I never really expected for us to beat the Falcons in Atlanta, so this loss is not as gut wrenching as last weeks debacle. I am REALLY thankful that we lost in the manner that we did.
Warner suddenly looks like an old man playing a young mans game who stayed in the game a little to long. We saw the same mistakes again. Fumbles, interceptions and the most glaring mistake of holding the ball way to long.
By the way, our play calling sucks. When we should be tryng to take some time off the clock we pass. When we should be conserving the clock we stroll around like we had all the time in the world.
We had a 10-9 lead with around 4:00 left in the first half. If we would have attempted to run the ball 3 times and ended up punting we would have eaten up at least a minute and a half. Instead, we throw 2 incompletions, ended up punting and gave Atlanta the ball back with just under 4 minutes to play in the half. They ended up kicking a FG with 9 seconds left.
Back to my point. Matt Leinart will breathe some life into this team. I'm not saying he is going to turn this season around single handedly, but he will be a refreshing change.
His first play? A quick pass to Fitz. Five yard gain. That play was open a dozen times and we never threw it. Did you notice the zip on his throws? Did you notice his quick release?
The last thing I wanted to see was Leinart in there when we fell behind by 20 pts. THATS feeding him to the wolves.
He's going to make mistakes, but I can live with the growing pains of rookie mistakes. I can't tolerate Warner doing it.
One thing I am fairly certain about...with Leinart at QB we WILL score more that 3 pts.
K.C doesn't know what their in for.
