1) Our loss on Saturday didn't make the list.

2) Several of those teams that got blown out had QBs named Montana and Manning and went on to win championships shortly thereafter.

The team that I often compare Atlanta too, Jimmy Johnson's Cowboys, got blown out 38-6 by the Lions in season 3.

There is no reason to be down on the franchise because of the loss. Although I know everybody in the organization and the fan base wanted the win badly, it can easily become part of the growing process now that the Falcons are past it.
