at first glance, the score from yesterday’s game will be a bit misleading. the falcons won 22-16. we got every opportunity and break to finish the day with a win and couldn’t. once again, the offense could not get it done in the 2nd half. part of the problem is our defense was just on the field way too long. we only had the ball for one drive in the 3rd quarter (3 and out). we got a questionable call go our way (one time!) on a reception fumbled and returned for a TD. that was our only TD of the 2nd half. Kaeding missed another field goal and we gave up another safety. those 5 points weren’t the difference in the game but, it takes away from a team’s momentum.
LT just doesn’t look 100%. he hasn’t the entire season. letting Michael Turner go was a huge mistake. LT might only have a couple years left in him. Sproles and Hester are fun to watch but, they’re not gonna carry a team on their back.
the defense made another big goal line stand that kept the Bolts in the game but when you’re only getting 4 opportunities on offense to get it done in the 2nd half, you have to make the most of those chances. we got the ball with 2:46 left in the game down by less than a TD and went 3 and out.
there are so many things/people i could sit here and criticize about but, the team as a whole is just not playing well. we look like a 4-8 team that doesn’t belong in the playoffs.
blame injuries, blame Norv, blame AJ Smith, blame the player’s ineffectiveness. the cheerleaders are about the only thing to look forward to in the remaining two home games. it takes a lot of tits and $8.50 beers to forget about the missed opportunities and underachieving 2008 San Diego Chargers.
