Four Down Territory: So About Preseason…
Second Down
Atlanta..my goodness.
They now hold two out of the biggest three choke jobs in NFL history and neither one are number three.
Nothing will ever top the 28-3 Super Bowl loss but Sundays performance was so embarassing that it’s impressive. Seriously, look at this graph.
Let’s put it like this; if this were the stock market there would be A LOT OF BROKE PEOPLE RIGHT NOW.
The metaphorical cherry on top came in the fourth quarter. Dallas is within two and need an onside kick recovery to have a chance at winning.

It’s amazing the Dan Quinn was able to ride the team plane home.
You gotta feel for Matt Ryan a little on this one. He completed 66.7% of his passes for 273 yards and four touchdowns (something this fantasy owner appreciates).
The numbers are great but when things get tight this team just finds a way to crumble in historical fashion.
Falcons fans, why keep doing this to yourself? There are 31 other teams to pick from.
Do you enjoy pain?
C’mon. At some point you have to love yourself enough to say no to dissapointment on this scale.
In the grand scheme of things the Falcons were projected to place third in their division and miss the playoffs. They still have to play the Saints and Buccaneers twice, the Chiefs, Packers, and Chargers. Would winning the game really make a difference for their season? Probably not.
But losing it in this fashion sure as hell will.
