1st and Goal play calls

If you can't gain a yard, you don't deserve to be champions.

 

I agree, but turns out it wouldn't have mattered anyway. Anyone who thinks the Steelers are the better team is kidding themselves

 

They're more talented and better but not a team.

 

WE MUST LEARN FROM TONIGHT!!!!
1st and goal calls sum it all up, whether it's Haley or Ben checking out.
Coates drop early. He is our Will Fuller. Amazing when they catch a ball.
James not smelling the end zone with the ball.
Pats not afraid to QB sneak with Brady.
Kicker sets a record last week and can't make a PAT tonight.
4th and Goal, we throw the ball to Hamilton on a simple fade. No crossing routes? Pats even gave us a timeout to figure it out.

One team aggressive and the other passive. It's simple. We have to get better.
If you can't gain a yard.....applies to everything in the game plan and how we played

25 years as a head football coach at the high school level
10 years as a player.
Lucky enough to work 23 Super Bowls
Winning big games is always the same at every level.
No fear and being the more aggressive team.
There is too many examples to mention. Clemson not afraid of BAMA. That's how you knock off the best.
We just have to admit that the Patriots are simply better because they aren't afraid.

I would say Belichick will play Falcons the same as Bills in SB 25 and Rams in SB 36
It's ok to allow a 100 yd rusher as long as you play aggressive man under with 2 high safeties.
Dare them to run the ball. Both Bills and Rams figured it out but too late

Go Falcons. Win one for your franchise.
