Alright…………… let’s talk about the Falcons game, and I promise I’ll try to keep my blood pressure down while doing it. TODAY we witnessed a masterclass in how to completely forget you’re a professional football team. Seriously, I thought I was tuning into an episode of “How Not to Score a Single Point” featuring the Atlanta Falcons.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I was actually gearing up to write something nice. I was ready to say, “Hey, even when we lose, we show some fight.” But today? WOW…. Today was the kind of game where you just stare at the screen in anger…
We lost 30 to nothing to the Panthers, and honestly, it was like watching a slow motion car wreck where you can’t even look away. We can blame the kicker all day, and sure, we let one kicker go just to find out the new guy might have forgotten which goalposts to aim for. But let’s not kid ourselves, this was a team effort in the worst possible way.
I’m talking about a full buffet of mistakes…offense….. defense…..coaching, you name it. If there was a way to mess up, we found it. And as a fan, I’m over here like, “Can someone at least pretend they’ve seen a football before?”
Look, I’ll always be a Falcons fan. That’s just how it is. But today was one of those days where you kind of want to wear a paper bag over your head. In the end, I’m just saying maybe it’s time to give the special teams coach the side- ye and shuffle the deck a bit in phases of the game, because whatever that was, i’m just speechless
