Actually I have zero rooting interest in professional football. I do not think Atlanta even has a fan base as it is a transient city. It was a fun game to watch after half and I am in awe of some of the skill level on display. Julio Jones and Brady were incredible down the stretch. I just cannot believe how these so called great coaches make unreal errors at critical times. If Ryan checked off on the sack, I would be in error here but there was no report he did. I can see why Peyton called his own plays.
Time management was the key there and there was zero help from the staff. 11 point lead with a made field goal and NE having to burn timeouts trying to get even would have been sheer impossible for them to win. That was Andy Reid/Brian Kelly football in crunch time and it was a disaster.
