Painful lessons learned from Falcons vs. 49ers in Week 9

Our writers laughed, cried, and...they didn't actually laugh that much. We just learned some tough lessons.

I have nothing nice to say.

And, therefore, will not say anything at all.

This team may not make the playoffs
Starting 5-0, and even 6-2, it's easy to believe that the Falcons may make the playoffs. But after the game against the 49ers, I'm no longer convinced that the playoffs are a given. This team faces a far more difficult second half including bouts against a better-looking Colts team and a 6-2 Vikings team.
