Secondary: A-

Special teams: B
Coaching A. I know there were a few hiccups with playcalling but TNF on the road after a dominating win on Sunday and beating the home team like a drum… yeah the team was ready to play and that’s an A in my book.

Other than Darnold and his ghosts I haven’t seen many QBs have the look of being thoroughly beaten like Ryan had last night on the sideline. Also 4 games in a row where the other team had to go to their bullpen. That has to be intimidating if you’re an opposing team about to play us. And so was Judon’s comment that the defense wants to play like a-holes. Love it! Now let’s see if they can do what the pretender Boogeymen couldn’t do- dominate a great offense.

Aikman ready to lecture Belichick about kicking the FG instead of going for it and sealing the win when you make it…while at the same time he figured out that kicking the short FG sealed the win too. Lol?

The whole defense A+ and our O-line even though they missed a few blitz pickups, because of their dominance in the run game, I'd give them a B or B+...just dominated on the ground.

For sure! Some of their penalties hurt. Andrews drew a flag that wiped out a long Rham run

Andrew’s was thoroughly beat and I don’t think that run happens without the hold. Instead of 2nd and 14, we got 1st and 20 with a neat highlight of what could have been.

Not to mention pre-game and halftime. The two best color commentators Fox can come up with are Bradshaw and Buttfumble?!?!?

Yep, the offense had their chance and didn't git 'er done.

Yep... Bradshaw needs to go, and Saycheese never should've arrived.

 

[oldrover]

Game reminded me of the 2003 AFC championship against the Colts. Defense was rocking... offense was stalling and AV kicked 5 FGs.

That game's a nice memory.

 

[sb1]

Yep... Bradshaw needs to go, and Saycheese never should've arrived.

"Defensive co-ordinator Matt Patricia" and he calls the plays. Right.

Ok buttfumble.

A/A+ all around... It might've been only the FailCons, but a goose egg is still a goose egg, in their crib no less, though by game's end it sounded more like the Razor...

Special teams: B
Coaching A. I know there were a few hiccups with play-calling but TNF on the road after a dominating win on Sunday and beating the home team like a drum… yeah the team was ready to play and that’s an A in my book.

Defensive coaching A+

Offensive coaching C- Uninspired play-calling, especially on 3rd downs & during most of the 2nd half... Zero razzle-dazzle & only a very few mis-directions... Pats ain't winning any of the next 4 without those elements to their game plan... McD coached as if his personnel is better than it really is...

Now let’s see if they can do what the pretender Boogeymen couldn’t do- dominate a great offense.

Yep, and McD will need to open the playbook again to keep those defenses off-balance & on the field.

Aikman was horrible. He made another comment about pushing them back and making a chip shot FG a challenge. Wut? another about workign Harry into the mix. It was 2 catches

 

[TheRazorsEdge]

My summary of this game is summed up in 2 words:

Hightower's back!

They controlled the tempo of the game. Did more than enough to win and gave the Falcons a long field all night. Far from sublime, to be sure, but low key very good in a mid November game.

Honestly, I don't know if we need Buck and Aikman on the TNF broadcasts...these guys have done so many games over the years they are bound to make mistakes on air. I'd be absolutely worn out with the schedule they have. It would be better for them and the fans if Fox got another crew for TNF.

Sanchez is genuinely embarrassing. He’s trying to be a big-personality bro and just comes off like the cringy, garbled drunk guy at a party.

I also had a few questions for Troy Aikman. Such as, is Matt Ryan still super wonderful? Is the offensive line responsible for 100% of Matt Ryan’s failures? Did Matt Ryan actually beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl, while the rest of his team lost? Is anything at all ever Matt Ryan’s fault? And are you Matt Ryan’s proud dad?

Maybe they are saving dazzle dazzle for Tenn when they likely will need it..

Bradshaw legitimately couldn't string together more than 3 consecutive words without either saying the wrong word or pronouncing the right word wrong. It honestly made me feel pretty sad.

do you think a short week and the ability to beat this team while staying fairly vanilla, and not showing your whole hand may have come into play?


they won on a short week, no one got hurt, and they didn't have to show a lot on film to anyone.....no problems here

 

[50-yard-line]

The call on Andrews was legit (just wish they had called a few of those same types of holds on the LT against Judon).

The holding call on Smith on Harry's end-around, on the other hand, was complete garbage.
