    Matt Ryan is to blame for the choke job...

    Matt Ryan took two sacks in the 4th quarter that changed the course of the game. The first sack wasn't that bad, but he fumbled which led to a New Egland TD. Now the game is 28-20. The 2nd sack was worse because it knocked the Falcons out of FG range and kept them from going up 31-20.

    Yeah, but why the hell are the Falcons passing when they were at the Patriots 25 and all they had to do is milk some clock and then kick the Damn field goal to basically win the game. No words.

    This is what single handedly lost the football game. You go up ten there, it's over.

    40 yard FGs are not automatic.

    He shares the blame, but the coaches can not call those plays. Ryan should have changed the plays to runs. Even after the first sack, they run for no yards, Bryant has a shot at a 52-yard FG. Guy is a Pro Bowl kicker.

    Which is a better option a 40 yd fg try or a punt from mid field

    Does Brady take that last sack? I doubt it. On the last sack, the Pats rushed 4 and the Falcons had 6 blocking. The protection was suspect, but Matt has to find a way to throw that ball away.
