Pats' comeback was epic, not taking anything away from them. That game was crazy.
But Falcons could've killed the game and made several crucial mistakes.
Put it how you want but Kyle made the worst choice possible.
They could have lost ten yards on an holding penalty on a running play and still make a 52/3 yards FG... as was said in an article posted here, all they had to do was NOT to lose 23 yards in 3 plays... They did because Pats' D made plays and Ryan didn't execute, but Kyle should'nt have put them in that situation in the first play.
He tried to explained himself about that play call and revealed he F'd it up, saying they were "on the fringe of fieldgoal range" "trying to get as many yards as possible"...
That's poor situational awareness. They were not "on the fringe of fieldgoal range", that was a cheapshot SB winning fieldgoal.
