I didn't mind the fake, it was the two plays before that I didn't like. A win is a win though.

It probably would have been a better call if Nicks wasn't supposed to be the guy that gets the ball.

disagree. terrible call. not good to put our already reeling D in that position to have to win it. we shoulda finished them with a TD but if not you take the 3 and force atlanta to get 6. the fake was bad. and low percentage.

It was a bad call

if you don't wanna kick and go for the first, just send the offense back out there

brunell rolling out looking for nicks and dinkins is exactly ideal

Kick the field goal. I don't think Redman could lead the Falcons down the field for a clutch TD with little time remaining.

It was a good call and a mistake by Brunell in my opinion. The call was risky and he was just trying to finish the game out and get it over with, and imagine if Brunell had made it? It just depends on how you wanted to play it.

If you are going to fake it, why not put the ball in Drew's hands, rather than Brunnell's?

It was a stupid call that followed 2 stupid calls (passing instead of running). Even more retarded is our backup QB not knowing how to throw the fricking ball to the wide open person. You can't give them time to close the distance when he's that god damn open.

Great call, poor execution. If Brunell throws to Nicks early, instead of going for Dinkins late, it's game over at that point. A made FG puts us in virtually the same position as we ended up in.

Going on 4th=no problem

Fake fg with a throw to nicks or dinkins=shaky at best

I agree good call, poor execution. Peyton was thinking the same thing I was thinking. Field goal(If it was made) and Atl goes down the field and scores a TD. If the D hasn't been playing so poorly the past two games he doesn't make this call.

Anyone who thinks that was good call needs to have their head examined.

Well let me clarify, it was a good call, but that 4th and 1 was probably a better spot to do a fake.
