Hahahaha 2 plays from 10 inches out and freeman gets neither, with one being a sweep to Gabriel. Dear lord this is ugly
It’s just being cute. You don’t need a fucking genius play, just hand it to the stud RB on 4th there. The 3rd down was on Ryan. He was late AND made a bad throw. On time and it’s a TD. The 4th down was Sarkisian being a moron. If I were Freeman I’d be losing my shit.
Can't believe they got to inside the ten then ran that fucking play on fourth down. That was their money play? "ok we need one yard, let's turn around and hand it off instead of a dive or sneak. No not to the guy we just paid, or the other guy. that guy over there" such Paul Johnson tier idiocy
That’s your worst case scenario when you force it to him. He’s good enough to AT WORST prevent the pick, and more likely he’s going to bring it down or get PI. Still should have just handed it to freeman, but it’s unbelievable it took 24 quarters to throw that pass to Julio once.
I still can't get over the play call on the drive earlier. I am going to be sick if Sark is still employed after this.
At some point, you’ve got to just cut your losses while something is still salvageable. If you keep holding on there will be nothing to play for. Time to move on from Sark. He had no business getting the job in the first place, but he was brought in bc they thought he’d be able to continue running KS’s system. It’s obvious he can’t do that, meaning he can’t do what he was hired for, so time to move on.
Wait do you mean like "I agree, he's gone." Or "after years of Mark Richt, I am used to coordinators being kept on"? Because that post could go either way..
Ryan has to start playing better too. Sark takes the bulk of the blame, but Ryan has been pretty bad so far this year.
Even the fantasy wrap post this morning is on our side. One blurb about the falcons and it says this: “I would fire Sarkisian first thing Monday morning. Freeman is averaging 6.2 yards a pop the last two weeks and has 21 measly carries”. Preach it Pianowski.
This is more like what’s really going on https://www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/2017/10/23/16523616/steve-sarkisian-falcons-offense-struggles
This is like the third stint right? Wish he would have stayed healthy. I wonder if this means they think Duke will be out for a while.
With all our key losses on the offense, we should have expected this production drop-off, right? /sarcasm
Almost half time and Freeman has 6 carries, Julio has 2 targets. There have been 3 bad drops already but still, I’m so sick of this shit. Win or lose, if the falcons don’t put up 30 and these touch counts continue, Sarkisian needs to be left behind unemployed. It does not take a fucking genius to just give the ball to your best players
We were lucky to win. Hard to make any observations given the monsoon we played in but we are so undisciplined and constantly kill ourselves.
I think Ryan, outside of not knowing how to handle a snap in the rain, was more accurate and played better than the past few weeks.
And a ball that you can’t overthrow too. Gotta give him a shot to make a play. If it’s underthrown, it’s probably pass interference at a minimum
