We softened them up for the Dirty Birds, not to mention probably saved
Quinn's job. |

Re: Atlanta beat San Fransico? LOL
As I've said in previous posts: you give us one of our injured LBers and we would have won the game easily. The 49ers looked better against us than they actually were, and were just exploiting gaping holes in our defense. We actually put together real drives against good defensive coverages. They just got a bunch of chunk plays over and over again cause we didn't have the personnel to properly stop them. Our entire defense was stuck trying to compensate for them missing. As a result we ended up playing an unwinnable game of whack-a-mole with their offense where we'd try to stop one thing and they'd do the other.

BTW, I actually think Dan Quinn is a good coach. It'd actually benefit us if they got rid of him. He's not the reason they are losing, and they will really regret firing him if they do.

With that lost that put us in the hunt for 1st seed all we need is to win out and Green Bay lost to the Vikings. San Fran must lose or tie once more. Possibly the Seahawks win that home against 49ers. At the least we will be a second seed at the least.

Re: Atlanta beat San Fransico? LOL
Failures are a bi polar squad.
5-9 under achieving team however QUINN has defeated (both ON THE ROAD) 2 heavy weights that are headed to post season play. I'm not so sure that Mr. Blank fires him now. |

They made adjustments but it was too late. In the first meeting with Saints/Falcons at home, obviously the Saints overlooked that game and were caught off guard. Second meeting was very different. Much more real and could have been an embarrassment blow out for the clowns if some of our receivers caught the ball Since then, Falcons have regrouped and are again trying to re-surge. I do give credit to Quinn for keeping their team together and not quitting. Quinn should get 1 more year with his system, but unless they win out finishing 7-9, I don't see them keeping him. |
