No I'm implying that if your D gives up almost 600 yards your offense had better be playing aggressive...you have no proof to say the OL doesn't get called for a hold on a running play. How about the D stops them that last drive in regulation? How about that D stops them in overtime? How about Quinn says let's run down the clock? Where the hell is he in all this?
Bill was giving them the pass play and the leagues best offense needs to execute the play call, if they do they win plain and simple. Arob had his man beat by at least two steps and Sunu had them in FG range if not for the hold call.
Maybe if the had NY's D they don't have to play so aggressive offensively but they don't. Hell ryan only threw the ball 23 times.
This is my last post on this topic because end of the day I could careless about the falcons. My issue is how kyle has taken the majority of the blame for this yet the HC has the final say, especially in the f**king SB. That D played awful the second half, yet no one blinks an eye on it and Quinn is a defensive guru!
Ryan was sacked on 5 different occasions and add in holding call. Let me know how many severe negative plays happened when Atl ran the ball. Yeah a holding call or fumble could happen but it's about 10x more likely on a pass which just requires more risk. Like I said Shanny could of called 3 kneel downs not that any coach would do that and that would of secured the game. You play it safe and call the safest play you got, bleed the clock, and that's not a deep dropback. Maybe they were going for 1 more 1st and a little more time but it was still too aggressive and they paid the price.
Nobody is blaming it all on Shanny but he's accountable for his end and he came up short. He takes the majority to blame just like Carroll because it's the last self enforced error.
