Kyle Shanahan: "I blew it."

at least the owned up to the fact that he blew it...Rivera would have blamed execution  

That's just it. At least Shanahan recognizes the fact he f*cked up. Rivera and Shula never see it that way, they think it's the players fault

 

Which is why we never see a single adjustment made by either retard

As with the Squawks game, it wasn't the decision to throw the ball that was a bad idea. It was just the playcall.

 

Don't throw the ball into the middle of the defense on the goal line. Don't throw the ball down the field on and 1.

I don't agree with this at all but at least he's taking the blame for his part in it. Hindsight is 20/20. People here rip on Ron for the running the ball instead of going for the throat in situations like that. Fact of the matter is the run game was being bottled up at that point. They had just rushed for a loss of a yard. He called a passing play in order to try to get more yards and possibly first down to seal it, because the running game was no different than kneeling it.

The problem was not calling a passing play there, it was Matt Ryan taking the sack. In that situation you have to understand what the hell can happen on the play and what you can't allow happen and Ryan had a fair amount of time to get rid of the ball (more than Cam had on any single play in SB 50) and he took a sack. Not just a sack but a 10 yard sack. After that sack you needed yardage to get in field goal range again and running it wouldn't do it. Hardly Shanahan's fault that Jake Matthews held on the play. The loss is due to many different factors and Shanahan's style of offense is part of it (big plays, not being able to sustain drives keeping their D on the field) but he was not the biggest reason. Matt Ryan was a bigger reason for the loss than him. And Freeman whiffing on Hightowers' blitz on the strip sack was not on Shanahan. That's on Ryan not seeing that on the field and switching up protections and on Freeman for getting wrecked.

    • The other thing about bo is he is the same player in the pros he was in college. He was absolutely a screen mechanic and left for Oregon because you can’t really have success playing qb like that at auburn. They just can’t recruit the players unless they out pay everyone else for cam newton.  Bryce in college was touted as a guy who could make throws to all three levels, hit the whole route tree, brilliant tactician who was “running team meetings,” etc. it’s pretty clear by now Bryce can’t consistently make the throws he did in college, and that’s being kind. He’s also not shown any of this touted football IQ nonsense we were promised. As far as what he supposedly did at Alabama, they’re saying the same thing about Jalen milroe right now and that guys gonna be running routes at the combine. Bo is exactly who he was going to be. Bryce is a fraud and the panthers got rinsed acquiring him. In soviet Russia if you’d given up that much to get great value Bo nix you’d be handed a chambered pistol and a confession to sign. 
    • There are games on UNC's schedule that you've earmarked as Ws that they will lose. Not sure which ones, but it will happen. Programs can't be turned around that quickly, especially with an old coach who's going to have to make the transition from NFL to college. He might end up being a good coach at the college level, but expecting a 180 turnaround and ACC championship is wildly unrealistic, even for you.
    • Actively rooting for your QB to fail lol   You're proving my point Mr. Miserable
