The Falcons went to Dallas yesterday and came back to Atlanta with a 40-point loss to the Cowboys. It is arguably the lowest point of the season for the Falcons after total failure of the offense, the defense, and even special teams.

Falcons analyst Dave Archer spoke with John and Hugh on Monday morning and despite the awful showing in Dallas, was able to find a few positives.

"I thought they did a better job against the run, Pollard and Elliott has 85 yards rushing on 25 carries, well under 4-yards a carry, that's probably the one thing you point to," says Archer. "This thing got sideways in a quarter, this is a talented Dallas offense, you had to score touchdowns, and you couldn't settle for three and they went dormant on offense and the defense doesn't have enough weapons to protect."

For the Falcons there isn't much time to wallow as they host the Patriots on a short-week with a Thursday Night game to kick of Week 12 in the NFL.
