So far it looks like ten were downgrades. We are 2-6. Keep blaming it on coaching. Who coached players to watch an onside kick instead of take the W? Who abandoned the run up 16 in the 4th Q half way through it? Who didn’t kneel and kick a FG as time expired; thereby not giving the ball back? Coaching ALONE prevented us from 5-3. Imagine if good coaching were a thing in ATL... It was all TD tho! /s PS: We’d still be in easier to manage shape had Covid not reduced next years salary by an unprecedented amount.

TD did a good manipulating the cap this year, but regardless you got to pay the piper sooner or later. The bottom line is TD didn’t get it done, couldn’t put the pieces in place during the JJ MR era. What a shame.... 28-3 in the Super Bowl ”TD failed” kiwifalcon and quickzero 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow TD managed to sign Gurley, Fowler et al last offseason after everyone (including you) claimed we were in cap hades.. And we’ll sign some FA next year too. We still have one of the more talented teams in the league. Coaching has been this team’s #1 problem, not retaining talent. Exactly. I think one of the best things that a new coach will do is that he doesn't have any ties to these players. Each player will have to earn their spot in the lineup. The way you drive players to get better is open competition for all spots. I think some guys have gotten a little too comfortable under Quinn due to draft status. You see the same thing with the topic soccer teams in Europe. The top teams have enough players to fill out two teams. Every practice you are fighting for your chance to start in the upcoming games. It drives players to take their game to the next level. Vandy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Having Mckay constantly looking over his shoulder and I still think the Koetter hiring was forced on him and Quinn. His pass happy offense doesn't fit with Quinns philosophy. TD built the most talented rosters we ever had as a Falcons fan. He had his fair share of mistakes but that happens to the best GM's in the league. Whatever we do, we better hire a GM first. It is imperative that you have a GM and coach who are in-sync on how to build a team. Ergo Proxy, Vandy, kiwifalcon and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wes is doing okay, but he’s nothing special. Who else? $13M man Hooper? Come on man, every single one of them (sans Wes) got replaced by younger, cheaper talents with upside. This is how the NFL works. And I will continue to blame coaching until it’s fixed....been calling out Quinn for 3+ years, long before most of ya’ll caught up with me. Get a decent coaching staff in here and this is a playoff team. Ergo Proxy, AUTiger7222, kiwifalcon and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When after that the onside kick recovery would have sealed it? Why did the STs coach get fired along with Dan? Game sealing pick doesn’t happen if you run the ball up 16 with 8 minutes left. Gurley was averaging 6 YPC and we abandoned the run. How dense are you? Morris admitted he should have just kneeled with Matt since strategy was playing for a FG and not to score. He told you the Lions game was on him as a result. Coaching controls variables. Hello!? If all you are willing or capable of doing is looking at ONLY the results of a play, you will never hold coaching accountable! But, you are the same guy that defends 11 point lead in the SB with 3mins left wasn’t worth playing for the FG and don’t think strategy cost us a SB. “Execution is the only factor” so let’s keep DQ and Dirk?

Some guys are driven and don’t need that, but other guys need that constant push. Too many guys got comfortable. kiwifalcon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve been a Falcon STH since 1985 and a fan since at least 75, so go preach that nonsense to someone else bro. I ain’t buying. AB finally realized TDs not the right one.

So please tell me who was GM when this team should have won the 2016 SB.Should have been fired I think he proved that AB fired the right person. Dont make laugh the expectations have never been as high since TDs been the GM anyone been around long enough knows this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
