Hey Falcoholics! On Sunday, the Atlanta Falcons lost to the Los Angeles Rams, 10-37 in horrendous fashion. If you missed the game, or just want to review the tweets from it, look no further. Falcons fans on Twitter have you covered, and without further ado, let’s begin.
The Falcons received the ball to start the game, and it was all downhill from there.
Falcons will get the ball first. Strap in.

So, what are the chances that the Falcons actually play a good game today?

After a nine play drive, the Falcons settle for a field goal. Matt Bryant stepped in to connect on a 52-yarder which gave the Falcons an early 3-0 lead.

Matt Bryant over everyone kicker

The Rams would get the ball next and Greg Zeurlein would miss a 40-yarder before making a 55-yard field goal on their next possession, putting the game at 3-3.
Greg the Leg good from 55. #Falcons 3, #Rams 3 with 1:42 left in the first quarter.

Falcons running back Ito Smith was injured while attempting a block, and left the game on a cart.
Ito Smith got leveled in pass pro.

The Rams offense was rolling, and with the assistance of questionable calls by the referees, the Rams were able to score on a Todd Gurley touchdown reception, putting their lead at 10-3.
Can Dan Quinn not see that blitzing does against his offense and not think about, maybe, just maybe, giving that a shot?

This is “roughing the passer.” Absolutely .

Regardless of what the announcers were saying, nobody was stopping Julio Jones — who finished with 93 receiving yards on the day, and should’ve had more if it wasn’t for some ugly throws.
Ramsey just got toasted

Greg Zeurlein made another field goal for the Rams, extending their lead to 3-13 heading into halftime. Following halftime, the Rams woke up and scored on their first drive via a Gerald Everett 8-yard touchdown reception.

But, there was some optimism.
John Cominsky making some nice plays here at the end.
— Aaron Freeman (@falcfans) October 20, 2019
And then following a Jared Goff touchdown run, and another field goal, the negativity was back as the Rams held a 3-30 lead. Oh, and did I mention Matt Ryan left the game with an ankle injury?

Matt Schaub promptly slings the Falcons down the field and into the end zone for the first time this afternoon
— Adnan Ikic (@SayWhichWay) October 20, 2019
I'm going to ignore the circumstances and say SCHAUB IS THE KEY
— The Badfootballoholic (@TheFalcoholic) October 20, 2019
Schaub just led a touchdown drive with the greatest of ease. He's the future, after all
— Kendall “Idris Elba” Jackson (@projectjax) October 20, 2019
A Matt Schaub to Austin Hooper connection gave the Falcons their first, and only touchdown on the day. narrowing the Rams lead to 10-30.
Lmao Ryan Haters so happy rn.

And that’s the game, folks. The Falcons are now 1-6 and haven’t even played a divisional opponent yet. The team will have a home game next week against the Seattle Seahawks before entering their much needed bye week. Regardless of what happens, thanks for riding with us Falcoholics and checking out all of our content.
