I made a post during the week but their were entirely too many Falcons trolls around so I decided not to continue posting so I didn't get into the cross hairs lol. However I did continue reading and wanted to say you have some very intellectual fans and I just wanted to stop by and congratulate you guys on a great season and give a few thoughts of mine on the game. (Hope that is okay? If I must die, please be gentle and make it quick!)
Not gonna lie the first drive you guys eating up 8 minutes and walking down for a TD had me like :34853_doh: but luckily for my sanity we rebounded and played pretty good defense the rest of the game (outside of the late TD where Alford was gassed after chasing down Hester 70 yards and then being asked to man up on a WR on a fly pattern). I was extremely happy with how much pressure we were able to put on Wilson as the game progressed. (You guys need to bite the bullet and sign you guys an elite O-lIne talent like we did with Mack. It completely changed our O-Line)
Gotta say I was SHOCKED you guys were willing to run out that last minute of the 1st half with 3 timeouts in your pocket and just go into the half down 9 knowing we got the ball to start the 2nd and our offense being in rhythm. Is that normal for you guys to play that conservative near halftime or was that shocking to you guys as well?
I think the game completely changed on the Hester punt return that got called back on a very ticky tack call. Maybe it affected the play maybe it didn't. If you guys get that ball inside our 10 already up 3 who knows how the rest of the game plays out. For the most part the refs let the players play as DBs on both sides were doing quite a bit of holding on WRs.Think the only one they called was the one where Sherman gave Julio a hug for 10 yards. Same goes for the O-Lines. Can't say I didn't throw my remote like a child when they called the penalty on the 4th down punt for being lined up over the neutral zone. Was no doubt a penalty but man was that stupid (On our part).
Another thing that surprised me was how quickly yall abandoned everything that worked on the first drive. 1) the run game with Rawls 2) Getting Falcon Killer Jimmy Graham the ball. Both guys basically disappeared for the last 52 minutes of the game. Not sure if that was simply a good job of us adjusting, You guys abandoning it due to us constantly scoring or a combination of both but it clearly changed how the game played out.
Lastly. Paul Richardson is a problem. Randy Moss Jr out here that boy is gonna be lighting it up next season.
Anyway I don't want to make this post too long. Again, Congratulations on a great season and I know yall will be back next season once Earl is back and the legion of boom is back intact. :irishdrinkers:
