8. That is unreal.

This team has really struggled to play as one for years.

Receivers dropped passes, which meant the D was out there too long and conceded.

D stepped up eventually, Receivers started making plays, D then blew the game.

Nothing ruins my day more than when we lose to the Falcons - Nothing.

Hurts a little more. As for me I have tempered my expectations. Something isn't right with this team.

Clown receivers. Starting with the joker that is taking a lot of the Saints money and giving nothing in return.

I think that this is where we pivot from high expectations to becoming a support group.

Is it really a shocker that what was our 3rd string QB just a minute ago doesn't have total sync with our WR's and TE's and vice versa? Is it also shocking that a top 5-ish QB held down for 99% of the 4th quarter can still make a play late? We've had the Falcon's number for a while now. It's a 8.5/8.5 league and today we ended up on the wrong side of it. I'm proud of our guys sticking with it, and having a realistic chance to win after a bad game with nit picking refs. Kudos again to our punter BTW.

Receiver corps really blew this game.

Passing game looked a hell of a lot like it did in Winstons first couple of games with all the drops. I have to believe that part will get corrected. If we had a true number one Wr and a TE our defense, special teams, and running game are all good enough to compete with anyone. It was a division game, **** happens.
