How many possessions did the Falcons have in this game? 10 if that many? That's not enough possessions for an offense this good. When you have a defense that gives up a lot of yards that means the other team is on the field a lot which limits the offensive possessions which means if the offense doesn't score on every possession your chances of winning are very slim. I pointed out my concerns in this area months ago because it was that much of a problem.

I am not arguing against upgrading the defense. Changes are in order. But, we just witnessed two play off games where our offense could not advance in the second half. We did not score a single point in the second half......not even a FG!

We do not have the OL to compete against the top teams in the league. The good news is that we can acquire that OL pretty easily.
