Yea, only because of a fumble by the same guy who had been abusing white in the first half.

lol.

no.

While he's wasn't great, he was better in the 2nd half. Plus, it was clear that the Saints' game plan was to shut down Gonzales and White at all costs (which they did). That being the case, the ball has to go to another WR. That guy happend to be the WR White was matched up with. I mean as much as we hate the Falcons, Ryan is still a decent QB. He's going to make some good throws and complete some passes. As a whole, the D gave up 13 points. So while the yardage total was probably a bit higer than usual, overall I can't complain about the defense

What has to be done??

I actually liked the way he played in the second half. Dude had about as bad of a first half as you can, regrouped, and played much better. D-line living in Matty's backyard helped too.

and another thing... how about all of those times where Ryan got sacked?

He didn't have anyone to throw it to because of good coverage. While the D-line was getting a good rush, there also has to be good coverage in the secondary to make it happen.

That is how it works.

I mean, I've been that guy before who comes on here kind of complaining after a win before... but here's the thing....

there wasn't any reason to think the Saints were going to go up there and beat the brakes off ATL last night. Thursday Night Football blows. It's got to be hard to get up after a hard fought win over a good team like the 49ers and go out and play even better on 3 days rest.

as for White... I thought he was really bad on one series and just.... meh... on others. Were you expecting an All-Pro type of performance?

I don't know man. The Falcons held the ball for almost 34 minutes in the game and had only 13 points to show for it... including getting shutout in the second half.

Not the worst results I've ever heard of.
