Well, that sucked. The Falcons dropped a 23-17 stinker to the Bills that was a weird amalgam of awful play, key injuries, and truly horrid officiating. It was just as ugly to re-watch as it was to watch it live, but I did it for you guys. There were, however, some quality plays mixed in with all the bad stuff. I endeavored to look through all of it to give you some observations from the game.
Check out my in-depth thoughts below.
Officiating played a role, but the Falcons ultimately beat themselves
You should never blame an entire loss on bad officiating—it’s a slippery slope, and can lead to a lot of bad emotions and ultimately unhelpful analysis.
