Your coach:
Cancer Chilly
The play:
I don't think I've ever laughed harder at a play in my life. I didn't know what they were trying to do then, and I still don't know now. I'd write it up, but how could I possibly explain it? All I know is that on 4th and 3 in a 6 point game in the middle of the third quarter, they decided to snap the ball to Colt Anderson, a safety, with only Griff Whalen, a wide receiver, to block multiple Patriots lined up across from him. In the words of Cris Collinsworth, what the heck........
(oh yeah, and they were also lined up illegally, fine work all around)

ill have dan quinn blows the superbowl
the whole 4th quarter was an abomination but i'll focus on the play which took them out of FG range b/c imo it's the most prominent brown jewel in dan quinn's crown of failure
falcons are firmly in control in part due to this mad bastard catch
score is 28-20, 4 minutes to go. falcons have the ball 2nd at 11 on the pats 23 yard line. a FG goal attempt from here would be a 40 yarder. they have matt bryant, one of the best kickers in the league.
two runs into the line and a good FG means the pats would have about 3:30 and 1 timeout to score a TD, a 2 point conversion, recover an onside and kick a FG for a tie. thom bardy is exceptionally good at cheating but that's a lot to ask
if you want to get super fancy then why not a sweep play? pats will prolly be clogging the middle (because only a complete arse would do something other than run into the line twice), so maybe you'll find some space out there. just be careful not to run OOB as stopping the clock would be worst case scenario
instead the falcons opted for the slow developing shotgun snap + 7 step drop roflbonanza play, risking not just the worst case scenario but, as it turned out, something much worse than the worst case scenario: a 15 yard sack taking the falcons out to the very edge of FG range and, as it turned out, out of lombardi trophy grasping range

Prior to 2nd down. I turned to friend next to me and said, "I'm running it up the middle 3 times here and kicking the field" [when up 8] "I'd be afraid of something bad happening." Bam sack. Bam holding penalty.
I've posted this stuff so many times so it feels sooooooo good. They're over 80% to make the field goal there, but every team is too man enough to basically take 3 knees and kick a field goal. Sorry Dan. Game over. You suck
So many lols. Snapping ball with sooo much time left on play clock with running game clock. Patriots kick field goal down 19??? Bahahahahahahaha. Thought I'd die before a team had 2 TDs and convert both 2 pointers to tie game.
See ya guys in September!

there's a difference between conservative play for no reason and just game theory optimal playcalling that happens to be conservative. passing some % of the time might be right based on defensive looks and randomization of play calling but the % is exceedingly low, and the pass plays you should call probably don't allow for sacks of that magnitude to be at all common.
