Black, my point is we shouldn't have even been passing at that point regardless...

I think MI was hurt.
Look SP got ahead of himself. Kamara went down and MI was one injury away from totally destroying any gameplan SP had.

And the playcall at the end showed me that SP has lost his touch. He'll have to earn my respect again before I trust him as a playcaller.

Pete Carmichael as to the latter, as to the earlier point, you're right, this Thursday Night BS took its toll and players were dropping left and right tonight...

And would someone punch Jim Mora in the face when he says he doesn't have a problem with Thursday Night Games - the whiny b*tch never played a game...

He had eight game run heavy streak then in la he reverts back to payton of old. Then goes back to it against carolina and then reverts back in atl. Idk what his deal is but if you arent behind by two scores you continue to run the ball. Throw edmunds in there he is a hard nose runner if ingram was too hurt and see if he can handle it. That said i agree payton lost his touch and im not sure if he can earn my respect unless we win it all

He didn't even give Edmunds a chance.
It makes no sense. Freaking QB sneak and run the clock or something. Make Atl drain timeouts and kick a field goal. Run a flea flicker.... anything.
If you're going to force the ball, force it into Michael Thomas for frick sakes.

Before anyone says you don't throw Edmunds in cold at the end of the game - which would be a mistake - Edmunds should have been put in much earlier in the game; even if he doesn't tear 'em off at 5 RuYd/Att, he would at least keep ATL defense honest, eat up game clock, and give even more of a rest...

That's just it...we pass when from behind(even by a fg) and run when ahead. They just don't care about blowing teams out.

In all honesty, if Ingram could not get first downs then we had to pass. The receivers aren't getting a lot of first downs with their catches, so we need three chances for a big catch. The tight-window throws is a fluctuator with our team...they help and hurt, like that int.
