Last week: 24 (-1)

Record: 0-1

It’s a bad sign when your only chance to make the playoff is to follow a strong defense, good running game, don’t make mistakes formula and you allow 40 at home in the opener. I know they were missing their top two defensive players and the Falcons’ offense is awesome, but it’s not a good sign. I don’t feel any different about this team than I did before the game. They’re nothing special and they need a new quarterback. Next up, an easier test in Buffalo.
