There's plenty for the Falcons to correct after Sunday. It wasn't just the defense. The offensive line was having a pretty good day until all those penalties in the fourth quarter. Ryan's Inexplicable Interception counter is up to at least four on the season. With the Falcons trailing 10-0 he threw late and high to tight end Luke Stocker for a pick near the goal line .
But most of the problems were on Quinn's side of the ball. His group didn't look very coordinated in the first half. Quinn twice called timeout twice because players weren't properly aligned. Colts receivers found a lot of room in the secondary.
The Falcons kicked a field goal 2:13 before halftime to trim the lead to 13-3 They were getting the ball first after it. Stop the Colts and score again and the Falcons be within one score of the lead. Instead, the Colts marched 64 yards in 10 plays for another touchdown while converting two third downs on, of course, Falcons penalties.
One of the flags was for too many Falcons on the field. Quinn got caught trying to substitute when the Colts didn't huddle. It was another example of the defensive coordinator letting the head coach down. It also was vice versa. No wonder the Falcons are 1-2.
