Twitter voices condolences to former Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan
Say what you want about him being a “choke artist” but if you have actually watched Matt Ryan throughout his career with the Atlanta Falcons and now the Indianapolis Colts then you should know that he should actually be called the unluckiest player in NFL history.
You know about the Super Bowl, but if you didn’t get to watch the first of three NFL games today, then you might have missed—but likely heard about—the Colts and how they lost despite having a 33-0 lead at halftime. Following the gut-wrenching loss, some people actually have the brains to realize that Matt Ryan is not at fault.
Twitter actually has some intelligence as they support former Falcons QB Matt Ryan
There will certainly be a lot of backlash to this article, but take notice of how the fans are the ones calling Matt Ryan a “choke artist” while the analysts and former-NFL players are the ones that realize most of the blame should be on the team.
After all, this isn’t tennis, boxing, cycling, or swimming where it is you vs. an opponent. This is a TEAM sport that requires 11 guys on each side of the ball to play in unison. Quarterbacks can only do as much as their teammates allow them, the same with every other position.

Anyways, let’s get to the tweets of people voicing their support and condolences for the most unlucky player in NFL history.
Here we are starting off feisty with the former Pro Bowl pass rusher voicing what he thinks of those who hate Matt Ryan.
There’s the key, Matt Ryan has never had a defense that can stop anyone for a complete game. Too bad he’s always on the team with the collapsing defense.
Yes.
He did just happen to be on the losing team. Think about it, Matt really did have one of the greatest postseason performances in NFL history during that Super Bowl but still lost, somehow. Then today, he did absolutely nothing to lose that game but still lost. He hasn’t been good this year, but this game was 100% not his fault. He didn’t allow 39 points in the second half. 28 points should win you a game, and 36 points should certainly win you a game!
If there is one thing I know for sure it is that Tom Brady, Joe Montana, John Elway, and other great quarterbacks have never had a defense that is capable of giving up as many points as Matt Ryan’s have. Am I saying that Ryan is Tom Brady or Joe Montana? Absolutely not, but to act like these losses were Matt Ryan’s fault is complete ignorance.
