Atlanta won't come back from this.

They aren't making the playoffs next year.

Hey Coach. Julio makes the catch of the year at the 22. Kneel on it 3 times, kick a FG and win a SB.

Shanahan was what took a really good offense to GSOT levels schematically. This idea they miss the playoffs isn't all that crazy, IMO

I think you need to learn what hindsight means brother.

What a night.

I don't think they're making playoffs either because they would be the first team to have a second NFC south playoff streak. And that's gonna be the saints.

a shame they wasted a career year from Ryan

 

[jontaejones]

They still have the Hawks.

 

[Southieinnc]

We will see the Atlanta Hawks next year. Probably in front of your team.....

incredible. just an incredible turn of events. i hope this doesn't turn out to be one of those "curse" moments for the falcons' franchise, going forward.

 

[Golden Spur]

As a Panthers fan, I wish that was the case. But they're loaded. Their WR corps is sick, Devonta Freeman in the backfield, a young D that's only going to get better. I think they're the favorites to win the NFC next year.

Yeahh, the old chokin falcons came back out to play hahaha

I don't see it. This was a devastating franchise loss. Up 25 with 16 minutes left. I can't even fathom the Patriots luck. Don't get me wrong... they are great but this game was OVER. How do you take a sack with a SB winning FG I'm your lap. You don't lose if you don't make the turnover on 3rd down and miraculously the Pats get a turnover on the very last chance they could get one. I'm speechless and the combined greatness and luck.

I was saying the same thing... realistically you can't kneel there with so much time... BUT every play should a been a running play, just pound it and kick it...

Every year teams change somewhat though, it's never the same flow ... You always lose players and take in new players so it's hard to find that exact flow that was so successful.... This was a VERY damaging loss... Most teams that lose the Super-Bowl don't even make the playoffs the next year, not all but most...

falcons are very good. Injuries remain a large part of pro football but I wouldn't drop a dime betting against atl being in the tournament next year

Isn't he in the running for the San Fran job?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Not just in the running, he has it. Shanahan that is. Depending on the turnover, who knows what the ATL coaching staff offensively looks like. There was even a Chip Kelly rumor for ATL OC I saw today. Not sure how Shanahan does as an OC (he could easily be McDaniels 2.0 in that regard) but as an OC he's tremendous, imo.
