I'm trying to think of something positive to say about this game, and I'm drawing a blank. Offense, defense, special teams--nothing really went the Falcons' way on this night.
Offensively, we moved the ball a little bit, but not enough to keep up with the Bobcats. Willie Geter looked good running the ball, and I think he's going to be a lot of fun to watch over the next few years. Beyond that, though...WR Corey Partridge was injured early on in the game, and it was a long night for the passing game over that. Dropped balls, poor passes, etc. QB Tyler Sheehan was often holding the ball way too long, and that led to an interception return for a TD when he got hit as he threw.
Defensively, I don't feel like the Falcons played too terribly, although, again, they certainly didn't do the job they needed to do. The problems they had were the same problems they've had for years--poor tackling, poor pass coverage.
Let me just stop myself there. The details don't matter. They lost, and it seemed like they beat themselves as much as they got beat by Ohio. That's the long and short of it, and it's a crappy way to lose.
On the bright side, I managed to coax my buddy Mike out to the game, which was cool. I hadn't seen him for probably about six months, so we got to hang out for a few hours and solve the world's problems (or at least the BG offense's), and that made the trip worthwhile even if the game didn't.
