Doing fine.

As i said in the game, If you're a Seahawks fan I would really be too happy about the win
Matt toasted the secondary in the 3rd, Sherman didn't shutdown Julio.

A minor miscue late in the 4th coast the Falcons the game
sherm gave up 3 for 40

I'm good w that

I'm including the missed PI in that

I feel confident in knowing we're no less than equal to y'all and were a decent referee away from being 5-1

Besides that last bullshyt fuccboi ass no call:pacspit::pacspit::pacspit::pacspit::pacspit::pacspit:


We did pretty damn good, like real talk when went into half down 2 scores I was like:sadcam: but then Matt came out got into his groove:wow:, defense showed a little fight :wow: and we marched up the field and got right back into the game. Thats what good teams do, we went against IMO the best defense in the NFL and knocked then right in the damn mouth. This is a lost that doesnt sting because them boys showed fight and Matt is showing us he can be that QB.

Like I said this game should have been the SNF game because both teams were:ahh::ahh: to the eyes, plus that no call would have capped it off like that Hawks/Packers game a while back:heh:

'Ticked' Dan Quinn to send Julio Jones-Richard Sherman no-PI play to NFL for review

Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn, who was "ticked'' when no pass interference call was made after Richard Sherman grabbed Julio Jones in the final minutes of Sunday's 26-24 loss at Seattle, told ESPN he plans to send the play into the NFL for review.


Quinn had not yet sent the play as of 3 p.m. (ET) Monday, but planned to do so. He expects a response by Tuesday, as is typical procedure.


"The league will certainly look at it, and they'll grade the officials, too,'' Quinn said. "I was certainly ticked off as a competitor. I'll let them comment on the play. But as a competitor -- you probably saw that on the sideline from me -- I was certainly, like I said, ticked as a competitor where I thought it would have gone the other way.''


Had the call been made, the Falcons could have kept the drive alive for potentially a game-winning score.


"The message I gave to the team, and I whole-heartedly believe it, it does not come down to one play,'' Quinn said. "We had our opportunities in that ball game to make game-winning plays, game-saving plays earlier, and we didn't do that. So it just so happen on that one it all got magnified on.''


The play occurred on fourth-and-10 from the Falcons' 25-yard line with just 1:39 left on the clock. Quarterback Matt Ryan tried to find Jones down the middle of the field. Jones attempted to make the catch but couldn't get everything into his jump with Sherman grabbing him. Sherman said he didn't interfere with Jones and claimed the Falcons got away with some offensive pass interference on a day the officials allowed physical play.


"Before I took off, [Sherman] grabbed my right side and spun me around before I jumped up,'' Jones said. "But it was just a missed call. It's over with. It's done. We're on to the next right now."


Jones was asked if he pleaded his case to the officials.


"That's not my job," Jones told ESPN following the game. "If they make the call, they make the call. If they don't, they don't. That's not me to coach them up on officiating the game. The only thing I can do is go out there and do my job.''


Quinn saw no need to encourage Jones to lobby for a flag.


"He's not one that wants to go for it,'' Quinn said. "I understand where you're going. He's not the type of athlete that's going to try and always call for the foul. That's my job to make sure the officials know that. So I was trying to get that point across yesterday.''


Sending plays to the league for review is weekly occurrence for NFL teams.


"They grade all of them, but sometimes we'll grade one to say, 'Can you help clarify this?'" Quinn said. "Some of them I use for teaching. I would say likely five or under (are sent to the league). If you're really pissed off, you send 10. But it does no good.''


Quinn said he won't send any clips of the 13 hits Ryan absorbed in the game, although some Falcons, including Jones, believe Ryan was hit late several times.


"They had some good hits,'' Quinn said of the Seahawks. "I didn't think any of them were blatantly out of whack.''
