Worst loss ever?

[falconsfreak27]

Even that year we lost to Kansas City 63-3 I haven't been more dissapointed that I am

right now. It was the freakin Carolina Panthers for crying out loud. The whole team lost

this one. Terrible....we're playing NCAA Division 2 football right now. If we don't

get it together now. We'll be singing "Wait...till next.....year!!!"

Get well BURNER!!!

Snelling and Turner should be holding their heads up high. The rest of the team

blew it for them when they gave everything they had to win.

Give Matt Ryan one more start to get it together. If not, bring in Redman. Though I

don't think it will matter. We SUCK right now.

We will bounce back....but how far?

Hopefully we can pull off something on the Giants, but I doubt it.

Right now I'm ready to break out the neck brace and arm sling. Our team is banged up.

WRONG! That loss to Kansas City was the Worst.

[=abrahamburger=]

Anyone remember that loss to Denver in 1999? That was kinda bad.

[falconcj21]

K.C was real bad our kicker lost this for us.

[Jesus]

yea,

especially coming after the greatest win.

[Old fan]

Give Matt Ryan one more start to get it together. If not, bring in Redman.

And how would that help in the development of our franchise QB?

[Peyton]

Not.......even........close.

I remember being all excited about a 5-2 team in 06, only to watch them get beat back to back by the Lions and Browns.

I remember the previous year, when a home loss to a really bad Packers team started a horrible second half tailspin.

Or, if you want to talk really tragic, consider this one.

In 1986, the Falcons were 6-6-1 heading into week 14 with a very realistic chances of making the playoffs at 9-6-1. Thier opponent in Atlanta was the 0-13 Colts. With only seconds left in the game and the Falcons winning 23-21, the Falcons let the Colts block a punt and return it for a TD.

They lost to an 0-13 team at home and ended their playoff chances. Very disappointing.

I'm pretty sure that one was the worst

[falconsfreak27]

Easy...

I haven't jumped off the wagon. Never will. I'm just saying. You win when you should.

I'm tired of getting my hopes up on having a team that makes very little mistakes,

moves the ball at will and keeps the other teams offense on the bench. What happened

to all the points we put up on San Fran? What happened to that defense we saw against New Orleans?

Even then it was terrible against the pass. Fan or not, I know what I see. I see

something missing on both sides of the ball. We have the talent, coaches, staff

to destroy people. Why can't we ever get it together?

That's my question.

I swear it's like we're cursed or something. I'm a realist folks. If Turner

is out. We better hope Norwood gains about 25 pounds of muscle

in the next 6 days or we're screwed.

Yeah the 2005 Green Bay game when we were 6-2 then finished the season 8-8. Also the Chiefs game in 2004 I think that was 56-10? When Holmes and Johnson both went for 4TD's

[falconsfreak27]

Also remember, a bad loss can be a close game. It don't have to be a blowout.

This was a bad loss. New Orleans? Not that bad of a loss. New England? Not that bad

Dallas? BAD!!!

this one?

BAAAAADDDD!!! Considering we lost ANOTHER player. Our stud running back.

You need to get it together my friend. Part of being a fan is believing in your team. We're still 5-4 and while we're making it harder to get to the playoffs, we're still very much in the hunt.

People hit the panic button after a loss like its the end of the world.

[coastiemike]

It's a tie.... Losing the Super Bowl sucked, especially since my wife is a Broncos fan. Watching us lose in the NFC championship to Philadelphia sucked also. Both those were much worse than today's loss.

[Falcon Freddie]

It all comes down to definitions, but I submit the most disgraceful loss (as opposed to "worst") the Falcons ever suffered occurred in the 2005 season, on January 1, 2006 Panthers-Falcons game in the Georgia Dome. In this game, the entire Falcons team visibly gave up on their coach (Mora) and themselves and simply mailed it in. Michael Vick later admitted that he didn't care and didn't try in that game. The same could be said of many of the other Falcons players. The game was nothing less than embarrassing for all concerned.

Overheard leaving the stadium after that game: "I've seen some suck-a__ games in this place [the Georgia Dome], but this one ranks right up there . . . or maybe right down there." In retrospect, that game foretold the mediocre 2006 season, the demise of Mora as the Falcons coach, and perhaps even the disasters of the 2007 season.

By this criteria, yesterday's loss doesn't even come close to the 2005 season game. Yesterday's loss was disappointing, but disappointing was all it was. The Falcons lost because of mistakes, injuries, and players outside of their accustomed positions, but they didn't give up.

[slamee101]

You clearly just became a fan this season then...

[ConnFalcon]

If you ask me, there is no greater disappointment than losing in the superbowl. That hurt for a long time.

[Peyton]

I agree, sort of. If it were just the game, no biggie, the Broncos were a little better. But Eugene Robinson humiliating the franchise and the city of Atlanta just made me sick.

That's true. I was at that Browns game, and I was thinking that to myself the whole game. I was miserable that whole game. Wasn't feeling that good, Browns fans all around me, Falcons fans around me had no life in them at all, etc. Miserable game.

Yeah... that one gets my vote as well.

We had a chance to get back to back winning season and the team just quit.

At least we were in the game yesterday until the last 3 minutes... we were in the 2005 game for a total of 3 minutes... and it was the last game of the season... I felt totally and completely disgusted after that game.

If you looked at this game on your schedule back on Labor day, you would pencil in a loss

[RyanFalconMan]

Here is something I want to know. This game reminded me of a the Falcons of 2006. All running, no passing, no defense, no special teams. Why is our team performing at that level? We have no one except McClure, Finn and maybe two other guys that are on this team now from the 06 season. Is this team ever going to get away from the reputation that they have had before? One of the things that really makes me sad is how Mularkey passes the ball when the run game is going and he runs the ball when the pass game is going. We were running all over the Panthers yesterday and he still decides to pass the ball on first downs. What a joke!

[delaigle]

K.C was real bad our kicker lost this for us.

Thanks for clueing me in I had thought it was the failure to get the 1st down on that 4th down when Ryan did the QB sneak.

bucman, good to see you here, I've been worried about all of our Buccaneer friends after that loss yesterday. That call on that review was the worst call I have ever seen in my life. I am suprised that Morris didn't kill one of those refs.
