Loss to Atlanta (My Take)

You are right on point about the running game - I have no idea why Carmichael abandoned it when Pierre was tearing it up. All I can attribute that to is this: Panic. A cooler, more confident coach wouldve kept pounding the rock to open up the pass. Falcons knew we were gonna pass, pass, pass - so they oinned their ears back and went after Drew.
One more thing - Strief sucked last nite. I wouldve rather had Garret Hartley playing RT.

At the rate the tackles are getting injured, we just might see Hartley at RT.

I agree, we need to start a more athletic right tackle and put Strief back into his "reporting as eligible, part-time road grader" role. Strief is just too darn big to stay in front of athletic pass rushers like Abraham.
