The Falcons lost again, yet remain in first place in the division (with tiebreakers) thanks to the Saints' third consecutive home loss to the Ravens on Monday. Football is weird.
Analysts and commentators didn't have a lot of faith in Atlanta heading into Sunday's game against the Browns.

Early on, the line held up well and Roddy White had some really impressive moments.
Matt Ryan just had about 10 seconds to throw. Is that legal?
— Alex Welch (@alexmwelch) November 23, 2014
LOOK AT WASHED UP RODDY WHITE.
— Matt (@TheBravesAddict) November 23, 2014
Even the cameraman had no clue where that was going. #CLEvsATL
— Evan Birchfield (@EvanBirchfield) November 23, 2014
Great protection, as O-line picks up corner blitz and Ryan step up in pocket & hits White to convert 3rd & long. #CLEvsATL
— Daniel Levak (@FalconsDLevak) November 23, 2014
Since entering the NFL in 2005, WR Roddy White has more 1st down catches on 3rd down than any other player #RiseUp #CLEvsATL
— Matt Haley (@FalconsMHaley) November 23, 2014
Still, the offense had some significant struggles.
We concentrate on third down, but the #Falcons have a lot of problems getting anywhere on second half the time.
— The Falcoholic (@TheFalcoholic) November 23, 2014
@TheFalcoholic first down poses its own set of problems

Matt Ryan is living dangerously right now.
— Knox Bardeen (@knoxbardeen) November 23, 2014
That was a tremendously dumb play.
— The Falcoholic (@TheFalcoholic) November 23, 2014
Matt Ryan throws into double coverage, Falcons drive ends. Josh Gordon..err the Browns take over at the 15.
— Alex Welch (@alexmwelch) November 23, 2014
At least we know the #Falcons will likely remain top 3 in the NFL in DROPS after this game.
— The DW (@TheWalkerman) November 23, 2014
So the Falcons looked to their defense to keep them in the game early. What could go wrong?
It’s 3rd and 8, and our hopes hang on Kroy… …/passes out
— The DW (@TheWalkerman) November 23, 2014
But the Falcons actually got a stop, thanks to solid coverage by Desmond Trufant and a slightly overthrown ball from Brian Hoyer for good measure.
Tiny bit overthrown and Trufant was Josh Gordon's cape. #Browns will punt.
— The Falcoholic (@TheFalcoholic) November 23, 2014
During the series, Josh Gordon also: * Solved world-hunger * Found a cure for cancer * FAILED TO GET A COMPLETION. #Falcons
— The DW (@TheWalkerman) November 23, 2014
The offense still looked pretty anemic. It was looking like the Falcons might be in for a long day.
Alright I'm convinced Matt Ryan is trying to throw an interception now. Whitner should've had a pick 6.
— Alex Welch (@alexmwelch) November 23, 2014
Matt Ryan completes the pass to Matt Bryant
— The DW (@TheWalkerman) November 23, 2014
Matt Ryan used his deceptive athleticism to make a couple of plays.

And the Falcons capped the drive off with a Matt Ryan touchdown pass to Julio Jones.

#Falcons bit so hard on that Browns play-action that their tongues are now bleeding.

Kroy acting like he got some sense today.

And a crucial fourth down stop was nullified by a holding call against Kemal Ishmael. Sigh.

— The DW (@TheWalkerman) November 23, 2014
Good things just don't happen to the Falcons.

No kind of tackling on that drive and McClain has me calling him every profane word with how far he's lining up off the Browns receivers
— Nathan Butler Jr. (@ATLSportsNate) November 23, 2014
Then the offense was, again, not fun.

Matt Ryan got sacked within two seconds of the snap? NOOOOOOOOO.

Ryan is has made some awful decisions so far. He is forcing balls and right there can’t take that chance.
— Matt Chernoff (@RealMattlanta) November 23, 2014
You don’t say, Krissy. RT @krissybri: He’s gonna get picked, if he continues to throw into double coverage like that.
— Krissy Brierre (@krissybri) November 23, 2014
Well, Matt's been working on that since the game started. Now that we have that out of the way, Can we stop the BS & win this game? #RiseUp

— Lindsay Crosby (@L_Crosby) November 23, 2014
Yet the defense kept bailing them out.
Back-to-back #Falcons turnovers only yields 6 #Browns points. Still a 1 possession game at 13-7 2nd q
— Zach Klein (@ZachKleinWSB) November 23, 2014

