The purpose of preseason games, as you well know, is not to win. Winning feels nice for about five minutes, but if you haven’t gotten a good look at your team and started to evaluate your 90 man roster as a result of that, then a preseason game has done you absolutely zero good.
That’s the cheeriest note I can sound after the Falcons “treated” us to four quarters of objectionable football in a game where Julio Jones and Devonta Freeman sat, Matt Ryan threw one pass, and the starters got off the field like it was emitting visible radiation.
