The Falcons once again showed their inability to close out games on Sunday, blowing a 17-0 lead at halftime to the Buccaneers and losing 31-27.
Let’s see what Twitter had to say following Atlanta’s painfully familiar loss.
It probably didn't effect the outcome, and this should not overshadow what the Falcons did to themselves today. BUT…
The personal foul on Hall that basically gave TB an extra 21 yards on a re-kick was absurd.
That final first down spot and measurement was also absurd.

Three of the 14 largest blown leads in Falcons franchise history have happened this season.
Six of them have occurred in the last five seasons.
