Despite making things interesting in the final few minutes, the Falcons once again fell short when it mattered most during Sunday’s 21-16 loss to the Saints.
Following an all-around abysmal performance, fans on Twitter made it known where the blame should land. Here are the best reactions to Atlanta’s Week 13 matchup against New Orleans.
Dirk called 3 straight runs as if all we needed was a FG lmao What a fraud.

#Falcons defense still doing their best out there, but will it matter with Dirk Koetter at the helm?

I almost socked my TV pointing at that fumble

Can't ignore the fact that Todd Gurley's lack of situational awareness has cost the Falcons twice this season. Obviously, there is a lot that went to the losses against Detroit and New Orleans. The mistakes he made in both games are as brutal as it gets. #NOvsATL

The Falcons had 1 second left in the clock… what kinda rule is that where the clock has to show 2+ seconds left on the clock in order for you to put the 1 second left…? That’s the most BS I’ve ever heard lol

Despite not playing their best game on offense or defense, the Falcons were very much still in this game and had a chance to win the game

Even though they were thoroughly outplayed for three quarters, the Falcons should have pulled off the upset. So many missed opportunities on third down and in the red zone. This one will definitely sting across the organization. They should have delivered in the end. #NOvsATL

This is hopefully the game that seals the fate of the entire coaching staff. Don't bring a single one of them back in any capacity moving forward. They've embarrassed this franchise enough.

Matt didn’t even have a good game but he’s not the culprit today.
