Falcons: Worst Case Scenario at End of Week One . . .

[HolyDuckett!]

Falcons tied for 2nd with Saints and Bucs, one game behind . . . the Panthers.

Gentlemen, lets not panic. (There will be plenty of time for that later.)

Wouldn't that be some shit if the entire NFC-S went 0-1 week one....haha we'd at least not be out of contention xD

As Gregg Easterbrook says, Don't panic, there will be plenty of time for that later. The lesson from today is to forget about our "Ferrari offense" and conga lines for Jay Cutler interceptions, and refocus on holding onto the football, wrapping up on tackles, keeping our feet and making blocks.

I had a feeling that the emotion of the day and the totality of the circumstances might effect the mental preparedness of one of the teams. Unfortunately, that was us. Literally, from the first kick off, we were not mentally in the game. Fumbles, stupid penalties, interceptions, horribly missed assignments ......this did NOT look like a Mike Smith coached football team. We'll see what happens next week, but I think , and certainly hope, that this was a rare case of poor mental readiness, not an indicator of inherent structural deficiencies. But we will see.


If we pay attention to the process that has brought three consecutive winning seasons and quit believing our own hype, everything will be fine.

If we are 2-3 after five games, we will makes the playoffs and win a playoff game.

We just weren't ready. Best to have this kind of game week 1 rather than week 1 of the playoffs...oh wait we already did that.

It's all fixable. Remember the D had yet to play and practice as a unit until this week. The offensive line was missing its most important part and his replacement was making his first start.

Good post. sensical. The best posts happen in the evening on a Sunday.

Everyone is even. Consider this a 15-game season.
