Falcons: Did anyone expect the Falcons to actually win today

[Brehus]

If you thought the Falcons were going to win today you got the rose color glasses knocked off of your face.

The Falcons were 2-5 this year against winning teams and what does Atlanta play in the Playoff winning teams.

Second Atlanta always gets killed in the playoffs. You know the saying if you are a betting man always bet against the Falcons in the playoffs

I am for one glad they lost atleast now MM will more then likely get canned

No, but I at least expected them to score a freaking touchdown. Folks, wake up. We lose because of coaching. plain and simple. We where not even remotely competitive in this game

I didn't necessarily have any expectations except for the team to play hard.

That being said, the offense hanging a zero on the board was extremely unexpected.

The only positive is Mike Mularkey shouldn't have a job with the Falcons heading into next season. He doesn't know how to use multiple pieces the way a guy like Payton does. We need to find that guy.

[Brehus]

did you guys hear the commentator mention how Atlanta runs a very vanilla defense they don't try to hide anything.

I expected the Falcons to play very well on defense if we had a healthy Grimes, we did in the 1st half. I expected us to have some struggle running the ball and in pass protection but I also thought Julio & Roddy would burn them in the passing game, that happened except for Julio & Roddy burning them. That's why I was cheering for the Cowboys so much last week, I thought we could've destroyed them in their dome and was worried about the Giants. I had hope but deep down I knew we were gonna lose given our past history in big games under this regime.

Another positive I see is that a big free agent splash could potentially happen this off-season.

I said the same thing

[Brehus]

Doesn't matter how many free agents / super stars you have when the OC and DC can't use them correctly.
