    Fire mike Smith now

    Minute left in game they run on second down third and two 55 secs left he wastes a timeout. Third and 2 he throws ball stops clock. They get a fg go up 1 but leave 45 secs and 3 timeouts for the browns. No explanatıon for that loss

    Arthur Blank is thinking about it. It's not working anymore.

    These coaches have zero game theory skills.

    i think if a football fan dies and goes to hell he spends eternity trying to coordinate a meeting between mike smith, les miles, Andy Reid, and mark Richt

    easy tiger, you're making marvin lewis happy right now. You should have seen his timeout debacle today. Guy is clueless on how and when to use them.

    Is there a worse coach at clock management and play calling late in games? This has been happening for years.

    Terrible

    And their D for once came up big with 2 interceptions on the previous 2 drives. Giving Cleveland all that time and 3 timeouts didn't help for the last drive. He needs to go - long time coming.

    How do these guys become NFL head coaches??

    32 in the fukkin world and most football fans with a clue can understand game flow and clock management better than half these clowns

    Can't make it up

    You can't leave out Herm Edwards.....worst clock manager of all time. Now he's an ESPN expert. Go figure.

    Even worse than the timeout at 54 seconds, was the 3rd and 2 play. All you need is a first down to kill the clock and setup the FG. Instead, they throw a bomb, which was almost PI but the corner turned around at the last second.

    He's good enough to have a great game plan to get to the critical moments or games ... only to choke them away. Worst combo of talent and ineptitude that one can have, mainly because this culture is a 2nd place is first loser type mentality

    He actually did worse there. With Detroit out of timeouts, rather than taking two knees and punting with twelve seconds left, he ran on second down and they were called for holding. Clock stops. Then he throws??? the ball on third down and surprise it's incomplete. Rather than punting with a few seconds left, he punts with close to a minute left. Of course Detroit immediately gets in fg range.

    Then! To make it worse, he calls timeout on the first fg attempt, which Prater misses. Of course he drills it next time.

    What I'm trying to say is the Falcons should be patient with Mike Smith. He's clearly improving.

    Yeah 2 years ago when he was one pass and catch away from beating 49ers in the NFC championship. Totally should have been fired after that season.. good call

    Still a chance he can be fired, but huge win on the road with the season on the line. Great for the falcons

    If Atlanta had a competent defense they would be miles ahead in this division.

    Yes, Smith is the greatest coach in ATL history. ATL playing for the division championship now. Throw the records out.

    Knowing the Falcons, they will probably sign him to a 5-year extension after the game.
