What is the story about?

The Atlanta Falcons lost 35-13 to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday to fall to 3-7 on the season. It was the kind of ugly performance that coaches and assistants get fired over. And while the Chiefs are obviously a great team, they were without both running back Kenneth Walker and tight end Travis Kelce for most of the game.

Offensively, the Falcons' execution was as bad as we've seen it, even with a few big plays to make the numbers look better. The play-calling was stale and overly reliant on screens, while the offensive line was out of sync all game.

Patrick Mahomes threw five touchdown passes against a Jessie Bates-less Falcons secondary, but the defense played much better than the final stats show. Michael Penix Jr. was mostly average, but he had

very little time in the pocket for most of the game.

After the game, fans took aim at Falcons offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, right tackle Jawaan Taylor and many more. Here's how the NFL world reacted to Atlanta's 35-13 loss to the Chiefs.

Just heard #Falcons fans yell at the players going to the locker room “get your sh** together.”

Stefanski has to take play calling away from Rees. First half was terrible

Here’s a positive for the Falcons: blitz and stunt pickups have been very clean today with Corey Levin at C.

Watching the falcons offense thinking I just don’t know if they’re good enough to find a way back into the game is wild when the chiefs only have 14 points

Penix is not doing his part, but Rees play sequencing and selection has been a drain on this offense all season long. He's done nothing to elevate his talent.

I’m starting to majorly question this staff and I’m not kidding. Incompetence reeks here. No Billy last week. Now, he’s back. But you healthy scratch AV. If you think Billy’s better. Why was he out last week? https://t.co/0W2pxyd1pq

2nd round pick being a healthy scratch at any point in the season is really bad no matter how you cut it https://t.co/vblGRspUd7

Rees and Penix are a match made in hell

Front office and coaching staff are tanking and punting to 2027. Change my mind….

Players are playing uninspired. No fight. No identity. Penalties continue to be an issue. This team lacks discipline. Bijan Robinson, only had SEVEN CARRIES at halftime and he continues to be…
