Man do we need Eric Foster's spirit and attitude more than ever.

With yet another disappointing contest that was decided by halftime in the books, finding the positives is becoming an increasingly difficult task. Here are the few barely deserving nominees for the player of the game:

Donald Brown: 16 carries, 70 yards, 4.4 ypc average

Pat McAfee: A whopping 9 punts for a 50,1 average to go along with 2 downed inside the 20.

Philip Wheeler: 12 tackles (7 solo) and 1 sack

Jerraud Powers: 3 solo tackles, 1 interception, 1 six-yard interception returned for a touchdown

Antonie Bethea: 11 tackles (8 solo), 1 pass deflected.

Is this supposed to be a poll?

If it were, I’d vote for Wheeler

Pat McAfee

Just because Bethea and Wheeler had tackles, it doesn’t mean they played good. It means the runner got by the d-line. Oh, and if Ryan didn’t throw a slant, Powers and Bethea would’ve been burned for a TD.

Pat McAfee gave the Falcons a long field to work with all day and the defense couldn’t get off the field. McAfee is the only shining star on the roster right now.
