After the Atlanta Falcons blew a 20-point lead to lose to the Dallas Cowboys, Twitter took their best shots
Something about Atlanta sports leads to the best social media moments. Of course, 28-3 will live on in the minds of NFL fans forever, but as far as regular season football goes, it’s hard to remember a more iconic Falcons moment than Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
The Falcons had this game in hand, so much so that most of us (me) turned it off entirely. As much as I love watching the Cowboys lose, what’s the point? Oh, how wrong I was.
In a state of shock and delirium, social media always does some of its best work.
Twitter skewered the Falcons for blowing a 20-point lead to the Cowboys
Of all teams, why did it have to be the Cowboys?
The pain never goes away, and it’s always in favor of the worst of NFL fanbases.
The Atlanta Falcons should not be allowed to tweet.
Falcons gonna Falcon. I’ve written this or a similar article several times, and Atlanta never learns. How they have fans remaining boggles my mind, but we respect that southern perseverance.
Where do the Falcons go from here?
The only response is to keep chugging forward, which is exactly what the Detroit Lions tried to do this week after D’Andre Swift dropped a potential game-winning touchdown pass against the Chicago Bears in Week 1. How’d that go?
Not great! I wish the Falcons more luck in their attempt to jump back on the right side of NFL history.
