Tony Gonzalez has said he's 95 percent certain the 2012 season will be his last in the NFL. A crushing loss Sunday doesn't appear to have changed his mind. Though he wouldn't confirm his decision, Gonzalez sounded very much like a man who was done with the game after the Atlanta Falcons' 28-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. "I've been very blessed. I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me," Gonzalez said at his locker. "I've had a great ride, an unbelievable ride. ... I have no regrets. Not one. And if there's anyone out there, media or anyone, (who) even think about saying that I'm going to have regrets, I'm telling you right now, that's not the case, and I wouldn't trade it for anything." Gonzalez said if he does return, it will be with the Falcons. He won't play in the Pro Bowl, saying he wants his last game to be with teammates. "I was ready today," he said. "I would love to keep playing, but that's the nature of the beast." Source: NFL.com

He still is really good. Tough to leave when the team is so close. They're probably just a RB/LB away at this point. And the one turnover more than SF made killed them. The interception was just a great play by Culliver. But the fumble on the shotgun snap was a Romo moment. I think ATL convinces him to come back by promising to fix their short comings.
