Falcons Fan MVP 4,014 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 The Falcons are probably the only team to hold Patrick Maholmes to less than 20 points in 3 years until the Bucs destroyed him. If it wasn't for a dropped int it would have been 10 points. My question is do you think that the Falcons gave the Bucs the blue print on how to stop Patrick Maholmes and the Chiefs offense? Obviously the Bucs have more dogs on defense and we're able to do more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PriMeTiiMe 8,605 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 The scheme to beat any high end offense is to put them under constant pressure. It helped the Bucs that the Chiefs did not have both their starting OTs. Killing Floor and Falcons Fan MVP 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ya_boi_j 69,333 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 So no one remembers how the Bucs made adjustments in the regular season and outscored KC 24-10?? And didn't this same exact thread get made months ago?? falconsd56, Falcons Fan MVP and buc_man 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Killing Floor 1,087 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) I assume but don’t know the Bucs had to film study our KC game. There were other factors including Mahomes’ injury. But no doubt Arians staff was prepared. Likewise I think our defensive stand up against KC is the singular evidence of preparedness last season and had we not changed coaching it would not have happened. I’ve never been more proud after a loss, the D slammed! Edited March 17 by Killing Floor Auto spell Falcons Fan MVP and ya_boi_j 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jesus 27,489 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 What really bugged me about this game was Koo missing that kick. It gives one pause about resigning, which they did, because he missed his most important kick of the year. He had made harder kicks all season long. I'm sure it weighed on him some.

isproab 2,039 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Can we just drop the word "Blueprint" from the NFL as it pertains to stopping players/systems. If it were that simple, the players/systems wouldn't work. Not everyone has the personnel to run a particular scheme to neutralize a player/team. A lot of time, it just comes down to execution.

He's a very good kicker, but when the team has 4 wins his important misses kinda go unnoticed. When the team is fighting for the playoffs it shows. He grew a lot last year over the previous year. I can assume his growth will continue. Falcons Fan MVP 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When the team is fighting for the playoffs it shows. He grew a lot last year over the previous year. I can assume his growth will continue. I remember morten andersen missed a 19 yard FG against the Jaguars in 1996 that cost us a game in a horrible 3-13 season and he bounced back.

Tampa literally made adjustments and outscored them 24-10 after the first quarter just a few weeks before KC played Atlanta. Coaches do their jobs. Some better than others.

youngbloodz 16,657 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 The Bucs ran cover 2 and got pressure with their front 4. It’s not like they invented some new scheme to stop Mahomes. They didn’t do anything special ya_boi_j and PokerSteve 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falconsd56 27,119 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I am sure that there were some things that we did that they took from us. But it was mostly the fact that their front 4 just over ran the chiefs undermanned oline. When that happens you stand a good chance of winning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They didn’t do anything special And more importantly they stopped the run/RB. 49ers did slowdown Mahomes in 2019 but they couldn't stop the run. Mahomes was bad in 2019 SB too. youngbloodz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dem Birds 11,024 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 No because we played them with a healthy offensive line unlike the Bucs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
