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 
Kittle is a fucking One Man Wrecking Crew.
Fuck. Fumble.
Easy pick,and they screw that up as well. Really sloppy game with a team they should easily handle!!
Deebo with the terrible drop, but Bourne gets the first down.
Still letting Ryan hang in there. Someone needs to make a play here or we are going to lose.
AND THERE IT IS!!!!!
Thanks for the Gift 🎁 Atlanta!
Need to cash in for a TD!!
JUICY!!’
You deserved that TD!!
And Gould blows the PAT. Nothing is easy with this team.
No one in our secondary has really been able to cover Julio all day. Really missing Dickhead Sherman. I expect Ryan to go to him often from here on out. Saleh needs to dial something up.
Five minutes. Need a long drive here. Capped by a score.
Next big play or big mistake probably decides it.
Big third down play. Don’t want to put this on Gould and the defense.
Damm they need 6 on this drive!
I *really* did not want to see Ryan get a chance to win this game.
Goddamn it. Moved them right down there.
Okay. THIS game is going to give me a Stroke.
Shit.
And a heart attack. And Cancer.
That last play looks like a touchdown.
Fuck.
Horrible way to lose… but it was coming all game long.
Absence of Sherman was your ballgame.
How the fuck do we lose to the Falcons
Kyle was not as creative as he has been with the offense. They should have been able to score
Bad shit all around. The D looked pretty flat all day, but the O was atrocious. The fumble changed it all. Might as well rest the starters next 2 games.
Once again though, if we tie Seattle by beating them last game, what does that do?
Well, we win out we still get the #1 seed.
Stupid loss but it really doesn’t hurt us. In that if we went up to Seattle with a one game lead and lost, we’d be the 5 seed anyway. I think.
Atlanta has been a good team for a few weeks now. we were just missing too many people to beat a good team. We just gotta get healthy.
