By that logic, the pickles on my burger caused the lady parked next to me to hit my truck with her door.

A lot went on between our score and their victory. Two possessions by Atlanta, a possession by the Saints, a fumble.

Everyone remember the clock hitting 00:00 and the game tied? Difficult to convince a rational person that clock management caused a loss in a game that was tied at the end of regulation. One could however quite easily come to the conclusion that defense allowed them to catch up, and a fumble in OT put them in position to win with e FG...

Clock management however isn't a root cause.

Somehow a football team can score too fast but in highschool with a date in the back seat there was no such thing.

You get it when you can get it, cause if you miss it, you cant get it back.
