Thoughts on Falcons Game Based on Last Meeting
 

They went for it on 4th at their own 30 in overtime !
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

------ It's still funny.

Mike Smith thought the same thing you and me both thought when they lined up: they'd easily convert it.

Thankfully they didn't. That was their "Hartley short FG miss" that we experienced last year.

So, how will this affect Smith when faced with a 4th and short Monday?
will he be gun-shy and conservative, or go for it again?

I think he will second guess himself either way, and maybe try a gimmick play.

Damn, Mike, I thought I was about to learn something!

LOL, that's funny, though!

I think I still have that game DVR'd. Useless to watch it as we are a much better team now!

"Thoughts on Falcons Game Based on Last Meeting"

I think we better be 100% for a full 60 minutes. Atlanta won't be foolin around when they come to the Dome. I'm nervous about this game. That's my thoughts.

Love it he dosnt even game plan

He coaches out of Fear of SP and our offense

He's probably not smart enough to realize that he is over matched.

I dont know which is more funny/patheitc:

Falcons going for it...

Or all the analyst saying it was the right thing to do!!!

The team needs to be sharp & we need to stay hungry. This is going to boil down to which team wants it more.

Coach Smith, I could see him pulling out whatever trick plays they have for this game. To me, this is their first playoff game. If they lose they are hanging off the side of a cliff and beating the Saints without any gimmicks...I don't see it happening, not up in our house.

flea flicker watch.

The only drawback is that the way our defense is playing, it will see the I-formation with the fullback offset, and think pass all along.


LOL

You think he would pull an "Ambush"?

I think anything is on the table for this game. Like the staged "fight" they did in the Lions game, where they ran out the tunnel and basically instead of going to their sidelines ran straight into the middle of the Lions pregame huddle to start ***** and get up in their grills. A totally ridiculous stunt and cheap/classless way to start a ball game.

The thing about the 4th and 1 -- the Falcons and Smith have been doing this to the Saints for YEARS now. The Hartley hiccup game they won, there were a ton of these 4th downs they went for it. They almost always go for it on 4th and 1 against us, and usually get it. If the Saints stop THAT, which we now know the defense can, all of a sudden those long time-consuming drives by the Falcons become not-so-long, some of those 7's on the scoreboard become 3's, some of those 3's become no points at all, and all of a sudden without those long drives, put a couple punts in there and you are looking at a game that is no longer tied or even close, but the Falcons are trailing behind by 7-10 points.

What the Falcons do on 4th down is huge to this game.

I can see an onside kick if shmitty loses the coin toss. He knows he needs to gain a posestion on us, and he has no original thought.
That would be the only surprise time. I would expect a possession trick play.
Funny enough our defense is #1-2 on stopping teams on 3rd down, but 31st in protecting the red zone, lol

Defense needs to do a better job on 2nd down , and stop frickin blitzing in the red zone,lol

Historically beating the falcons is never easy nor pretty.. I got a few more days to grow some nails..

So if we have Atlanta, 3rd and goal to go


Whoa!
