Kyle Shanahan’s last few minutes as a member of the Atlanta Falcons couldn’t have been more brutal. His team blew a 25 point 2nd half lead due to terrible clock management and his abandoning the run despite having a great running game. The Falcons dominated 3 quarters and had a 28-9 lead going in to the 4th quarter.
After the Falcons scored their last TD halfway through the 3rd, Brady led the Pats on a 6 minute TD drive, a 5:30 TD drive, a 2:30 TD drive, and a 3 minute TD drive to tie the game. Atlanta’s best drive actually reached the Pats 26, but the pass play that got them there was called back on a hold, and it pushed Atl out of FG range.
Shanny’s offense had 3 possessions in the 4th quarter, a 3rd and 1 sack for a 12 yard loss, a holding penalty to kill another drive, and the 3rd time, there was 56 seconds left, and they were at their own 11. And they never saw the ball in OT, so there you go. Not Shanny’s best moments, but Atlanta’s defense couldn’t stop a thing and they faded badly in the end. Shanny bears some of the brunt of the horrific loss., but the DC bears more of it.
Anyhow, this game is about us and the playoffs. Seeing as we have Matt Ryan and Jared Goff these next couple games, this is not exactly a great time to be down two more DBs. But Jaquiski Tartt and K’Waun Williams are both out for this game. D Jones is outwith the dreaded high ankle sprain, and as we know, Sherman is out as well.
Hate to say it, but we might be in for another track meet. 37-27 or something like that.
Forty Niners Forever 
Lots of blame to go around. Drops, fumbles, penalties, Jones getting open at will, and terrible line blocking. Richburg was missed badly.
Shanny vs Quinn had trouble written all over it coming in.
F-A-M-I-L-I-A-R-I-T-Y.
And, nothing to lose in terms of playing spoiler.
Admittedly I had this game as a trap but, didn’t expect a loss TBH.
Thought for sure it wouldn’t be a cake walk or, to even cover the spread.
Offense was flat. Defense was exposed when the front 4 don’t get home.
No excuses at this point. If this doesn’t serve as a wake up call for the stretch run, nothing will.
Fuck, Madbum’s going to the D backs. I figured he was on his way out but I still hate losing him.
Yeah, we weren’t gonna give out a 5 year deal to Bummie. Oh well. He’s gonna give up a lot of home runs in that park.
The Saints picked up Jenkins today that should make em a lot tougher in the defensive backfield.
KC claimed Suggs, the Saints, Seahawks, and Niners all put claims in on him too.
