I'll say it. We got a little lucky

I would be pissed at that call if it was the other way around, but I've always liked to see the players play it out at the end

Heck yeah they got lucky. Coaches were seriously out coached and Sherman had his worst game ever. The Hawks tried their best to give this game away and then literally had to steal it back at the end.

Clearly wasn't a matter of coaching and luck has nothing to do with multiple blown coverage due to lack of continuity at the safety position. The reason it was this close was purely a lack execution in several critical situations.

It was a smart play by Sherman. Julio Jones is unbeatable without doing a little of that.

Never want to see a game like that out of Sherman with two blown coverages for TD s and potentially giving up a game losing PI

You got lucky. That PI was way worse than what they called on Alford...

Incorrect.

And you are avoiding the no call on Kearse. It evened out.

Also no guarantee you would have scored even with PI call.

Tough ....

Enjoy the loss.

You're right. That was PI as well that wasn't called.

Correct. Gift.
No. Kearse has his jersey yanked which kept him from scoring a TD. Even. There's no guarantee you win even if Julio makes that catch.

Possibly slightly worse than the one they didn't call on Alford, not even close to the one they did. Enjoy your excuses, I am sure enjoying the win.

Jersey yanked? Your secondary did that all game. You're whining about a Jersey Yank?

Julio had his entire left arm held down and was spun around by it. Yet, that's comparable...

My Dad can beat up your Dad.
It's not the no-call, it's the possible result of the no-call. How bad the PI is doesn't matter.

Well, that's one point of view. We may have gotten lucky in the last play, but there were several plays where we lacked luck.

What about the easy catch that Graham dropped on 3rd down in the first half? Atlanta took it back for a FG.
What about that easy throw that Wilson threw out of reach to a completely open Lockett on 3rd down in the 3rd quarter? Atlanta took it back for a TD.

If any of those 3rd downs are converted, we're not even talking about that last play.

Everyone always remembers the last no-call and not the bunch of no-calls before the last no-call.

Yes. The falcons had a mugger at corner. He only got one flag.

Sherman redeemed himself with veteran savy.

We might be the luckiest team in the NFL minus "the play that shall not be named."
