Well Linehan has the bar set after tonight

[Parcells4Life]

Falcons worked all offseason at one aspect of their game and didn’t get any better. In fact they might be worse at red zone offense.

Linehan worked all offseason to bring life back to the passing game. Even if we only see a slight improvement week 1 he’ll be better off than Sarkisian.

Slight improvement to me is 225 yards 2 TD 1 or less picks.

Not expecting the Romo 300 games with 4 TDs.

Cowboys aren't playing the superbowl champion, 4th in total defense, first in rushing defense.... defense week 1.

No we just play them twice in a 16 game season.

But apart from that, their play calling in the RZ was ***.

Yeah those red zone plays were awful!

You have all off season to study and learn and that’s the best you got?

Well we have the corners to match up well against top WRs, at least on a short field. You guys shouldn't have to worry about that when you play us though. See? You're taking away our advantages already!

Atlanta has way too much talent at RB and OL to be throwing the ball 70% of the time inside the 10. They also try too hard to force it to Julio in the RZ.

It’s ridiculous

 

[Cattle_Rancher]

ATL was horrible cause they forced the ball to Jones several times I saw others come open but Ryan was glued on Jones.

ATL's OC is a disciple of Saban just like JG was. Both seem to choke against better competition.

Not bad, a whole 8 responses before someone bashed JG in a thread that's not about JG.

Not to argue the point but when you get beat by a better team it may be them not you

It's never me. It's always someone else's fault. I'm never wrong, just sometimes ain't quite right.

 

[gmoney112]

I have no idea how Sarkisian kept his job after last year.

 

[HardBlitz]

Yeah maybe if Matt Ryan knew he had other receivers besides Julio Jones they might have been able to score.

When Romo was throwing for 300 and 4tds it also involved 2-3picks that ended up costing Dallas games. Lets not kid ourselves Romo best yr of his career was the yr he spent most of the time handing the ball off to demarco Murray and he had numbers like Daks rookie yr.

Steve Sarkisian will be fired real soon

Even with as pathetic as the Eagles offense was it the coaches who adjusted to win that game. The defense of the Eagles shut down one of the most potent offenses in the league. We can say the Falcons play calling in the redzone was poor but the Eagles defense stepped up inside the 20s. It looked like every snap of the ball the defense of the Eagles made a quick push to shrink the pocket and Ryan had a tiny pocket that was just collapsing.
I dont expect Linehan to change I expect more of the same predictable play calling thats been going on over the last few years.

Atl made themselves become one dimensional They kept trying to run around the edges and Philly took that out. Atl had some pretty nice runs between the tackles with Freeman but for some reason the didnt keep pounding it. Cant give up that run even if your making a few yards it wears the defense down. Matt was off tonight and he was a deer in the headlights with Julio. Throwing into double coverage. They were giving Juilo descent coverage till he got inside the 20 then the tighten up their coverage package. Also Julio on the first series wasnt even on the field. No other Receiver stepped up and Matts throws were erratic.Philly's defense gave them yards then came alive when they got into the redzone. These are something Dallas is going to have to think about. Philly does a good job with the sweeps around the corner and with Zekes style of running is our advantage. Atl had way to many penalties and the refs seems to be throwing them like crazy.

Atl didnt take advantage of the opportunity's when they had the chance. ATL defense with all them penalties that just kept Philly's drives alive was insane. Ryan didnt help any with the forcing the ball to Julio when he wasnt open. ATL deserved to get beat last night they played horrible. I hated it!!! lol
