re: NFL 2012/13 Postseason Thread
So any haters for the Falcons this week? Big time statement win! Look forward to Dallas next week, hell of a comeback by Dallas just a shame they couldn't pull it out. 2nd and 1 still can't get first down? Pretty embarrassing.
I was cool with passing on 2nd and 1. That's an ambush situation. On 3rd and 4th down though, you gotta at least sell the run and play action if you're going to pass. Of course with a spare like Felix Jones, it's hard to sell the run, but you gotta do it. Terrible play calls there, but this is Jason Garrett and Bill Callahan we're talking about here.
The fingertip out of bounds is just the kind of unluck Dallas has. You have to think at some point, it starts turning around in our favor, but guys like Romo, Garrett, and Dez make it difficult for the gods of fortune to smile on you. I'm not saying it's Dez's fault for having his FINGERTIPS out of bounds, but he fucked up plenty earlier in the game. Defense was solid again, but I think Dallas had 6 turnovers. You should be blown out when you do that, but the Giants defense isn't any good save the front four so it turned into a game.
