Almost as bad as the Packer choke vs the Hawks in the 2015 championship.

I dunno about that... I mean this is 32 unanswered points in 20 minutes. We're on par with 93 Bills/Oilers here.

Good thing Atlanta was only averaging 6 yards per touch running the ball

They needed NEGATIVE FIVE YARDS or more to win. Somehow I think they could have swung it.

But, they went in a different direction to pick up NEGATIVE 20 yards instead.
This conversation would take a 180 if they ran and got stuffed. It would sound like we have the league MVP, most points, WRs open all day... they made a call and it didn't work.

You can't spend the last 18 minutes of the game trying to run out the clock. You'd think they'd have learned that after the San Diego game this year and as lost xiughibg upvthe New Orleans game. Apparently they did not. It'll cost you every time vs a good team.


Yes, feel the Packers pain. That's what we do with the lead as well. This is why Seattle and the Pats win super bowls because they don't shut that shit down with a lead.

Falcons went into prevent defense and run the clock out mode. If they stick to what they did in the first half they win easily. They did the same shit the Packers do.

Giants have had a great run lately in MLB baseball for sure... Thats the series where the Angels had a crazy comeback in game 6 right ? Just guessing didn't look it up ...

Yup. We found out later that Robb Nenn was pitching with a serious arm injury, which I guess helps explain how Game 6 was lost.

That is pretty bad. I think I should give Atlanta the nod for this one of biggest choke job. Congrats I guess.

Oregon was up by 14 at the start of the 4th qtr. Atlanta was up by 19 at the start of the 4th qtr (in the super bowl, no less).
Yeah, but I just can't ever get that monumental halftime lead ... blown away like a duck fart in the wind. Was a glorious thing to witness.

Too late now.
These coaches never learn. On top of it they ran the play out of shotgun. One yard kill clock win with a FG are you kidding me??? Most of those offensive geniuses over think it that's the problem. Hope Gase was watching this shit.
