3) The play calling is still terrible

Kyle Shanahan has started to get some flack as of late and many were hoping to see a different Falcons’ offense after their 2-week break, but that wasn’t the case. It was the same old bad play calling that put Matt Ryan in awkward positions to fail.

Ryan was picked off at the Falcons’ 1-yard line which resulted in a touchdown for the Colts. Sure, Ryan gets the blame for the horrendous throw, but who made the decision to throw instead of run? My money is on Shanahan to make that call.
