Absolutely. Ryan could've taken a knee on the ensuing next two downs after Julio's catch, setting up a very makable field goal.
Hindsight is 20/20, as they say... Julio Jones is a beast. That catch, tippy-toes ballerina-style... not to mention Ryan's throw having to be spot-on perfect, to avoid the pass being deflected or intercepted? Remarkable throw into a very tight route near the sideline! Ryan played well enough to win that game imo.
And then to see how that was squandered over the next two plays?!
Gotta be hard to accept. Impossible to accept had it been anyone other than Brady getting the ball back and with enough time remaining to tie the game.
