Oh please tell me how he got lucky. The guy is 7-1 in games that go down to the wire this year, I'd say that's more clutch then lucky.
Well I'm afraid that's not true, if by down to the wire, you mean games decided by 7 points or less. In fact teams who win lots of close games tend not to be able to repeat that feat the following season. If this clutch thing you were talking about existed, it would be consistent from season to season. Go look it up, it isn't.
The fact of the matter is that the Falcons were handed several games, by inferior opposition. The Raiders threw a pick 6 late in the game. The Raiders FFS. Ron Rivera couldn't figure out he had a better chance of getting his team to rush 1 yard than defending Matt Ryan for one minute. The Cards showed up without an NFL quarterback and still almost won.
Wins are a team stat. Matt Ryan may be great at completing long passes downfield but when it comes to it, if Carson Palmer was less shite and Ron Rivera less stupid, that 7-1 becomes 5-3.

Ryan still lead his team in under a minute and help win the game for the Falcons whether it be on the other teams stupidity or not. Ryan is clutch when it comes down to the wire.

That's the thing, you see it happen, and it's impressive. What Ryan did vs the Seahawks, if clutch does in fact exist, in the brain or whatever, that was it. Great stuff to watch. Same as vs the Panthers.
I had this argument with a couple of Falcons fans over on another site. Their response was to repeatedly shout at the top of their lungs about how luck doesn't exist. Hahaha, how quaint.
I think (and have nothing to back this up) that teams can definitely be un-clutch though. Andy Reid, Jason Garrett, Mike Martz etc, so unclutch.

You cant dispute his clutch performances. On the same side of that coin you can chalk them up to some shittastic decisions by the opposing team and inability to make a play when it counts.
What I have seen and what would worry me if I were a Falcons fan is not a clutch game winning chance. Its your defense and their obvious struggles stopping the run, your best defender being dinged up, and a style of QB that gave your D fits during the season. Also two extremely effective TE that your LB core look ill-equipped to cover.
But if it comes down to the last play I dont want to see Matty Ice with the ball thats for sure.
The 2 matchups Im most interested in is Asante vs Crab and Tony G vs SF LB's.

Sounds like Falcons fans are
A) Extremely insecure
B) Extremely nervous about Sunday
C) Doing anything they can to talk themselves into believing they will win this game.

D) All of the above
SRSLY though I will be a nervous wreck sunday but that is my normal status with these big games.

49ers by three touchdowns...

Am I nervous?
Yeah of course but I'm confident that we can win
You seem to be another Saint fan who just seems to be so obsessed with Atlanta

Im not real good with the obvious nor have i been on this board long but he does not appear to be much of a saints fan.
Just because he likes LSU doesnt necessarily mean he has to like Saints. Thats a Georgia thing.

I predict we get completely dominated but the other team turns it over 5 times and we somehow win the game ala Saints Vikings game.
