Last time I checked, Matt Ryan was MVP? And yet the falcons failed to score a single point in the 4th quarter of their super bowl? Let me guess, not Kyle's fault? .. super bowl against Chiefs, out most explosive player ( Mostert ) carried the ball 10 times... Still not Kyle's fault? Poor performance from Jimmy all through the playoffs, yet Kyle stuck with him... Still not Kyle's fault?. I see a pattern here
Matt Ryan took unneeded sacks, failing to throw the ball away when a play was dead (poor execution). LT get's called for holding, Freeman fails to pickup a blitz etc... here you are talking about him not giving the ball to Mosert and in the same breath wanting him to take the ball out of the MVP of the league's hands in the SB? Explain what play calls were just flat out bad play calls? I'm not talking about run vs pass either. Ryan much like Jimmy audibled out of run plays and guys simply couldn't block in certain positions when they did run. You do realize there's a defense that makes changes all the same too, right? As far as Jimmy goes....dude has been a disaster in the playoffs overall and even worse in the 4th QR.
So you're telling me Kyle should have benched Jimmy in the playoffs for rookie QB who outside of a two random games, got next to nothing in meaningful snaps for 7+ months? OH and didn't play football the year prior because of covid? LOL yeah okay. Only pattern I'm seeing his your distain for our HC. No one is saying he can't improve...every HC can. s**t Tomlin and Harbs haven't won a SB in over a decade (with better QBs). Bill hasn't won a playoff game without Brady. Andy Reid went to one SB prior to Mahomes in 20 years! Yet here we are complaining about Kyle
So, that's three crucial games without a single point in the 4tb quarter of either of those and none of that Is on Kyle?. That's funny. As for comparing the Mostert situation with Ryan, I don't think that's even close to be the same? Mostert ( our most explosive player ) shared touches all game with an average RB ( Coleman ) all because Kyle gets a stiffy for certain guys. The Ryan's situation was completely different, everyone and their momma knows that the falcons should be running the ball.. don't blame the players for that nonsense.
I'm also aware that defenses make changes, the same way offenses make adjustments ( Kyle failed ) how does someone fail to score a point when it mattered most when you have, Jones, White, Ryan's, ect? .. let's stop being so defensive over any criticism of Kyle... You starting to sound like those Jimmy fans. As I've stated many times in the past... Kyle and Lynch deserve all the praise in the world for making us competitive again, buy they also deserve blame for costing the opportunity of winning at least one super bowl.

Did you watch that game? That was, from what I could tell, the fault of the offensive line. A key penalty and a key sack.
Yes I did... I Saw a coach who decided to pass when he should have ran the ball.
