No. I stopped watching by halftime for the first time since the Patriots game in 08. I actually think this loss was uglier than that game.

If you're watching for DA, there really wasn't that much to tell. The offense didn't seem to be on the field that much.

If you want to see how we don't know how to tackle anyone and see Daryl Washington run next to Snelling without tackling him a few times, then enjoy the show.

The long and short of it for me was that the Atlanta Falcons are the team that I expected the Cards to be at the beginning of the offseason. They're fast on defense to the ball, they make plays in the running game, and they take advantage of teams who over commit in run support.

I don't know why it seems like whenever other teams blitz our OL there's instant pressure, and when we blitz opposing teams, QBs either seem comfortable avoiding the rush or the rush just doesn't materialize.

So true. You're always right on the mark. I'm gonna start calling you Bullseye.

It was so bad, the falcons didn't want to score on us anymore.

Don't know if that's true. Didn't they go for it on fourth in the last period instead of punting? And people were calling for a cheapshot on Ryan cuz it seemed like they were trying to run it up?

They didn't want to run the score up too much so we don't try to put a Beakdown on them when we meet in the playoffs again...:D

Yes, they knelt out 4 downs in the redzone, giving us the ball back with 30 seconds left. They KNELT OUT 4 STRAIGHT DOWNS IN THE REDZONE and gave us the ball back. That is like your big brother kicking your ass, then buying you an ice cream because he feels guilty and doesn't want you to tell mom.

Lol I guess I missed that part. But you conveyed a great visual. Feel like I watched it first hand now. Thank you.

Honestly, just fire up the Hightower highlight and leave it at that. I'd rather shove shards of glass in my eyes than watch that again.
