You don't kill clock when your 4 points down, you try with all you got to score.

Don't get me wrong, it is a bit risky, but the way we were running the ball and with the amount of push our o-line was getting all day, I think you have the confidence to waste one play there at the goal line and then punch it in. Give the Falcons the ball with 50-something seconds left and it's a lot harder for them to get in field goal range.

All this wouldn't matter if the D had proven capable of stopping anybody, obviously. The D clearly lost this game for us. Still it's winnable game, if we kill just 30 seconds off the clock at the end.
