The Falcons were gifted many calls throughout the game that were considered ticky-tack, but it's not like ATL won the game through those things.
ATL absolutely won the game because of some of those calls.
1)the phantom roughing the passer lead directly to their first TD. That was on 3rd down after the saints made a stop to get off the field.
2) the refs literally took 3 points off the board for a borderline call right before half. That's a penalty that ALWAYS gets a warning first.
3) the falcons were gifted multiple first downs on their second TD drive as well.
It wasn't that the ticky tacky calls were definitively wrong calls other than the roughing the passer, it's that the same ticky tacky calls were not going against the falcons.
ATL couldn't drive on the saints so the refs decided to drive on us instead. They were legit looking for flags to throw on the saints. It was an absolute joke.

The falcons offensive gameplan against the saints was as follows:
First down - struggle
Second down - struggle
Third down - rely on a penalty to move the ball down the field
Then hope something happens in the red zone because the refs can’t put it in the end zone for them
Their coach is a genius because it worked

Agreed. The fix was in, and there isn’t a better way to win.

That’s the way I saw it too. I didn’t want this thread to be solely about that game, but it’s too recent and too blatant for it not to be used as the premiere example.
