Blown coverage on Sanu's TD.

ILBs were short looking for crossers/hitches and ins. I bet a safety or biting CB was supposed to be back there but moved off to someone else. Same thing Burnett did earlier on that long TD.

You wonder, with all the hard-hitting Safeties on the active roster, why Spic and Span were even in there as much as they were.

Atlanta had timeouts and all the clock they needed. If memory serves, they were around the 45 with 2 minutes left. There is a reason that Atlanta was not in a hurry-up mode. The need for taking timeouts continued all the way down to 31 seconds.

The arguments for letting the clock burn keep making less and less sense. Now we didn't call the timeouts to try and rattle or rush Atlanta. Good lord. Yeah that was the plan!!! Atlanta had timeouts, at home, and are perfectly comfortable uptempo. It was easy situational football. You want to keep time over timeouts. Having no time makes the timeouts irrelevant. It isn't complicated.

Starks has looked no better than Knile or Action Jackson. He has had a real rough season. Maybe, just maybe, he was dealing with a nagging injury all along. He certainly didn't have his old burst.

I wish the Packers would cut Starks, but maybe they have reason to believe he can rebound.

Starks certainly is a-looking like he's over-the-hill.

Action Jackson isn't fast but he hits the hole hard and falls forward, from what I've seen. He's the guy they should call in short-yardage situations.

Bebop and Rocksteady can't gain an inch to save Tyrion Lannister's life when an inch is needed. Guess which one is Bebop and which one is Rocksteady. Hint: Starks looks like a Rhyno, Lacy a hog.

Freeman can run. They didn't get far versus nickel, but versus dime and all those pass rushers, they could had made hay.
