Originally posted by Young2Rice:Yeah i feel you on that. But narrowing in on the end of the game, the two coaches gotta understand the situation. Harbaugh i get was calling passes in response to he defense to try and score. All shanny had to do was run, run, run, kick fg and its game over. He was trying to push the ball forward for no reason, they didn't need to score a td.
Imagine if we were up and just had to run out the clock yet jimbo called pass plays. That would be more egregious.
And what happens if a FG isnt enough with the way the Patriots were buttf**king the Falcons D with no lube and without even the courtesy of a reacharound?
"Shanahan took his foot off the pedal, herp derp."
The Falcons defense was helpless to stop the Patriots the entire second half including the drive afterwards and in overtime. Their entire team completely melted down. The Patriots shouldn't have been even within striking distance but yeah it was totally all Shanahan's fault.
