Quote:Dumbest post ever. Falcons didn't play for 60 minutes. They thought they had it in the bag, and when they realized what was happening, Brady had the ball and they couldn't do anything but sit back and watch.

 

Falcons defense was on the field far too long, not only for the second half but for the entire game.  When Atlanta scored...it was quickly.  All of New England's drives, even the non-scoring variety, were time-consuming.  The announcers called it, but it was also obvious, the Falcons' defense was gassed by the 4th quarter.  Couple that with questionable (and ultra-conservative) offensive play calling and it was a recipe for disaster.  The Falcons should have kept the pedal to the metal, and it cost them.

 

And, as far as his Manning mention, what a crock.  Manning did nothing all game, that was the Denver D that won that game.
