Why we wouldn't use a TO so that a 51 yd turns in to 56 yd attempts. Didn't we draft this kid because he has a big leg ? MLF had a D- game and it was still somehow close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's kind of handcuffed going into the game without Jones, Watson and Bak. He's got to protect Walker. Then Jenkins goes down and his quarterback's blindside is a ****show. I'll give him as pass if he was a tad too conservative. Edited September 17, 2023 by Old Guy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swift - Often injured but maybe has a resurgence with the Eagles? Assuming he doesn't go back to getting 3 touches once Gainwell comes back. Taylor - Injured season and now Irsay wants to make him suffer. Akers - Injured and now seems to have lost his job to Kyren Williams. Dobbins - Injured and might be looking at the end of his career. Dillon - Seems to have forgotten how to run. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatKing Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Don't expect to win many games this year but man the way that game ended sucked. Looked like we might be a sneaky good team going into the 4th quarter and then our inexperience showed up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a delay of game on a 51yd FG is literally inexcusable. Not kicking it after that was another mistake. How he handled the short down and distance was gross, too. I thought he was better. He made way too many mistakes while being shorthanded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inexcusable!! That would have been the game! There's a few of these this game, right? The ints, Musgrave disappearing, getting stuck with lighter personnel on the field, ever, against ridder. Dillon not keeping his feet, Love no sneak. Lot of inexcusable things lead to losses like this. There's a few things on the list I have faith will revert to the mean. The biggest botch, in my mind is the decision, not execution, of routinely making your front 7 undermanned against a team who wants to run. Barry's asking players to be heroes. And that's not winning ball. Could Savage have made that tackle? Would've been a great play if he had. Can Clark beat double teams or absolutely handle the guys in front of him? That's not easy for a bunch of continuous downs. Read the room first half the boys were buzzing. Snap count piles up and he starts going lighter on the DL. 70 snaps is a ton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Dillon needs to be benched though. He wouldn't make the roster or other teams right now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact our defense allowed 237 yards rushing put our offense in a tight spot. They were also playing without arguably 4 or their 5 best players. I think the experience we got in this game is as valuable as a win would have been. It's OK to get in your first 2-minute drill to win a game and not succeed. Having those feelings are invaluable lessons that Love, in particular will learn from and be better going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrimiv Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I had no idea it was Dillon's ineptness that injured Jenkins. That's a tough one to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacyIsGood Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I think a really bad moment for Barry was once the Packers led by 12 he immediately played the pass, and the run defense was incredibly vulnerable. Then ATL ran it right past the 50. Thought that was a really bad idea…don’t care about the lead and the time, make Ridder beat you. Disappointed in that 3 and out with Love nearly throwing a pick. His only real blemish. But also targeting two rookies against their best corner two plays in a row was questionable. A little concerned about the defense, but overall still happy with the potential of the team. Sometimes it’s better to get this type of loss out of the way earlier. Packers coaching is still a little too cute. Also Dillon is really bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked ready and everyone else looked like they were sh**ting the bed. The crowd noise and the timing was clearly too much and the falcons D knew it. Love barely had a chance to play football on almost any of those downs. He hit the defender in the chest with a pre-determined throw that was never there and way short of the sticks. He failed too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably one of the closest things to a Dillon supporter on here.. and it's just not good enough right now. More snaps should've been siphoned to Wilson as the game wore on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
