I think the Falcons loss to the Vikings was worse than our loss to Clemson.
The offensive line looked like they did in pre-season against the Jets. There were mistakes where rushers went unblocked because of mental errors; I understand them more in college than in the NFL.
I understand why this game wasn’t 42-0 in favor of the Vikings, but let’s just say I’m really surprised the Vikings didn’t continue the second half the way they played the first. They could have. The Falcons run defense looked much better when the Vikings ran inside, vs outside where they made hay throughout the game. The 6 points the Falcons got was the definition of “garbage time points”.
Pass defense had decent stats because we couldn’t stop the run.
Lindstrom got hurt, and he wasn’t playing all that well before he got hurt. Matthews was getting owned.
The OC we wanted was on the other sideline today. I think he’s miles better than Koetter.
This team reportedly has one of the hardest schedules in the NFL. That doesn’t bode well. Some of our easier games are in the earlier part of the season, so we have time to get better.
Let me echo that “Yeeesh” from earlier.
