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.

Raptors have scored 132 points with 5 minutes left, the most they've scored in a season opener in franchise history.

There's still 5 minutes left!!
Opening (regular season) night going a little rough for the #Hawks so far.
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"
Posted by Terrin Waack, #Falcons: "Falcons head coach Raheem Morris on the Dolphins: "You're not looking at a team that hasn't played everybody extremely tough." "
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
#Falcons injury updates from Morris:
Penix Jr: "Day-to-day"
Storm Norton: opening up 21 day window to return.
Deablo: "very possible" he could go on IR
Anderson/Trice: no updates.
Coach Morris on releasing Ray-Ray McCloud: Have to do what's best for the team every single week. Decision was "performance based." Every move makes team better. Wish him nothing but the best. #Falcons

🚨#Falcons injury updates:
Divine Dieablo: forearm fracture, “week to week”
Michael Penix Jr: bone bruise in ankle or foot, “day to day”

-12, 10 on field on sep. plays is embarrasing coaching error
-ATL not making/making good enough adjustments.
-Penix Jr. too timid/tentative.
Any I missed?
What Social Media says abt. #Falcons Loss
-Coaching not cutting it.
-Why no Bijan or Pitts in shotgun on 4th & 1
-Bijan not fed like SF fed McCaffrey
-ATL didn't capitalize on SF bruised defense, rattled QB.
-No crossing routes? SF vulnerable in mid-defense
