What a mess. A second watch will give us a better idea of how the Falcons managed to surrender eight sacks, but the first watch told us plenty about the intersection of shaky blocking (Kaleb McGary in particular scuffled against Cameron Jordan), a lack of open receivers caused in large part by Dirk Koetter’s inability to scheme them open, and Matt Ryan’s inability or unwillingness to get rid of the ball before he was taken down.
