Falcons: People are really going to bitch about this play-calling?

Those who paid attention saw that we all but abandoned the run and went pass heavy in the second half, despite being up by 20 points when it began. In fact, the very first play of the second half was a 45 yard bomb to JJ.

Even if the Seahawks were stacking the box to stop the run (they weren't), that doesn't mean you stop running the football.

This game was close because our O-line couldn't pass block in the second half, and because our defense just plain sucks.

It's obvious you agenda pushers see only what you want to see.

Right, and your logic is sound?

Lets see... because the Ravens have a good enough OL to predictably and successfully run the ball 11 times in a row and get 4 first downs doing it, that means WE should keep predictably running the ball too.... Wait, what!??

I mean why did you even bring up the Ravens ability to run the ball at will when our OL can't do what their OL can? You clearly tried to use the Ravens as some kind of justification, which is asinine considering the differences in the two OL's.

And just so you know, it was 14 run plays to 22 pass plays in the second half. That's certainly NOT "abandoning the run", especially when those 14 run plays netted a whopping +17 yards when all was said and done. On top of that, we were 3rd and long 8 times in those 22 pass plays so we HAD to throw.
