You can't "blame" Capers under those circumstances. But those same circumstances are why you probably shouldn't put the game in the defenses hands if you can help it. They deferred on the kickoff. Atlanta got 3 points. The Packers got zilch in the 2nd half. As the Falcons were mounting their winning drive I was more worried about how much time would or wouldn't be left when the Packers got the ball back. I had no expectation they would stop them. 1:36 with 0 timeouts and needing a FG to win sounded more appealing than 31 seconds with 2 left. Or 0:00 with 2 timeouts left.

And I apologize in advance to those who hate hindsight b***ching. It's the nature of fans and message boards after a loss.
