To me that's way stupider than Caroll not feeding Lynch the ball.
Because there's no upside in passing the ball in that situation. You don't even care about scoring a TD at that point, a fieldgoal is more than enough...

Hell they could have kneel it down 3 times and kick a forty something yarder...

Don't forget the previous drive when Kyle called a pass on 3rd and a yard and a half, Ryan was sacked and fumbled, starting the improbable NE comeback from 16 down with 8 minutes left. Kyle deserves a ton of blame, although Ryan knows better than taking the next sack when they were in FG range to go up 2 scores with under 4 minutes left. Complete meltdown by the Atlanta offense. They hung their defense out to dry.

Ryan knows better but as a OC you have to know that anything can happen on a pass play...

To that's a situation where you don't even have a choice. Double tight, I formation, run it up the middle 3 times, in the huddle alert "no fumble, no penalty and we've won", and kick the game killing fieldgoal...

At that point you can't even play call, that's mathematic.

The OC had faith in his MVP QB and his team had been successful all season and all game ,Ryan had the choice of changing plays.If you wanna blame a coordinator blame the defensive coordinator.

The Falcons offense really did hang their defense out to dry. The final time of possession was 40:31 for the Patriots and 23:37 for the Falcons. Almost double the amount of time they controlled the ball. Looking at the stats, you'd think that Matt Ryan had a fantastic game, but this is where numbers should be put into context.

1-8 on third down conversions. Horrible. Couldn't convert a third down to save their lives. Stupid play calling, stupid execution. This game wasn't as much as how Tom Brady won the game, it's more about how fucking inept the Falcons were to actually blow this game. They had to put in some insane effort to lose a game that had them pegged at 97% chance of winning. Say what you want to about the Warriors and Indians in their choke jobs, but those were 3 separate games. This loss would be like the Indians blowing a 10 game lead in the bottom of the 7th in game 7.


Kyle only had Freeman rush 11 times, and Coleman 7 times. SMH. He's a brilliant guy, but he often tries to be too cute and ends up failing badly. I imagine his tenure in San Francisco won't last long at all.

Niner fans think he's the Savior to all of their problems.. He won't have the talent he had in DC or ATL anytime soon out there. I think he has potential to be a damn good HC though, dude is smart and gets his players in great positions to succeed, as he did in Washington with RG3. Look at what he's done since Kyle left? Zero. So we'll see. Last night was on the whole Atlanta team

Like Ive watched Sean McVay many times do, Kyle went bitch mode. he bitched out. At one time in the 3rd quarter, the Falcons were averging 6.8 yards per run.

Yes he did.



This pretty much sums it up.

All The Falcons Had To Do Was Not Lose 23 Yards

[skinsfan69]

This Pats team might be the most mentally tough team I have ever seen.

[Dlyne8r]

Can anyone suggest a good rehab clinic in the ATL? I'm sure seating will be limited as I expect the entire Falcons defense to be enrolled.

[Alvin Walton]

Kyle Shanahan?
I remember him.
Hes the guy that had Cooley run the ball two plays in a row for 1/2 a yard.
He's a brilliant coordinator.
Good luck in Frisco, sonny.

Brady is the goat but Atlanta choked

There are so many plays that lost the game for Atl. But after the ridiculous catch by Jones that's when you run the ball and if you get to 3rd down call a real safe pass or even a draw. But you have to get 3 there and the game is most likely over.

So tired of Author Blank coming down on the sidelines. He looks like such a attention grabbing tool when he does that.

Does Blank come down to the sidelines during losing efforts too, or is he just a front-runner like Jerry Jones in that regard? He looked like his pet just died in those closing, inevitable moments.

What I saw in that game was...
Shanahan did start play calling conservatively, but it was more about the defense not blitzing or putting pressure on Brady that lead to his comeback more than the Falcons offense.

We also saw the power of having a true franchise quarterback. You see it with Brees, Rogers, Stafford. I saw it in 2012 with the RG (only year that I saw it). When the players around Brady raise their game because of the confidence that they have in him to achieve.

Speed Kills. The skins should take a page out of Atlanta book for player selection. Because if they didn't take their foot off the gas they would have beat the Pats.

skinsfan69 totally agree. after that catch quinn should have marched up and down that sideline, until he found shanahan, and told him its time to win the super bowl. run the ball, we kick the field goal, and we win the super bowl. its that easy. and most of these coaches do think they invented football. thats why you see dumb crap like this
