FLOWERY BRANCH -- On the team's official facebook page, the Falcons posted this message: "No Falcons football today. What will you do instead?"
The fans gave some snide responses.
--Not hang my head in shame about the product on the field.
--Celebrate the fact we can't lose today!
--Maybe watch another team blow a 21-0 lead.
--This week is the best I've seen our defense play
--Feel less disappointment than usual.
The Falcons (2-6) return to work on Monday and start preparing to face Tampa Bay (1-7), which was defeated 22-17 by the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
