i agree with you, atl has been opportune scorer all season and unfortunately this was the game where they did not score. denver's defense clearly is not the best atl has faced this season.

>>One of the defining characteristics of this team has been the ability to score TDs in the red zone. I can't explain it. The one possession in which we threw 2 fade patterns in the end zone was bizarre. The fade pattern is simply not part of our arsenal.<<

Maybe it had something to do with whatever the denver d was doing on the other side of the ball.

It looked to me like those long drives with the 5-15 yard plays would end in disaster. You can't sustain long drives without the danger of turnovers. ATL needed a couple or three big plays out of their offense, which they never got.

FWIW
