Falcons: Mularkey is just that, and he had nothing to do with Rodgers TD

Let's be honest. Matt Ryan runs the offense. If it works, he should get the credit. When things don't work, he should get the blame.

don't agree, unless it's a no huddle play

Matt Ryan can call an audible on any play, and he does extremely frequently. Lots of times his audibles are followed by exclamations of "That damn Mularkey!"

You members of the Agenda Brigade are aware that Mularkey is the person who designed this offense - checks and all - for Ryan to execute, don't you? What am I asking? You clowns don't even realize that Smith is the one who calls no huddle, not MM.

You should really adhere to the code:

"Better to be thought a moron, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"

Or in your case, type it out and remove all doubt. Almost every post you make is painful to read, I feel bad for special people like you.

Right, you do realize that there are certain checks put in place by...MULARKEY....right?

Oh wait, I'm trying to reason with Peyton, not possible.

Anyway for the rest of us with fully functioning brains, we realize that Mularkey is designing the offense, and calling the formations etc. There are only so many checks based on personnel, and sometimes it's literally just the option of run left or run right. Just because the play doesn't end well after an audible doesn't mean it wasn't the better choice of a play call.

Take your propaganda elsewhere.

Peyton hit the nail on the head.

I am not bothered at all if people despise our OC. What I am bothered by is irrational criticism that makes no sense to anyone who is not already looking to validate an opinion. Also something that is quite annoying are people with the mindset that firing coaches, mid-season no less, is always in the best interest of a franchise. In addition to that, as Cooper pointed out, the MM agenda some people have is so evident, and so irrational, it makes me want to completely ignore their thoughts on the matter.

You can deny MM's contribution to our team all you want for however long you want. Anyone who believes MM is not a big part of our success over the past four years is delusional. Period.

Dude, your career here is over. But I am in a good mood so I am going to give you 15 minutes before I permantly ban you so you can get it all out.

Thank you Peyton, but fifteen minutes strikes me as a bit lax.

Well I am in a good mood and the comments he directed at me were so funny I wanted to see what else he would say.

The funniest thing is that the last time we banned him I advised him to at least learn who the moderators are.

Dave Archer has been asked by Mike Bell to explain our whole offensive process and not only am I certain he knows 1000x more than you do, but he makes you and your ramblings sound like you're a bafoon talking out your ass.

Matt is in every offensive game plan meeting and he has a huge part in play design. Going into no-huddle is a group decision that can be recommended by Smith, MM, or Ryan, but Matt has the power to simply enter/start/end it if he sees an opportunity or needs to address something in the huddle. The microphones in the helmets get shut off when the game clock hits 15 seconds (a highly enforced league rule), and Matt has the entire play book open to his read and the call is his and his alone. On top of that, he can alter routes and even tell linemen which direction to shift or block and tell RBs a completely different hole to run through.

Mularkey has been minimized to a huge degree and if you use logic and ask yourself why is that the case, you'll realize it's because he wasn't doing a good job when it was 100% all on his shoulders and he was making all the calls. If that was working, it wouldn't have changed. Ryan has far more control than MM does anymore. Actual control. MM can pre-scheme all he wants, but Matt is running the vast majority of the show and altering plays off reads out of MMs design.

Does that mean MM needs to be fired? No, he just needs to accept he has much less power and stop trying take over and just become a resource of advice for Matt and just let Matt do his thing. Matt is a better OC than MM at this point.

I could care less what Mike Bell and David Archer think. Bell is a buffoon (note the correct spelling) and Archer is just another former player who has never coached at any level, let alone coordinated an NFL offense. If Mularkey says we don't have the personnel to run screens - which was amply demonstrated last Sunday - then I'll take his word for it, not Archer's. The "Archer said so" argument holds no water with me.

And how can you slightly detest somebody? That's like saying you got someone a little bit pregnant. As much as you try to downplay it, you and your crew's agenda is hilarilously obvious. Ryan a better OC than Mularkey? That's some funny shit right there.

Keep in mind this is the same group of people who blame Mularkey when receivers drop easy passes.
