Falcons fans stuck chanting for the backup two games in, already writing the season's obituary.

What happened

C.Rush fumbled on a scramble to open the game, then threw a pick to B.Okereke on the next drive — and B.Young turned both gifts into touchdowns to C.Hubbard and D.Waller before anyone had settled into their seat. 3-34 at home to Carolina is the kind of score that ends debates rather than starts them, and the loudest voice in the room right now belongs to whoever's calling for Strand.
