Welcome back on a misery Monday on the fan presented by Cheniga-Maios, a 2025 top workplace.

Taking calls now at 1-800-6-36-106-7.

Your takeaways from the commander's loss in Atlanta to the Falcons where they give up 435 yards of offense and, of course, 34 points in the loss.

Defense.

Just kind of gross that the Falcons manage exactly zero points the week before,

and then they explode for 34 against the commanders,

allegedly improved defense.

Defense allows Atlanta to convert six of 12 third downs,

including three straight third down conversions on that drive

after they closed it to within a score after the touchdown pass

to Debo Samuel and the two-point conversion to Zach Ertz,

closed it to a seven-point game.

Atlanta then, you know, defense has them on their heels kind of in a way and has them in third-down

situations thinking, hey, you can get the ball back and maybe steal the game. Like I was thinking,

hey, if you get the stop, you just go down and you score and then you go for two. I was already locked into going for two that just could not get a stop. The problem is thinking you get a stop. Like, you know, just, there was no reason to really watch that game and think we were going to get a stop. Right. Especially because they're tired toward the end of the game. When they're fresh, they can't get a stop. They're going to get one in the fourth quarter when they need it?

It was very...

They were gas.

Very reminiscent of, like, games over the last decade plus.

Right.

And you were mentioning it during the break cakes.

Their running back room is such a committee.

And occasionally, you know, they're going to have that big run like they did with McNichols last