#Browns giving #Falcons taste of their own medicine by trying to out field goal them to death
— Jon M Chuckery (@jmch316) November 23, 2014
Still the offense struggled.
Matt Ryan is not on his game today. Both deep passes to Julio have been well off target, and he was locking on to WR's earlier.
— Knox Bardeen (@knoxbardeen) November 23, 2014
We live and die on the arm of #2... We need him to be better.
— Ronald T. Shields II (@MrShields2) November 23, 2014
Did Harry Douglas not go where he was supposed, or was Ryan off target?
— Knox Bardeen (@knoxbardeen) November 23, 2014
I don’t know THIS Matt Ryan. I’m so dumbfounded by some of the decisions he’s made today.
— Krissy Brierre (@krissybri) November 23, 2014
He's just getting ready to throw his usual 5 interceptions vs Arizona "@grazybizzle: Does Matt realise the Cardinals game is next week?"
— Ronald T. Shields II (@MrShields2) November 23, 2014
#Falcons RB Matt Ryan is 7 of 16 for 113 yards, 1 TD, 1 Int and 1 fumble.
— D. Orlando Ledbetter (@DOrlandoAJC) November 23, 2014
Of course, the Browns' offense wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders, either.
Brian Hoyer literally just gave the ball right to Kemal Ishmael.
— Alex Welch (@alexmwelch) November 23, 2014
Put in Johnny, for my personal entertainment
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) November 23, 2014
Huge int from Kamel Ishmael.. #Browns were pounding the rock and starting to control the game
— Zach Klein (@ZachKleinWSB) November 23, 2014
We asked Kemal Ishmael if we can expect another pick this week, he said "I hope so". Well done, Kemal. Well done.
— Reid Ferrin (@FalconsRFerrin) November 23, 2014
Nice of Ishmael to make up for that terrible penalty on 4th down. Terrible pass by Hoyer.
— Matt (@FalconsM5) November 23, 2014
I was just about to say how many times are the Browns going to run the same bootleg play? About time they made him pay. Let's go! #ATLvsCLE
— Allen Strk (@Allen_Strk) November 23, 2014
With that interception we have a football game! A terrible, terrible football game.
— Matt (@FalconsM5) November 23, 2014
For what it's worth, players, coaches, refs and commentators all seemed to be struggling on Sunday.
Seems after every penalty Coach pulls out that red pen. I would not want to have my name written with that pen. #ATLvsCLE
— war - low (@rarehighfives) November 23, 2014
Good to see the refs are not seeing the facemask on Freeman there. I’d hate for them to call penalties on the other team too.
— The DW (@TheWalkerman) November 23, 2014
These commentators are TRASH. They just called us St. Louis. Damn.
— Krissy Brierre (@krissybri) November 23, 2014
Then the Falcons scored on a shovel pass to Jason Snelling Jacquizz Rodgers.
THE VINTAGE SHOVEL PASS WORKS IN 2014
— Nathan Butler Jr. (@ATLSportsNate) November 23, 2014
How did that work?
— Matt (@FalconsM5) November 23, 2014
Hey #Falcons fans. Let’s all give thanks to Brian Hoyer for that TD!! Throw some more INTs for us, bruh!
— Krissy Brierre (@krissybri) November 23, 2014
Corey Peters is a brave man.
Pretty sure if I had tried double-poking #Falcons coach Cox in the chest like Peters did things would have ended much differently...
— war - low (@rarehighfives) November 23, 2014
And just before the half, the Browns started driving down the field.
This team doesn't allow you to properly cultivate a mood, good or bad.
— The Falcoholic (@TheFalcoholic) November 23, 2014

Smitty: if I hadn’t called the time-out, the Browns would have. THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO COACH. #Falcons

I think Mike Smith is either a Saints Fan or has Dementia. He called a time out to stop CLE from doing it first?

We try so hard to prove how smart we are as a team sometimes I think we prove just how much we over think things. #Falcons

Our Awesome kicker who can kick from the COT DAM parking lot tried to save us....and he did but it was short lived. Time management sucks

Mike Smith can’t fire himself. Your anger should be focused on the owner for allowing it to go on. If you’re really mad don’t show up Sunday

At least the Saints lost. Ladies and gentlemen, your first place Atlanta Falcons!
The Saints just didn't get the outcome that they wanted.
