At this point, if you are a #Hawks fan (or an Atlanta sports fan in general) all you can do is laugh about tonight and hope this is just a one-off that doesn't foretell the whole season.

From Marc Raimondi, ESPN:" Morris says McCloud's release and Hilliard's firing have nothing to do with one another. "Wish both guys the best, love both guys as far as being a human being and character." #Falcons"

Morris: Good teams find ways to win. Says #Falcons must improve in the red-zone. Must fix penalties, negative yardage issues.

More on Penix Jr's injury: "I still feel really good about him. It’s going to be based on movement. The organization will not put him in harm’s way." Adds Cousins availability gives "level of comfort." #Falcons
