The Falcons Blew a 16-Point Lead with 11:12 Left in the 4th Quarter

Lifelong friends and self-professed New Orleans Saints nerds Jacob Krasnow, Sean Haspel and Allison Pratt ~tchoup~ it up, exploring the joys and sorrows that come with the fandom of their favorite football team. This week, the gang does a jig on the corpse of the Falcons (and Atlanta in general) after the team blew a 16-point lead against the Saints in the fourth quarter; celebrates the return of Michael Thomas: horror movie monster; and Jacob wonders aloud whether NFL refs are actual humans or if they’re born out of the mud like the Orcs in Lord of the Rings.   Time codes:   1:20 – The Saints pulled off an epic win but should we be worried about the sloppiness? 15:17 – NFL refs continue to lower the bar for success (or failure?) 16:43 – Is there cause for concern regarding offensive and defensive lines, and the defense in general? 22:11 – The Bucs looked old and vulnerable against the Cowboys 29:15 – Week Two predictions…will the Saints win by 90??   You can follow Sean, Jacob and Allison on Twitter at @SeanHaspel, @JacobKrasnow and @AlliWhitlock; and on Instagram at @SeanMHaspel, @Kraznogram and @AlliWPratt   Logo designed by T.J.
