Can anyone explain how/why we disappeared for the 3rd and part of 4th quarters?

One last thing...I didn't really notice at the time but I heard it on some recap shows that ATL went into a soft zone when we got up by 20 in the 4th....JJ Stokes (I know don't poke me but I think he is right) said that he wouldn't be worried about ATL defense...he thought we got up big and went into soft zone and that fed into Russell Wilson's strength when he was flushed from the pocket....made a lot of sense....my only question is when they scored so effortlessly why not go back to our normal bump and run coverage....

Prevent defense and soft zone are KILLERS we need to stay with what works.....we 8 quarters of Falcon's Football to play....let's do this hoist the trophy....we can work on soft zone defense next year....then toss it out of our playbook....

i get putting people back on a hail mary.....but not when you are up by 20.....you play your game.....
