and it cost them thru whole game- celebration penalty, illegal hit, and general stupidity throughout. Truly shows Smith and Ryan's lack of leadership skills

I agree -- something tells me the refs probably saw that midfield huddle crap at the beginning of the game and said to each other we gotta take charge of this thing and clamp them down. The celebration penalty in particular, smells to me like the refs were trying to shut those kind of antics down. The Falcons did this same kind of douchery with the Lions last year and looked like idiots.
