What happened in the game last night?

And this, J, illustrates what I'm talking about with attacking the saints gap rules up front and forcing them to communicate in a loud, hostile environment. It's easy to boil it down to "this/these players arent good" when it's really way more loaded than that. The falcons did a great job at scheming up their pressure in very subtle ways.

Yes, that sorta thing is really simple and really complex, at the same time. It's generally simple when you wind it back and say this is what happened and you should have done this, but very complex before the fact, when it's loud, and a defense is doing things which are unexpected.

I admit, I was feeling really good about Ruiz up to that sack by Jarrett. Hurst got beat on the same play. It's one you hope the QB gets the ball out real quick to save your bacon, but that didn't happen unfortunately.
