The Falcons game plan was obviously to basically abandon the run, but use the short passing game to keep the clock running down. Everybody just stacks the box on the Falcons, so it was a good call. Matt Ryan will never have the stats to compare with Flacco because the Falcons don't play that kind of game. They play the clock-eating game, not the high-scoring offense game. And the Falcons could have easily won that game against the Steelers earlier this year, Dro. They lost on one big play in overtime, which certainly wasn't Matt Ryan's fault. Philly was certainly the only game in which they've looked pedestrian.
