I'm sorry, but the offense put up 24 points and 477 yards on the #4 defense in the NFL, plus ruled time of possession by almost 5 minutes. The defense has to be able to do something to keep the other team out of the endzone when the offense does all of that.

Good article and I agree, I mean also I heard a lot of people on the radio and friends of mine all said, the defense has problems. I went to a new dentist and we started talking about it, DEFENSE.

But I agree, look at what Matt Ryan did in the that game, he shredded the #4 ranked defense. What was our defense ranked? 24th. I think I saw that, Now, I'm happy about the season and that we got over the hump as in playoffs and shot the monkey. But at the same time, it showed, what We all knew, our D-line and defense needs to be better then 24th, know wonder they came back and won.

Matt Ryan did everything possible to win that game, the defense did everything to lose it.
