You have to be disappointed if you were an Atl fan w/how they didn't take advantage after that fumble.

Ryan looked extremely nervous being backed up at his 1....that's just the way it looked to me.

I know its ez to Monday morning QB, however that was an opportunity they had to erase the 2nd half disaster and they didn't take advantage...

The first play was some stupid short slant pass that was knocked down. And when I say go for the deep ball i don't mean drop back 5 yds deep in the endzone and wait for someone to get open. I mean a two step drop and a over the top pass that gets you to the 10yd line or further.

But why wouldn't Atlanta be right back in the playoffs next season? I believe they will still have Matt Ryan and the same receivers. And who is the window closing for? Matt Ryan is 27. Not like he is Tony Romo and turning 33

The only separating Matt Ryan from Tony Romo is 6 years. He'll get there.

The Niners were coming with a blitz, should've tried some short slant route, or a curl to the sideline with White in 1 on 1 coverage get some room. When they went 3 and out there and only gained like 5 yards in the process, I knew it was only a matter of time until San Fran took the lead because they were going to win the field posistion battle for the rest of the day until they scored.

This former Atlanta fan agrees with you.

Go Seahawks!

Apparently you have a different definition of "deep" than the general public.
