Falconcheff Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 A share of 1st in the Division... A chance to get above .500 next week... Tied record with tiebreaker over Washingron...

We've been here TOO MANY TIMES to have not learned your ******* lesson by now, Coach... falconsd56, PokerSteve, nutsandbolts and 9 others 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampyMux12 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 There comes a time where everyone knows you're going to run the ball and you can still do it. No need to try and overthink it...

Flyin' In DC Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 If that ball isn't tipped it's a completion. Short of the endzone I think. But 3rd and goal at the 1/2 yard line works for me. Maybe up by 1 with a minute or less Diesel_Bird and FalconJim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeburner Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) The play call was fine. CP was wide *** open. Washington had no timeouts, and weren’t exactly killing us in obvious passing situations Edited November 28, 2022 by Bridgeburner Aluminafalcon, MarkMc44, FalconJim and 5 others 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCFalconfan Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 NOT the first time Smith has gone away from what was working and got dumb with the play calling. Its becoming his calling card.

ThisIsNotFantasyFootball Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I'm afraid Smith 2.0 will more likely end up just like Smith 1.0. Might have a few decent years but ultimately won't get the job done. Post game talking to Dave Archer he even tipped his hat to Washington several times, just like Smitty...

Stupid call on 2nd down. You actually up the odds for them to win the game by passing there even if you get the TD.

That was a very high risk call in that situation for reasons that are now all too apparent. On 4th and goal I would say it’s a correct call. But at that point running was the correct call given the clock, the timeout situation and the Falcons’ strengths.

I know AS was trying to catch them off guard as they likely were expecting a run… but it’s a high risk play that should’ve been on 3rd or 4th… not 2nd. BUT any decent QB turns that into a TD. Mariota telegraphed it badly and threw it right at the defender. FalconJim, Norwood all the way! and PokerSteve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is less of a chance Obviously, the worst case scenario happened...even if it's just tipped incomplete, at least we'd still have the ball. I acknowledge that there was a possibility of a fumbled handoff between Mariota and CP had that been the playcall...it is, after all, the Falcon Way... The whole thing just sucks...

Doctor Kildare Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I do not like the pass call, but in the big picture this team is well ahead of schedule. People are understandably frustrated. The play calling will be a lot more worrisome if games are still being lost this way on 2024. But I suspect Smith's playcalling will look better then as all coaches look a lot smarter with better talent.

History has shown that Mariota with the game on his arm is going to make a poor play...CP has displayed the ability time and again the ability to make the play when called upon. For some unknown reason, Smith refuses to just take the obvious... PokerSteve, Jimsmusic™, FalconJim and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariota telegraphed it badly and threw it right at the defender. This is the problem. Arthur should know his own personnel and know Mariota is not going to make the play. And if he really thinks putting the game in Mariota’s hands is the correct choice then maybe he isn’t very smart.

falcon app Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 AS has vastly improved as a play caller, that TD call to Pruitt was beautiful but he also had two head scratching calls 1. On the tipped interception, unless CP was under instructions to catch and do down at the goal line, the the call was inexcusable. 2. We had another crazy situation near half time where we almost gave them a shot at 3 points trying to outsmart ourselves.

With making the move away from Matt Ryan, a move that had to be made sooner or later, losing Foye and injuries or retirements this team is well above what the football world thought. For this team's competitiveness, Arthur Smith deserves a lot of praise. FalconJim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
