He criticizes the team even in victory and isnt going to throw it all under the bus when we lose. You saw the guy chew out players for making mistakes on the sidelines and equally so show them real encouragment warming when they get it right. Can't be like that all the time and come on the man has managed his team to the second best record over 5 years. I keep saying if you guys read the war room and the energy bus, you'd understand a lot about the philosophy that steers our organisation at present.

If you think Smith is pissed not pissed at losing then you're being stupid. But he knows damnly well that he can't go tearing into his 11-2 team in public and that he'll deal with it in private. The falcons have a process of bringing up the players in a game who made costly mistakes or decisions and they stand up front so that they have to confront their mistakes win or lose. That's the accountability that matters. To one another, not to the media and not the fans because they are not the ones who are getting them through these games. We're just piggy backing along for the ride. They are grateful, but what can we do for them that they cant do for themselves or one another. And you ca bet there have been times where smith Stands u in front of his team and takes ownership for his mistakes as do the rest of the coaching staff.

This and 11-2
