Look, as a Falcons fan I’ve ridden this rollercoaster for a while but yesterday’s game against the Dolphins was on a whole different level of brutal. I mean I’m not even sure how to start this blog post without just throwing my hands up. We didn’t just lose to one of the worst teams in the league………….we got absolutely blown out. And trust me as a fan that stings in a way that’s tough to put into words.
Here’s the deal, it’s not just the loss itself. Losses happen. We all know that but getting our butts handed to us like this!! another blowout! another embarrassment! is like watching the wheels come off in slow motion. We’ve got a lot of season left sure, but this is the point where you start wondering if the door is closing on anything hopeful. And that’s a hard pill to swallow.
I’ve tried to stay optimistic but how do you stay positive when you’re right back at square one wondering why this team can’t get it together? It’s like we’re easy to read, easy to outmaneuver, and just not clicking where it counts.
And yeah I can’t help but think about the coaching situation. I like Raheem Morris. I think he’s a smart guy and a solid leader and I don’t think it’s all on him. But when you see blowouts like this you do start wondering if we made the right call. Could someone like Bill Belichick have done something different if he were given the coaching position instead of Raheem Morris? I don’t know. I’m just saying something’s not right, and it’s painfully obvious.
So yeah, that’s where we stand. It’s just a game sure, but it’s also a matter of pride. And right now, my pride has taken a beating. We’ve got to figure out how to get this engine firing again before that door closes for good this season.
