The Falcons Were Lucky

Just putting this out there because I think we’re getting a little hyper critical of these coaches and players. I include myself in this, not pointing fingers…

Shaheed made a costly mistake and the Falcons were very fortunate that he did.

The tipped pass pick 6 was a fluke

Not getting that fumble was very unlucky.

You take away those extremely lucky events for the Falcons and they:

Were dominated in time of possession 35 - 25 min
Dominated in total first downs 25-14
We were solid in 3rd/4th down conversions
We were less penalized/more sound

We just got unlucky. Blame your apparel selection or whatever your ritual you strayed from if you have to blame something. Blame Rasheed Shaheed for the muffed punt I guess.

Really, the Falcons were lucky, they stink, and all this criticism is mostly unwarranted in my uneducated opinion.
