Random pet peeve as I was thinking more about the Falcons choke job, but even though coaches are getting better at certain aspects of decision making, there are other areas they are not. Quinn, for instance, went for 2 when up 26-7. The thinking of course is 21 is 3 TDs, plus 3 EPs. Fair enough, but the failure means it only takes 2TDs to tie, as 8+8+3=19. Kicking the EP there makes it 20, and yeah you lose if they get 3 TDs and 3EPs, but at least you make them score 3 TDs. I've said it before, but I really do think every team should have a dedicated game management specialist on staff to avoid these kinds of stupid mistakes. Falcons lost for far more reasons than just that, but even at the time mathematically it was a stupid decision.
