Mike Smith's clock management issues go further back than yesterdays inexplicable brain cramp...

I realize I could dig up questionable clock management topics by any coach, but Smith's are flagrantly poor decisions.

Ty- You are exactly right. I really like Mike Smith, he is a fantastic person. I just dont know that fantastic persons can be great NFL head coaches. Just look at Belichick and Sean Payton...What assholes!! Smith's first 5 years were almost done with smoke and mirrors. I think Matt Ryan, for the most part, is overrated. If you put some pressure on him, it's Steve Bartkowski all over again. Not even close to Brady, Manning, Rodgers...I view Smith along the lines of Rex Ryan, fantastic Co-Ordinator, but not a head coach. If I had a crystal ball, my take is he will be fired, and possibly get the head coach job at Jacksonville, where he started to begin with, and I would wish him tremendous success...Another thing that Smith struggles with (along with many other coaches) is putting the hammer down when the team is winning and dominating. Two years ago in the NFC Championship, the Falcons were absolutely destroying the 49ers 17-0. You could feel light switches going off on both sidelines. Falcons got incredibly conservative, and the 49ers switched gears. That was a game that Belichick would have never lost (especially at home). Arthur Blank genuinely wants to bring a title to Atlanta. With his finances and resources, and the Falcons moving in to the nicest stadium in existance, he should go after that coach that at least brings fans some genuine hope. I would not go the College route, I think Jon Gruden would be an outstanding candidate, just my take....

Ty, that link was fantastic - thanks for the entertainment!

Kevin - speaking of nice-guy coaching failures, just look at Jason Garrett. I hate to hear all the awful things said about him, as he's really a nice guy. But as a coach, he's not so great. I would rather have an asshole like Bill Parcells.

I think your Falcons are about to sink to second place. I am going out to watch the second half, hoping Baltimore can pull it out.

Guys on this thread now can look forward to the deciding NFC South game of the year.
Falcons against Saints, in the Superdome.

The Saints are bad, but are still in the picture to make a playoff push and pull an upset.
31st ranked defenses don't win many games, but maybe...just maybe

Go Saints!

But it's not the deciding game. If Atlanta beats New Orleans, but Carolina wins their last two - Carolina gets the South.

Aw, I see that now, Atlanta plays Carolina in the final week...
So there is a chance for all three terrible teams still...

Go Saints!

I think New Orleans is still 'good'. I'm thinking the following, but really hoping for a 'Dallas @ Seattle' NFC Championship, meaning I'll be $1,000 lighter.

1. Seattle (12-4)
2. Green Bay (12-4)
3. Dallas (11-5)
4. New Orleans (8-8)
5. Arizona (12-4)
6. Detroit (11-5)
7. Philadelphia (10-6) (haha)

round 1 Dallas over Detroit, Arizona over New Orleans
round 2 Green Bay over Dallas, Seattle over Arizona
round 3 Seattle over Green Bay

Predicting the NFC seems like child's play compared to the AFC.
