Baffling.

Falcons were just completed stupid in the last quarter. So many things they did wrong, this among them.

We were all pissed about the Detroit game when Luck didn't bleed more time off the clock, and that was just 1 or 2 plays. They were doing it EVERY PLAY.

The pass play at the 20 yard line in FG range. They had JUST TURNED THE BALL OVER the series before on a sack and fumble on just such a play, so what do they do? They try it again. With the same result.

Heck even just kneeling and downing the ball if you don't want to run it and bleed the clock, you still have a 40 something yard FG, very makeable indoors. I think someone posted the Falcons kicker was like 27/28 inside 40 yards this season.

I am just baffled. Its like they were trying to lose the game.

Screw you Falcons. You suck. You had them beat and screwed it all up.
