You can’t win games when you continually lose possession of the ball, which is what the Falcons did today against the Seahawks. THREE TIMES!
The Seahawks went 2 of 4 in the Red Zone. The Falcons went to the Red Zone four times and got…nothing!
The Falcons have lost more games in their own Mercedes-Benz Stadium (39), then won (33).
The CFB Playoff-bound Georgia Bulldogs won two games in the last two weeks at MBS. The Falcons only won 2 at their home stadium this season.
Today’s loss was the widest margin of defeat at said stadium in history. It was their worst home loss period since their 34-3 faceplant to the Panthers. (info via Mike Conti, 929 The Game)
Conti also adds that season eight of sub .500 seasons is the longest such stretch in franchise history since the 1983-90 Henning/Campbell/Hanifan era.
When Falcons owner Arthur Blank assesses keeping coach Raheem Morris in place after this season, he will have Morris’ 16-25, 3-season record staring back at him. What will he decide?
This is the sixth game this season that the Falcons have lost by a deficit of 10 points or more.
Converting on third down continues to be a hardship for the Dirty Birds. They are 1 of 13(.077) today on 3rd down, their worst performance in a 10-plus attempt game since 1991, playing the Saints. (stat via Tori McElhaney, Falcons Senior Reporter)
