NFC Championship Game Thread: San Francisco at Atlanta (FOX, 3PM EST)

I'm intrigued to see what Chip Kelly does in the NFL. He's one of the few coaches I think does things like that.

Same here. He does some things "unconventional" but if you think about it most of them are really smart, logical decisions.

More like 10-11. They wouldn't have gotten 6 seconds run off on a play that was essentially "run a few yards backwards into the end zone and don't lose the ball"

Still, a FG attempt wasn't on the table. Suppose they only got the clock down to 10 seconds. Even if the 49ers just kicked the free kick out of bounds, with no timeouts, there is no way the Falcons get into range and get the clock stopped. No matter what, the game was going to end with the Falcons heaving the ball into the endzone for the win. All an intentional safety does is take the potential for a blocked kick being recovered for a TD off the table. The more I think about, it still might have been the least risky option.

Damn the defense in the final 3 quarters. Other than ripping it out on the goal line, they fell apart.

That too.

The linebackers seem to have some serious problems in coverage.

Safety too. Thomas Decoud continually was chasing Vernon Davis rather than covering him.

Superbowl baby. That was a damn close game. Matt Ryan can ball, much respect for that offense.
