Atlanta Falcons vs. New York Jets halftime update and open thread

Hello darkness my old friend.

We typically enter preseason cautiously optimistic to see the Atlanta Falcons dominating their opponent. That usually doesn’t happen, and instead we see defensive breakdowns and an anemic offense. We have been reminding you all week that preseason doesn’t matter. We see this every preseason, then the Falcons turn it on during the season.

The Falcons started without two of their biggest offensive weapons: Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman.

How did we get to 17-0 against the Jets?

Matt Ryan played one series, and his only pass went to the line of scrimmage.
