Falcons play calling cost them the game. Why are they even throwing the ball when their already in FG range, knowing that a FG makes it a 2 possession game and pretty much seals it. Amateur hour at its best. People can praise Brady and the Pats all they want, but they had absolutely no business wining that game. Classic choke job by the dirty birds. And Matt Ryan is still horrible when the play breaks down, can't improvise worth squat.
Bingo.
Not sure why people are giving Ryan some blame for this loss because of the sack he took. Should never have been put in that spot in the first place. 8 point lead with 2 1/2 minutes to go and sitting 1st down at the Pats 22 yard line. All you need is a FG to make it a 2 score game. Run the ball up the gut 3 times, at worst, forcing the Pats to use their time outs, kick an easy FG and then Brady has to beat you twice. Cannot believe the coaching staff went to passing mode in that situation. One of the all time SP bungles, right next to Pete Carrolls call.
