Billick....Smith....ma familia..........

j/k - I don't hate on Smith for going for it. I didn't like the play call, though. Gotta go with a sneak...

I don't know why everyone is obsessing about the 4th down call. We were trying to keep the #1 offense in the NFL off the field. I think Roddy's meltdown, our WRs inability to catch balls thrown right in their hands in clutch situations, Weems letting every kick bounce past him, putting us deep in our own territory every drive, our DLine's inabilty to get a sack, are far more relevant to the loss than one poorly executed play.

It was nice to be reminded that the Falcons went for it on fourth down on three consecutive series last year in New Orleans, and got the win because of it.

Loved the call and would hope we would do it again in the same situation. Just hard count them and then sneak it next time though..

4th down call was right (should've even been 4th if refs didnt fuck us over in the first place) a sneak where ryan put the ball through McClure's legs for the first. or a quick pass action to a WIDE open TG

Well hopefully next time, the Falcons will call that and next time hopefully, it will be a different outcome. Known as getting A WIN!!

I liked the call. Everyone in the Dome cheered for it too. Just a horrible play and execution. I blame Mularkey
