IMO, the Falcons couldn't keep up the fast pace they had in the first half and ran out of gas. Secondly, they went into a "prevent" defense and we know that never works. Thirdly, the really stupid empty-backfield pass play started their meltdown. Overall the Patriots are a well coached team that requires each one to "do your job". The Bengals just talk about "do your job".
I have a 2/3/17 letter from Mike Brown that I want to include in a reply ifr I figure out how to do it. It is a sad commentary on the mindset of the owner and coaches. Not hopeful from a fan's standpoint.
