IDK how people can blame Ryan for this loss

Our defense lost the game, not Matt Ryan. Sure, he threw two critical interceptions before half, but, who cares? We wouldn't have won even if he didn't. You aren't going to win a game against the Packers defense when their offense doesn't have to punt the ball away at all!

Exactly. I don't like the picks, and no one is saying Ryan played well. But when the game is "hey, we aren't going to stop them so you'd better make something happen," well that's not very fair to the offense.

It's not like we were 3 and out all night. They never punted. Not once. If you can't get one key stop, you shouldn't be in the game. Ryan made 2 key mistakes with the game tied and time winding down in the half. But the defense got horribly exposed last night. All night long, without fail.
