OK..........this was a waste of a thread, but lets give it some purpose.
I like Sing's approach to the game; his toughness, his old school mentality, etc. etc.
And there are times when you need to huddle the team together and give them a peptalk. BUT what he did today was NOT the time. This is not pop warner football, folks. These are professionals who have played in MANY games in MANY situations. They know when to pick things up. Now, I can understand calling a TO because your defense is winded. Or even if the opposition is making a final gamewinning drive and you want to make sure everyone is on the same page.
But really....calling a timeout in the FIRST QUARTER to give your team a pep-talk ? Is that really necessary ? Could he not have just waited for the next tv timeout or at the end of the quarter. Wasted TO which led to Walker's non-fumble going unchallenged..........
I am really too worked up to think straight and this thread was a little thin in substance but he cost us a turnover plain and simple.
Just out of curiosity, what do his players think about it... "He is a HOF, he is wonderful"
Sing saw the same thing everone watching the game saw, a team playing flat and about to go down hill because of poor attitude. Unlike us though, he is in a position to do something about it. He took the time to address the team to pick it up and start playing like they are capable of.
As far as the "professionals" playing in today's game, that is debatable from their actions on the field. Everone was playing flat and with no emotion. It's like they believed the media hype and expected the Falcon's to be an easy win.

I agree. A big rookie mistake cost us a timeout. A blown coverage cost us a TD. Not protecting the ball cost us a turnover. Calling a timeout did not cost us a win.

Maybe he should have pulled his coaches aside then. How long had it been since they left the locker room. 15 minutes? What more are you going to say. You had all week to get that s**t across. Maybe Singletary didn't have them ready. He had a whole week to make his point.
He cost us a turnover. that is the fact

CALLING THAT TIMEOUT COST US A f**kING CHALLENGE. FALCONS GO ON AND SCORE AGAIN. IT f**kING COST US. DON'T TELL ME IT DIDN'T. SINGLETARY f**kED UP.

Blame that on Coffee who thought it would be a good time to get a drink when the rest of his team was running down field to line up. What Coach did was try to rally his troops because they were playing flat. Something no one can blame him for doing.
