What we learned from our loss on Thursday night

What we didn't learn

Force them to stop the run

Clock management
1st down on 12 yard line 1:43
Run run run

Payton won't learn from this

No reason to say we don't have any wr when Thomas balled out with a TD. Ginn sacrifice his body for a catch, Lewis with a extra ballerina effort score a TD and Coleman with a clutch catch for 1st down. When the ball was delivered the wr aught the ball. Brees wasn't himself, not to say it's time to sit him, but he wasn't stepping up in the pocket and taking to much time diagnosing coverage or reacting to the coverages. With that being said I still feel comfortable with him as the starter. I just believe those interviews that mention the team don't have to rely him anymore effect him and the coaches

I was at the game. From my perspective we played a solid game with exception of a few missed plays. Then the Brees INT which IMO was a bad throw.

Am I worried? No. We beat the Jets, Falcons and Bucs to end the season.

Not having out star RB can cost you the game.

Two things I knew was reinforced - fans of the atl are among the worst in football and not everyone is ready to embrace the NFL after slighting the anthem...

What I learned?! Someone paid the referees off...

Illegal helmet to helmet hit on Kamara which resulted in a concussion

OPI on Sanu's touchdown wasn't called

A sneeze on Ryan that resulted in a roughing the passer

Numerous holding penalties on the Falcons which were turned a blind eye to

I may have missed a rule but I think it's still fair game (like PT in San Fran) to hit helmet to helmet on a RB as long as it isn't egregious. I enjoyed seeing us be able to play without Kamara. We showed we can play without doing what we did with JG. The roughing the passer was a joke, but home cooking is to be expected. We got a huge call in our favor last week against Carolina. You have to beat the opponent and the refs. The Patriots do this well.

He didn’t spear him. You can hit a guy and make helmet to helmet contact.
