All that being said, the Falcons' play calling in the second half was very Shawgren-esque.

Yup, Shawgren-esque.  Save the 3rd and 1 where the had that sack-fumble.  Or the 2nd & 11 with the big loss sack.  Or the impossibly bad holding penalty on 3rd down.  Those three plays were not very Shawgren-esque.

If you are going to do the conservative play calling while up by 25 that's cool.  Just stick with it for any of those three plays and walk out of the stadium with a Super Bowl win.  Do anything close to decent clock management and you also get out of there with a win.  They were Shawgren-esque for most of the game after they were up 14-0, except for a handful of plays.  In the end, Power O with the lead was not the Falcon's game and when they needed that style they didn't really have it.  Oh well.  I can't imagine how hard that loss would be if I was an Atlanta sports fan.  In the end, I am already thinking about March 18th.

I guess this is also good for NY Giants fans as clearly THEY are Brady's only Super Bowl kryptonite.
