Who/what lost it for ATL?

When the Ravens beat us, they had to make every play to win, we just needed to make one play, we didn't. Same goes for the Falcons.

Difference is Atl didn't even need to make one more play, Julio won that game with his catch. Bryant could have missed of course, but the play calling (and execution) didn't allow him to even attempt a kick. It starts with the playcalling for me. Even if Bryant misses, running the ball would've taken more time off the clock, and made them use TOs. We never had the game won like that. Kyle and Quinn Fd up, im just happy he learned this lesson in Atl and not SF. He's a great play caller and im happy we got him, but he messed up there.

As a Defensive minded player. Give me a 25 point lead and you can send the offense back to the locker room because there is no way on earth I would let you slap me around in front of our fans and in front of my family!!!

...But ATL Defense took it like a By@tch!

Although Shanahan should have ran the ball much more, being up 28-3 should have sealed the deal. You have a defensive minded coach and a defense that played very well towards the end of the season and couldn't hold the lead. I'm putting the blame on Dan Quinn.
