Let's analyze the 4th quarter meltdown by the falcons. YOU DON'T PASS ON 3rd and 1 with 9 min left and you have a 2 possession lead. I won't blame Matt Ryan for the fumble because Quinn should have never put him in that position. You averaged over 6 yards rushing in this game. You don't trust freeman or coleman to get you that one yard you need? You don't commit stupid holding penalties like that KNOWING that the refs are not favoring you when you have an opportunity to make it a 2 possession lead again with 3 min left. They were trying to be too cute and got cocky because of their 25 point lead and BLEW IT. I orginally thought the Patriots would dominate the whole way through, but who knew it would become the best Super Bowl of all time including overtime with a 25 point comeback.

Not only that but the time out handling was WOAT. How do you have less time outs than the team you've been up double digits on all game? If they don't use some time outs that last drive they had has more time and you don't have to rush it.

I still speechless that Matt Ryan kept snapping the ball with 15,20 seconds.
Horrible time manegment, horrible play calling. Unreal.

It felt like the falcons wanted to be aggressive when all they needed was to play the clock.
