and it was from over 50 yards, not a given. We just had a unfortunate mistake at the wrong time that cost us, bad luck.

You make your own luck.

4 passes and 5 runs on a drive and the talking point is 'pass heavy as usual'.

Yeah, that surprised me, that both Ingram and Colston went outta bounds. I would've thought in the huddle someone would have been telling everyone to stay in bounds to force Atlanta to burn their timeouts.

Do we all know the difference between pushed and ran out of bounds?

The NFL does

2:33) (Shotgun) 2-M.Ryan pass short right to 80-L.Toilolo ran ob at NO 40 for 6 yards (57-D.Hawthorne)

4th qtr

Both are equally important. But they called the series like you wanted and what happened? We lost.

Problem with that theory is that I am going to give Atlanta credit for knowing hot to manage the clock better than we did and not give us that time on the clock.

The problem with your theory about the problem with my theory is that we still had all 3 of our timeouts left.

The one unfortunate mistake was sending our Defense to Atlanta.

We could have used them as we ran down the clock some earlier in the drive.

Running run plays in the mid field area take a minute off the clock and then proceed to score.
