They haven't been able to overcome injuries to their key defenders.

Sad!

Nobody loses as well in historical fashion as the Atlanta Falcons.

You're not wrong. Two 'fun' stats:

1) Matt Ryan is the first QB in history to lose back-to-back games with 350+ passing, 3+ TDs, and no picks

2) Teams that score 36+ at home without turning the ball over are 402-4. Two weeks ago, they were 402-2. 

 

The defense is just THAT bad.

And that Super Bowl loss to the Pats.

That's part, and perhaps most of the problem, but plenty of regulars have looked horrid as well. 

That the Neal / Allen / Jones - sized hole in the middle of the D is essentially free points for any team with a quasi-functional passing attack is expected. Poor corner and DL (outside of Takk) play is another, semi-standalone issue. Put together, along with the fact that the O scores quickly and often (or a really, really quick three and out), the Falcons are looking at a historically bad defensive season, statistically.

I'm sure that set all sorts of 'fun' records too, but don't have them in front of me.

Well I,couldn’t get a Panthers win so I watched the Falcons loose.  Almost as satisfying.  

Their board will light up about Eric Reid after this.  LMAO.

Falcons have a gift for finding way to lose.

It was already lit up after the Saints loss. The center of our defense is roughly analogous to a landing strip for a C-5M Super Galaxy.
