I'm out of town, so this won't be the usual full analysis post I like to do.  I followed the game and then saw the last five minutes once we arrived.

I am so happy for our players.  They have been through so much this year, with the losing and the injuries and the coaching change...this was tailor-made for mailing it in for the remainder of the year.

And then yesterday, down 13-0 at halftime, that was a situation tailor-made for throwing in the towel for the rest of the day.

That wasn't what happened.  BG came alive in the second half with big plays on special teams and defense and on the road they rallied to win and earned the celebration they had in the locker room and when the flag went up. 

For as upset as fans get, the players are actually living it.  This season has been their daily reality.  They were the ones who went to practice every week after we lost.  They stuck together, they kept working, and they finally got rewarded.

So I am happy for them.  And proud of them.   Bad times don't build character, they reveal it.  It's easy to stay motivated when things are going well.  What they did was way harder.  They didn't create this mess, but they fought through it.  I'm very proud of them as a Falcon.
