Post game thoughts, rants, etc

Don't forget about APete. He's probably angry about that ACL thing we did.

Their D is very good and if we don't have RGIII next week......I don't even wanna think about it.

I hear ya! Although I feel that somehow, even if it's Capt. Kirk, we'll pull this one out. I mean we simply CANNOT make it 9 in a row.

[Special K]

Well, the game was disappointing. BUT, we have a tough schedule this year and RG3 is going to mature to the point where he more aptly avoids situations where he's placed at high risk for injury. Clearly we need a stronger secondary and we need Orakpo NOT to be on IR. With the number of offensive plays the Falcons shot off, our defense clearly wore down at the end. Obviously we need a new kicker b/c Cundiff SUCKS. I'd say that about wraps up my thoughts for today. Good night, don't forget to tip your waitress.

That's what we said about today's game. haha I just hope that we can play the same type of D we did this week. Gotta force Ponder into mistakes, and shut down All-Day.

That's what we said about today's game.

I know

(hoping I don't even mention 10 in a row before the Panthers game)

Hank is big but he's slow and he's a lumberer. Guy doesn't move smoothly at all. I'm confused why we use him so much on screens and reverses. Guy is not a speed threat at all. He needs to just run crisp routes and catch everything thrown to him. He won't be a star but he could be a solid possession guy.

I want to see more of Robinson. He's got more speed and playmaking ability.

Agree 100%, when he ran the reverse today, I'm thinking "WTF Really, why are we running Hank on reverses"

[Newera]

I think we played Atlanta too conservatively. It was as is we played them like we were surprised we were keeping it close. I think we ran way too much. Though Morris was gashing them, we relied on it to much, and kept Robert to much as an after thought. Robert is an excellent passer. It didn't help our receivers kept letting us down on third down. We never got a rhythm offensively. Geez, Ryan threw like 52 times. I notice Indy really lets Luck pass. We seem to only let Robert pass when we are behind. Just a thought.

He's terrible after the catch. Terrible on reverses. I wish we would use Briscoe more.

[Boss_Hogg]

Okay, which one of you guys called into 980 claiming that RGIII is overrated?

[Dallsux]

RG3 can't get well soon enough. Game was over as soon as he took that hit.

This is a one man team.

That's not true at all. RG3 makes us better, but we have several really good, young players.

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

On offense, we have Grif, Fred and Morris. The O-line has done okay. But nobody else is "good" IMO

Are you speaking of the WRs?

Not particularly. It's hard to see what our WRs are capable of when we only use 2 of them most of the game & one of them keeps dropping passes. (I'm speaking somewhat faseciously).

I'm also talking about some of our defensive players & ST players.

[NLC1054]

Last year all anyone did was complain that we threw too much.

This year all anyone does is complain that we don't throw it enough.

Running back averages 4.8 a carry and we have to complain that the quarterback doesn't throw enough.
Wide receiver averages 13.1 a catch and 5.8 yards after the catch, everyone complains he gets no YAC. Runs in the 4.4's and we can't use him on the end around.

Do people even watch the games?

[jaxskinsville]

In the past months we have gone from a team that could lose on any given Sunday, to being a team that could win on any given Sunday. It's all in the perspective.
Although this new road the team is on may be long, hard, and filled with set-backs, we must realize that after years of wandering, we are finally on the right road.

Um, you can't put this one on the defense.

They were on the field forever because the offense was piss poor. The *ONE* game that you can't put on the defense this season.

There was a definite shift though from the second RGIII left the field . I maybe over reacted but they looked very poor in the end of the 3rd/4th Q . The only positive was we did not allow them to get the first down when they ran the ball in the last 3 minutes .

We let their receivers run up just short than 2 X 100 receiving yards and 23 receptions to 2 players ? . That is on the defense . A guy drops back 52 times and we get one sack - yes we shut down the running game - but when they needed a big run they got it and players on the defense were just milling around on that go ahead score . Riley was standing up and pointing to Micheal Turner -

The season gets no better from here ...just depressing .

[jivelikenice]

Can some explain why Shanahan keeps deferring? Both home games, the result as been the opponent dominates possession in the first half and we're out of sync. why not apply pressure early!
