That was ... embarassing. But what else is new? This season was doomed from the start. And because Arthur Blank is unwilling to pull the trigger, Dan Quinn will likely remain the head coach of this football team for the foreseeable future. These are the days of our lives.
The Falcons went into this game beat up mentally and physically. They needed a win and they needed to stay relatively healthy. Unfortunately they failed on both fronts.
Six starters were sidelined before kickoff, including their WR1, Julio Jones. Their WR3, Russell Gage, was knocked out of the game with a concussion after taking a big hit.
