Sitting on the 45 yard FG again this ******* lucked out. If Maher misses that kick which is very possible and we lose that game that is all we are talking about right now. Don't care for the idiot who comes on here and says "if", cause it didn't happen today doesn't mean it doesn't happen next time. Not saying I don't have confidence in our kicker but you gotta be more aggressive in that situation and if I was the HC or OC I wouldn't be comfortable till the ball was inside the 20.

He was scared to death of a sack or pick or leaving ATL time on the clock. Basically he was playing scared.

I agree w/ 30 seconds left and a shaky kicker, you have to get that within 35 yds minimum.

Are you one of the people that would be complaining if Dak dropped back, got hit from his blindside and fumbled, with their starting LT in the medical tent?

If our backup LT had given up a sack knocking them out of field goal range, you would be crucifying him too.

Since they were using their TO’s I would have taken at least one shot for a td
If you miss an extra point then no distance is safe
I would have had to take a shot at getting 7
I get the logic of playing it safe in that situation but I’d have to have took one shot

It was the right play. You may not agree. But it was the right play. You get to the 30 yard line, you play it the way we did. There's so much that can happen on a pass play to hurt you. A sack takes you out of FG range. Any incomplete pass causes the clock to stop and saves their timeouts. This was not the Washington game where we were behind by three and driving. We took the foot off the gas with more time on the clock in that game. Plus, we possibly had a chance to win in regulation.

We put the ball into the hands of our best player today. They had to use all their timeouts. We took the clock all the way to the end. Right call all the way.

The unfortunate thing about today? JG probably earned himself another 2 years. And that sucks.
A 9-7 NFC East win probably keeps JG around 1 more year but I can still see Linehan leaving if passing game isn’t more consistent.

Also don’t underestimate Moore leaving if Linehan goes.

There’s coaches who would actually want to come here to prove themselves with Zeke, Cooper and this OL

Add that to the gtless play calling before the half, this guy never learns , you need to strive for the maximum and if it doesnt happen have to have a bcakup plan. Always trying to play for FG, or going through motions(instead of trying hard) is why he has 8-8 seasons repeatedly . Even when the players are playing for him , he plays percentages and not go for the kill.
