Falcons Let Up 17 Point Lead

The Atlanta Falcons have lost in the playoffs yet again to QB Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers. The Falcons were up 17-0 in the 1st quarter, but the 49ers rallied from behind to overtake the Falcons and win 28-24 thanks to HB Frank Gore's game winning TD.

The 49ers offense was the biggest factor in this game even though Kaepernick was limited with his legs. Kaepernick only had 233 yards passing and 1 TD. He also had 21 rushing yards. HB Frank Gore had 80 yards rushing and 2 TDs; one of them being the game winner. HB LaMichael James had 34 yards rushing and also a TD. TE Vernon Davis had 5 receptions for 106 yards and a TD, and WR Michael Crabtree had 6 receptions for 56 yards.

The Falcons also had a big day. QB Matt Ryan had 317 yards passing and 3 TDs. WR Julio Jones had 8 receptions for 148 yards passing and 2 TDs. TE Tony Gonzalez had 8 receptions for 78 yards and a TD, and WR Roddy White has had 6 receptions for 84 yards.

In the end, my MVP is Frank Gore with the game winning TD. He is a star and will have trouble being stopped in the Super Bowl.
