Go get me a juice box!
.................it's disgusting to watch, really it is. I can almost barely stand the sight of much of our offense and the bonehead play by the defense in important 3rd down situations. We're not anywhere near the upper-echelon of teams, but man do the Fins make life harder on themselves.
Starting with Linehan. This man is the schizophrenic offensive coordinator and his coordinating is getting downright OFFENSIVE. He kills all chances of developing a rhythm with the offense. He's the only coordinator I know who'd GO AWAY from the Falcons biggest weakness - their run D. When he did get the running game going and the O-line was starting to push the Falcons around, he decides to whip out some ugly reverse play which leads to negative yards and then we're forced to abandoned the run. Does Scotty not understand that our O-line cannot sustain it's blocks long enough for these stupid reverse plays? Less we not forget 3rd and 2 and we've got that look in our eyes and he whips out a pass play. Let me think here, Gus has looked like crap all game and we're going to put one of the most important plays of the game in his hands? I'm seriously astounded.
.............Gus is killing this team as well. My God, he looks completely useless out there. I felt so bad for the offense. You could see the frustration on Chris Chambers face, Rex Hadnot's face. I would've condoned anyone of those guys walking over to Gus and chewing his pathetic behind out on national television. Gus makes playing badly look effortless. I never would've thought this offense would regress under Gus, but boy was I wrong.
............ Sam Madison is almost nearly as bad as Howard. Finneran ate him up, Brian frickin' Finneran. I haven't seen a carving like that since Thanksgiving at my aunt's house in '96. I never noticed how much of a liability Sam is in run support. He gets completely wiped out of plays, allowing power sweeps to the outside for big gains, like that last one Dunn ran to the left with over 2mins to go to end our hopes to get the ball back.
............ and what I still don't get is all this hype about Saban being able to instill discipline in a team. He's not proving that so far this year at all. We've actually gotten worse in that regard. It's beyond "they're still gelling." That has nothing to do with it. These guys are committing stupid penalties all over the field. Face masks, hitting guys out of bounds........... it's sickening how often these guys can't get off the field on 3rd down.
............ Well this was my rant, but this season is getting harder and harder to watch........... how much more time do we have to spend watching this franchise flounder with sunday coupon QB's? I think that's the thing I'm most disgusted with at this point.
