Like I said, there is no way to prove we needed the lights. We came back from 17 down in like a quarter without any lights out. Our offense stopped shooting itself in the foot, and Fangio made the right adjustments at halftime. Based on what i saw in the first half and in the NFCCG, I don't agree the lights were needed
Nonsense. They put up 28 points on the best defense that year. Even if you took away the defensive score that's 21 points,
something the Patriots allowed only 5 times that season outside of the SB.
Offense did its job. The HC who is a defensive guy gets no blame. The QB who took a critical sack, coughed up the football in key moments late in the game gets no blame.
Kyle only made 1 big mistake in that game and that was the playcall on 2nd down where Ryan took the brutal sack. But despite the bad playcall what made it way worse was Ryan taking the sack. Then the LT held on the next play. This is not on Kyle.
Nobody complained when Kyle dialed up the big pass play to Jones to get them into NE territory but when Ryan can't avoid a sack with plenty of time to do so it's still Kyle?
Did you blame the 2019 SB loss on Saleh? It was a defensive team and they gave up 21 points in like 7 minutes.
Dont compare the Falcons NFCCG to the SB either. Score was 24-14. 10 point lead at the half and we got the ball to start the 2nd half which we scored a TD on to make it 24-21, 3 point deficit to overcome vs a pass heavy offense that didn't run the ball well.
Versus the SB when we were down 21-6, 15 point lead for Baltimore with them getting the ball
to open the 2nd half, which they took back for a TD and made it 28-6, a 22 point deficit to overcome vs a strong running team.
Outside of us having to come back in the 2nd half the two are not comparable.
