	Or is it just another bump in a rough road?

<p>
	Given the track record of the franchise, it's easy to choose the former. If you pick the latter, what's your take on how the team moves forward this season?

	What about the players? A high IQ player would have noticed the ball wasn’t where it was supposed to be.

			Oh, and the refs giving them an extra yard on a bad spot, to make it 4th and 1. Gotta love that.

			I hope this team continues to be competitive. In 8 games so far I thought we only looked bad in two of them yesterday with the Steelers and the Chargers game. In the other six games we played well enough to have won all of them.

	<strong>The Falcons pretty much suck.   If anyone should have a hot seat as hot as Hue, it is the HC of the Falcons.</strong>

	Can’t develop players if they don’t play. Technically, this team hasn’t been eliminated yet.

			after todays game, if i was the owner....id tell the coaches to.start winding down the reps of the major players like garrett. I would even consider devising an excuse to.put baker on IR until the o line is settled. 
		</p>

		<p>
			my rationale would be do we really want to use a high pick on a qb again anytime soon? need to protect this investment

	Possible, first time it looked like the team just quit. Chiefs up next- not looking good.
