Aaron shares his takeaways from the Atlanta Falcons' 21-15 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, discussing the blown roughing the passer call on Grady Jarrett's would-be sack late in the game that cost the team a chance to pull off the comeback. He also discusses the causes of how the team fell into a 21-0 hole, but why quarterback Marcus Mariota isn't one of the bigger ones. He breaks down the poor pass protection and frequent penalties that hurt the Falcons more than their quarterback play early in the game, and why starting Desmond Ridder isn't solving all those problems. Finally, he breaks down why he has positive vibes from this loss due to the Falcons' competitiveness and the fact that they were able to survive without key playmakers and finish strong despite a poor start to the game.
