The defense only gave up 17 points

I know they blew a bunch of third and longs but still... only 17 points.  That's actually better than average.  They made some key stops too including that Norman recovery and some big sacks.

 

Meanwhile, Atlanta who I believe until today was last in sacks, dominated, DOMINATED our offensive line.  They had been great all year and hopefully today was just an anomaly but let's spare the shots against the defense, please.

Matt Ryan had 7 in completions out of 30 attempts. At one point they allowed Ryan to go for 10 straight completions.

Again, this team is built around the defense.

Our offense is at the point that we cannot afford to lose Ted Ginn Jr.

Let me say that again: our offense is at the point that we need Ted Ginn Jr. or we are screwed.

The Falcons ran all over us. The defense missed way too many tackles. Thomas Davis was a train wreck today, love TD but no one is beyond reproach, he missed big big tackles. And J No looked lost in the secondary. I think our guys maybe didn't prepare for this game the way they needed to. They came out looking like they were on vacation. Losing Bene hurt quite a bit too. Our secondary is very leaky right now.

You can't just got by total points given up. It works both ways. For example we pin Atlanta inside the 10 several times and if we get one 3 and out it changes field position and helps the offense. They didn't. They did get a turnover and gave the offense good field position only for the offense to not move it and settle for a FG. It works both ways but too many people only see one side of things.

Falcons were 9-15 on 3rd-down conversions.  "Just 17 points" isn't enough to take Defense out of the conversation.  They were a big reason why we lost today.  

Yup. Plus they murdered Carolina in time of possession by like 10 minutes.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
