"Everything we thought the Falcons would be good at this year and everything they have actually been good at this year was absent Sunday, the latest in a growing series of deeply disappointing 2025 performances. Atlanta has now lost in brutal, demoralizing fashion twice against two teams that are among the bottom third of the league in the Panthers and Dolphins, with complete team failure defining both losses."
"A season that started with a vision of what the Falcons could be has quickly become another deflating campaign that has revealed what the Falcons are, which is a flawed team that can't seem to survive injuries or adversity. It's early in the season to say the Falcons are cooked, but they certainly look cooked. Their favor with the fanbase is burnt to a crisp, at the very least."
"The quality of the opponent is what makes this truly unforgivable. The same team that handled the Bills and Commanders got the 1-6 Dolphins at home and were outworked, outplayed, and outcoached in every facet of the game. They lost by 24 points, and after two colliding Falcons defenders turned a would-be interception into an incompletion that enabled an easy field goal to extend Miami's lead, it never felt particularly close."
Expectations for the Falcons' strengths evaporated as the team produced another deeply disappointing performance, losing in demoralizing fashion to two bottom-third teams, the Panthers and Dolphins. Injuries and inability to handle adversity have exposed a flawed roster that struggles across phases. The Falcons lost at home to Miami by 24 points after a pivotal dropped interception turned into an easy field goal. Tua Tagovailoa threw four touchdowns, the defense struggled against the run, the offense relied on short, ineffective plays, and penalties and special-teams errors compounded the collapse. Front office and coaching decisions face scrutiny amid growing fan frustration.
