ATL's decision to kick a FG with ball on 49ers 1 yard line with 3 minutes left...

What would you do as coach?

 

Frankly I couldn't believe it when they took the FG instead of going for it on 4th down.  I think that they would have converted it personally.

 

Quinn says...

“I chose to kick it there,” Quinn said. “Thought we were getting the stops defensively, we’d get the kick, get stops, use our timeouts and then go attack on offense. We’re a really good two minute team on offense. So, that was the reasoning for it. We didn’t stop them on the third down, they converted. Really that’s where the game took place, so I wanted to make sure I explained our thinking going into that one.”

 

I'm of a mind that I'd rather lose being aggressive than lose trying not to lose...

 

Hard to pass up a play on the 1 yard line to win the game.

Regardless of the time on the clock I go for it 100 out of 100 times. The 1 is the point of no return on going for 3. Go for 7 every time.

Quinn is a defensive guy- decision doesn't surprise me at all

If the Falcons were the legit team they claim to be they shouldn't have even been in that situation and they still lost.....to Blaine Gabbert. 

For reference, some people considered Blaine to be one of the biggest top 10 QB busts of all time before this game.

His logic doesn't make sense to me. If you're so convinced you can stop them and get the ball back, what's the harm in trying for it? Worst case is that it's a turn over on downs. Stop them then. You also would potentially have a better field position since they'd have to start their drive so far at the end of the field. They'd have to have an excellent punt to put you in a difficult position.

Also, if you get a safety or a turnover so close to your endzone, you're in pretty good shape.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
