Let me say this: the defense gets all the blame for the second half meltdowns, but an offense that can actually keep the chains moving would make our defense looks worlds better. We NEED the best OL we can accumulate. That needs to start with a real RG. Konz will slide over to his natural position of Center and he needs to have a MASTER BLASTER parked to his right. If we had that kind of OL, we would have easily won this game.

Why should the Falcons offense have to score every time get the ball in order to "protect" the defense? I'm old school. I believe that if you score 24 points on offense you should be able to win 80-90% of the time.

How many possessions did the Falcons have in this game? 10 if that many? That's not enough possessions for an offense this good. When you have a defense that gives up a lot of yards that means the other team is on the field a lot which limits the offensive possessions which means if the offense doesn't score on every possession your chances of winning are very slim. I pointed out my concerns in this area months ago because it was that much of a problem.
