Falcons: MM shits the bed in OT

[Jimusmc]

you surprised?

I know im not

[RFlagg]

Why did we get cute? It makes no damn sense.

What I don't understand is we go to the running game when we need it, but we hadn't run the ball for a good 20 minutes. Its hard to say we should have punted the ball because its the Saints, but the way the D was playing we should have given them a shot.

not just him but smith too. go for it on 4th down when they would already be in FG range, what a fucking joke.

The end of that game is like going to a strip club.... I got all excited, but disappointed when we couldn't score.

We cruised down the field throwing the ball to tie the game. The calls were right the execution was off. That was the Falcons game to lose and they lost it. Great game nonetheless.

I don't know what Mike Smith was thinking this game... waste of a challenge and timeout on obvious catch, onside kick, going for it on your own 30.

Disagree. This is simple common sense. Why on earth would you risk handing the ball to them within field goal range?

[MilleniumFalcon]

Also that Terry Mccauly (sp?) review in overtime was idiotic. He lost control of the ball when he already had it past the 30 yard line, how do you move it back?

4th and Inches... Turner should make that. Or why not toss it outside? Or throw it outside to Gonzalez - no one was covering him?

I liked going for it.

I hated the play call and execution
