32EBoozer Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I can't believe how poorly the Falcons have played after that initial 6-0 run. They have a beastly running game with Freeman and an all world WR in JJ. I'm just not getting why the collapse? Bowles fit exactly what we needed after the Rex years. Just go out and get the job done. Everybody is accountable and every should keep their mouths SHUT!

SMC Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 The Falcons' problem on O is scoring, which is surprising with them being 21st in NFL (9th in Total Offense). They are middling on D, being 15th in Total D and 14th is Scoring D, which is an improvement from last year when they had the worst Total Defense and were 27th in scoring. It is hard to pinpoint what's Quinn's problem is in Atlanta (they're already rumblings that there might be a housecleaning, including him, this offseason). But beating the Panthers might give him more life. Also, there is talk that the coaches are complaining about a "talent deficiency on the roster." But that was the rub on Quinn last year--he can only coach talent, while Bowles can do more with less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Strange timing for this thread. They are on a two game win streak and just beat the undefeated Panthers. Did you just wait until it was impossible for Quinn to finish with a better record than Bowles? They lost to the Colts, but beat the Texans and Eagles. *Also, I thought this was going to be a Brady Quinn thread which would be even stranger timing.

I was just looking at all the playoff scenarios, saw the Falcons and realized how happy I am with Bowles. Not just with our being in contention, but how he handles himself. He's made some mistakes but keeps learning from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmajet Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I am happy with Bowels, but Quinns biggest problem is a lack of talent; Bowels has done great things, but Macc started the process by managing the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYs Stepchild Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I am happy with Bowels, but Quinns biggest problem is a lack of talent; Bowels has done great things, but Macc started the process by managing the roster. They just beat up on the Panthers. Are you saying they did that without any talent? They were 6-0, and now 2-0 but were 0-7 in the middle. That sounds more like a collapse to me than a lack of talent. The Jets went through a malaise in the middle of the season too, but we gutted out a couple of them, and came out of it sooner. That's the difference between us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAjetFan Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Quinn has done a remarkable job with that defense. Talk about a unit of JAG's. Trufant has skill but needs more time to develop. They should have held onto grimes as well. Offense has been a different story, Shannahan is awful, Matt Ryan has looked like a shadow of his former self. I think they were hopping they could get one more year out of roddy white, and that just wasn't going to happen. they never draft OL/DL, and it shows. Dimitrof/pioli needs to go.

predator_05 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 They stall in the redzone more often than they should.

SpartanJet Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Personally I would have preferred Quinn and still do. Bowels reminds me of Mangini too much on the sidelines with that bland dumbfounded look minus the annoying gum chewing. I like coaches with a little fire and ones that will chew out players when they deserve it. I'm happy with the results this year but given the choice I would pick Quinn.

Joejet Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I like both Quinn and Bowles and believe they will both be successful head coaches. I am very pleased with the job that Bowles has done with the Jets winning 10 games after only 4 last year. I know we have some new and improved pieces but the coaching staff has done a good job integrating the new parts into both the offense and defense. The team has improved week over week and has put themselves in place to make the playoffs with 11 wins. I don't think anyone could have or should expected this big of a turnaround.

Jetsfan80 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 It's strange because Quinn and Shanahan seemed like a perfect combo. Quinn to fix the D and Shanahan, with his propensity to heavily lean on the # 1 WR, getting to work with Julio Jones (who in turn is having a monster year). Add in the emergence of Freeman (who I was dead wrong about, as Klecko can attest), and no reason this team should be missing the playoffs, but here they are. Some tweaks in personnel, however, and they're a highly dangerous team next year. Vic Beasley has made some strides too...he had a huge strip sack on Cam on Sunday. His career will be interesting to watch, as he might well have been the guy we'd have taken if Williams didn't fall into our laps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
