In many ways, the Falcons game against the Eagles seemed more like a “preseason game 5” than the first game that counts. It was a sloppy, penalty ridden affair that was a nightmare for Falcons fans even as it dragged into the wee hours of the morning. For a while there, it looked like half of our defense was going to be out with injuries, though the status of Keanu Neal is still concerning. You probably already know some of these takeaways, but alas, here we are.
There’s no way around this, but this was easily one of the worst games Ryan has had in a long time.
