Refs screwed the Falcons. Delay of game penalty. Really. Not sure how there is a rule in place to reward a team with a 2nd kick after they missed the first kick

Refs screwed the Falcons? All Atlanta had to do was take two knees and punt the ball out of bounds with like twelve seconds left. Maybe Atlanta shouldn't have gotten a holding penalty and then THROWN AN INCOMPLETE PASS when they were trying to run the clock out...?

Mike Smith and the defensive coordinator have to take blame for the Falcons losing. Final offensive possesion to run the clock out was way to conservative. Then on the final defensive possesion they basically let Stafford throw to wide open players. Even before the 4th quarter, the Falcons were making stupid plays. 3 and 25 and you let the Lions get a 60 yard TD. Then there was the offensive possession where Ryan threw the ball right to Detroit. No Falcon WR was in site.

both these teams and coaches suck.
and the refs sucked too.
terrible showing for the NFL in London today.
I think they'll stick to rugby there.

It's amazing fans know better strategy than these coaches. Atlanta takes 3 knees and punts with 12 seconds left, they have a 99 percent chance to win.

sure refs didnt call the hold and they called the delay of game but there were many calls that were missed, lets not get into that. matt ryans pick and mike smiths coaching towards the end really cost them the game. who throws the ball in that situation like wow
