Falcons fans welcomed a new coach, a pass-rush hope and a 5-0 start that had the team and city dreaming about the playoffs in 2015. But as the season began to take a turn on a near-historic dive, the Falcons' bandwagon filled with blame and discourse.

For Falcons fans on Facebook and social media, Roddy White's disappearing act on the offense and the apparent tension in the locker room drew the biggest reactions.

With White publicly stating he was "not disgruntled," the fans' attention turned to the erradict play of quarterback Matt Ryan. With mistakes and fumbles mounting on the field, some questioned Ryan's health off the field. He quickly declared himself "healthy."

The dissent has recently turned to general manager Thomas Dimitroff and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan as the reasons for the woes.

The Falcons' still have two more games in the regular season. The playoffs? Who knows, but there's still a chance.
