Really Irsquoll take responsibility for that

I should know, I paid a lot to go see it.See, after being a Falcons fan my entire life this was the first time for me in the Georgia Dome. It felt very strange to enter a stadium where the black and red jerseys were more prominent than the opposing teams. No way could the Falcons bring me a victory in my first ever game in the Georgia Dome. Boy was I surprised the way the game turned out.The first half was pretty much what I expected to see. Drew Brees was almost perfect, the Saints held all the momentum, and even Reggie Bush looked good. The Falcons tend to make over-rated players look like Pro Bowlers.

Ask Panther fans about Delhomme after he's played the "birds in black".When the second half kicked off, the Falcons were down 16-9 and the Saints took the opening kickoff down the field for another Reggie Bush score My first trip was going to end badly The "WHO DAT's" were out in full force as well. Spouting jeers and rubbing the Falcons fans' faces in their undefeated team's success.We all know New Orleans is and always will be a mecca for the gifted and successful. Wait, nevermind they sucked worse than Atlanta in their history.No wonder they are so dillusional, they simply do not know how to act. But I digress, this is about the team and not those fans who can't act like they've been there before since they haven't...The Falcons tightened their belts, lowered their shoulders, and gave the Saints all they had in the second half of the game. With the game at 26-23, the Falcons had plenty of time left in the fourth quarter to drive downfield and either tie or take the lead.This is where our story gets weird. On 1st-and-10, the Falcons came out in a Wildcat offense with Jerious Norwood in the shotgun.

Norwood then proceeded to hand off to Eric Weems coming around the back on a receiver reverse The Saints sniffed it out perfectly. The result was a 12-yard loss and the Falcons then faced a 2nd-and-22.The next formation the Falcons came out in was read immediately by the Saints defense and linebacker Jonathan Vilma stepped in front of Chris Redman's pass to give control back to the Saints."It was obvious, while we were getting ready to run that play that they were coming off the edge," said Head Coach Mike Smith."Really, I’ll take responsibility for that. It should be my responsibility as the head coach to call time out and make sure that we don’t run that play. Either we call time out or put it in the hands of the Lord and hopefully we can run around a blitzing corner I take full responsibility for that play It’s not on the players. There is nothing in our system for us to get out of that play.

It’s something that I should have handled."The air in the stadium was let out and the crowd started heading towards the exits Not me. I paid too damn much for the overpriced tickets and I expected better. But that tricky Sean Payton, he thought it would be cute to fake it with 82 (guessing here...) year old Mark Brunnell which didn't quite work out.The Falcons had the ball back, time on the clock and only down by three. A touchdown to win, field goal to tie and two minutes on the clock It's go time.That's when the wheels fell off the bus The play-calling had become predictable.
