 Lets spy on the Falcon's forum for a bit:

Our run game is fraudulent

Some of the worst offensive I have seen by Commanders and Falcons on back to back drives lmao. That is some ugly football.

**** the bed with the momentum

Arthur Smith needs to be more consistent in his play calling. That first drive was pretty much perfect, everything after that has been hit or miss.

My young daughter asked me if Freddie Falcon was the coach. Might as well be

Young has been playing well. We play soft that the quick passes are always there, so no time to get sacks really.

 

But Young has been disruptive and close a few times. 


He’s also being held. But they apparently are not calling those when we are on defense.

Yep thats what Im seeing as well.

 

We need to tighten up the coverage so our pass rush can actually get there. 
 

First possession of the 3rd quarter will be very telling.

I agree. In fact I think the whole drive we were better to take the sacks. Let the clock run. Throwing incomplete is bad. 


why? You can still get into field goal range even if you don’t actually complete a pass along the boundary until 3rd down. Very little time runs off the clock on a throwaway, it doesn’t really matter on which down you move the sticks in that situation as long as you don’t burn too much clock. And then you get another set of downs to do the same thing.

 

Not to mention the calling, execution and pace of those 2nd and 3rd down plays probably go differently if you aren’t rushing to the line bc the clock is running due to sacks. Instead the clock would be stopped from incompletions and you could take longer choosing and getting a play in, getting set and seeing what look the defense gives you, etc. The odds of a conversion on 2nd or 3rd down increase with incompletions over sacks there imo. 

 

3rd down, once the play failed, was the time to take the sack or run around. Kill clock because you’re gonna punt to then anyways after failing to convert. But on 1st and 2nd down incompletions are no doubt better if you actually want to score. Sacks and keeping the clock running are only better on 1st and 2nd down if you take it as fated that we’re gonna fail on 3rd down and have to punt away to them anyways—I don’t think that’s necessarily true if he’d thrown incompletions on 1st and 2nd down though. I think they’d have a better shot at driving for points.

Everyone admits it. First sack was on him. Second sack wasn’t. Third down should have taken a sack. I’d actually argue taking sacks on that entire drive was a better idea than throwing it away and stopping the clock. 

I can understand that line of thinking but you take the sack and you risk injury, you risk a fumble and worse of all you give the opposing team and sense of momentum. Just has to be careful, this is way to many hits.
