First off coaches make the play calling not players. Secondly...emotions..things change...had the fg kicker missed n NE ties it..we are back to should of went for touchdown or moved ball closer to end zone. Way different calling plays from ESPN booth then on field. Many things changed or went perfect for atLanta to blow lead...doesn't come down to one play.

Run the ballComment -
100% stupid on Alt at the time and even more so after the gameComment -
Terrible playing calling. Reminds me of Seattle throwing the ball on the 1 and losingComment -
I don't blame him. I blame the absolute top meltdown by a coaching staff, ever.
At least there's auto correct. Took me ten minutes to write this.Comment -
No guarantee he makes the field goal. Minnesota would have gone to the super bowl in 1998 when their kicker missed a gimme when he had not missed one all year. Falcons didn't blow it, the Patriots made a playComment -

For you posters blaming ryan..you do realize Brady came close to throwing intwrcwption in end zone in ot..had the defender tapped.ball.back.and caught by at int. Then we say how.that's the biggest mess up ever. Game of inches and sometimes it works.and others.not. the ot drove by new england.....was there any doubt he wasn't gonna score td. As to.atl.being tired..fake injury and give.players 5 minutes off or put in substitutes..blitz...howie.long zinged Jimmy johnson postgame. Jj says belichek.best ever...Howie says how.bout.Brady best ever. So wait belichek messed up 3 quarters then got it right..or did a freak thing happen and Brady had best quarter in playoff historyComment
