three separate videos within the last month. Seems like he might just hate the Falcons.

Falcanuck Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Or just ran the ball more than like 4 times the second half. Absolutely asinine. Quinn should have been fired immediately after this game. Malachore, Chitown2ATL_Falcon, Emmitt and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcers during the game this year even mentioned it saying his mentality is to keep trying to put up points. It cost him twice (that I know of) and unfortunately one of them was the biggest game he has ever coached in. It doesnt seem like he has learned his lesson either...

We’ve run the #s and teams who stick w their boneheads um.....existing mgt pool ......are far more competitive over long haul. Had DQ been reporting to Rich McKay, he’d have known better and overridden his OC. We’ve clearly learned some things that will enable us to be successful as we move forward. Oh...and.....DQ is very self aware and willing to make any needed corrections (just not w SB hanging in balance). Btw, we also have one of the premiere sports venues in US too, cheap hot dogs and some very nice PSLs for which we’ll require premium compensation to match your enhanced in-game experience. Not sure why some folks keep rattling on about team discipline, preparation, talent evaluation, cap mgt and for heaven sakes that drivel abt the “Trenches”.....this is not Stahlingrad in ‘42.......now Rich.....pls go manage these good people as well...., Falcanuck, jstammer and AlabamaFalconFan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogIsYourName Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 What if Jake Matthews just hadn't held? He pushed us out of two FGs in the 4th quarter.

I love when people pin 1 play as the reason we lost that superbowl when the reality is it was a collection of dumps taken by various players and staff that led to the largest superbowl collapse ever. It's hilariously short sighted to point to 1 play, 1 penalty, 1 missed block, etc. as the sole reason we lost. Here's a thought...if we ran the ball Jake would have never held.

If Quinn was an offensive minded coach there might be an argument, Shanny at the time was the "best" OC in the game and Quinn was running the defense. If I was Quinn I might have made the suggestion to change the play styles but I think I would have enough faith in KS to not blow the game. The major problem was the fact that there were no offensive adjustments made during the second half, I believe Van Noy had an interview where he said the Pats were running a certain look in the first half and changed to a cover 3 at half and he was dumbfounded that Atlanta kept running the same calls with no adjustments.

Yeah?... how many 28-3 leads in the SB has he had this year? I think he learned from that mistake and have seen the 49ers grind some games out at the end this season. Most certainly they have ran the ball more in the 2nd half with a lead than what we did in 51. We can never prove anything but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Quinn told him to keep the pressure on at halftime, and it certainly fell on Quinn to put his foot down if that wasn't the case.

What does playing in a SB this year have to do with anything? Look at the game against Atlanta, had a lead and kept trying to pass. Led to a loss. We may not be able to prove anything, but as I noted earlier there was an interview with Kyle Van Noy where he stated that the offense did nothing to adjust to the Pats halftime adjustments and kept running with the same game plan even though the defense was in a totally different scheme. Maybe Quinn told him to keep the pressure at halftime, but when nothing was working KS should have changed it up. The blame lays on both but more so KS IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
