Matt Ryan doing everything for the Falcons but still losing.

To say Matt Ryan’s year has gone great for Atlanta would be a lie. Whether his fault or not, it has not been a pretty year for him.

However, if anyone says this loss was Ryan’s fault, they do not understand football one bit. Matt did everything a quarterback can, meaning he should be rewarded with a win, but much like has been the case throughout his career, he is handed with a loss on his record.

There has never been a quarterback who loses so consistently despite putting up incredible numbers. It is anything but his fault, he has never had a defense who could consistently stop anyone.

Not to mention, the questionable decision by Arthur Smith to take the ball out of Ryan’s hands when they need to run the clock out, instead he elected to run the ball twice and throw a screen pass.

Matt Ryan threw for 283 yards, 4 touchdowns, and no interceptions, but somehow the team lost the game. 

Again, this feels like the same team that Dan Quinn led ever since the Super Bowl collapse.
