Falcons: I still hate Bill Barnwell, but you should read his article about Ryan

Not to mention HD fell flat on his face.

Actually, the Falcons had four big drives for 3 TDs and a FG, plus a drive inside the 10 for zero. Two drives ended in SF territory on teo turnovers. The 49ers had four TD drives, plus a missed FG drive, plus a drive that ended at the 3 inch line.
Might as well say that SF had FIVE loooooong TD drives on our D. Let me interpret,,,, after the first two possessions, the SF offense owned our Defense the rest if the game.
Just like Seattle did.
That's not the offenses fault.

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.

I remember thinking right after SF closed it to 24-21 that we were going to have to keep scoring. Now that I look back I wouldn't have thought just one score would've been enough.
