What we saw last night is a team with more talent than sense.

The Falcons can't get out if their own way.... They spent the game trying to get points they should have already had.... Smith had no sound reason to go for it instead of taking the FG that early in the game.... And when your best WR is locked down by Talib all night you throw some where else, especially when you have talent somewhere else. There was no reason for that INT.

They play like a team that cares more about fulfilling hype and trying to earn respect than winning a game. It's not always good to play with a chip on your shoulder, it clouds judgement.

They are as dangerous as a weapon in the hands of the untrained. Sure the gun is dangerous, sure it will go off, low chance of actually hitting the target consistently.

Good insight into why Can'tlanta will never be great, Oak. I stopped watching at the half, but only because at that point I had seen enough to realize the Failcons were gonna' fulfill their destiny by losing yet another game miserably, :lol:. Having to settle for a field goal on their first trip into the redzone (and subsequent trips), the #5 defense-against-the-run not being able to stop NE's ground game and Brady being able to make anyone, even the homeless guy down the street, look good at receiver was enough for me.

Can'tlanta doesn't lose because they don't have talent, they lose because they don't have heart. Bet. :neutral:

I've used this phrase before and perhaps Atlanta is a good example. "In order to be successful, you have to know how to be successful".

It's such a simple statement but it doesn't resonate with many. Humans are their own worst enemy.
