"Throw In The Damn Towel!" one Falcons fan who traveled from Logansville to LA to watch the team play could be heard screaming in the 3rd quarter.

This was supposed to be the test to see if the Falcons would be ready for primetime and they failed in epic fashion.

The defense was holding on for dear life, even getting a pick of J Herbert by LB F Oluokun, but the offense kept letting them down and giving the ball back to the Chargers.  Along with that, the offense give up two defensive touchdowns, 1 pick 6 and 1 fumble, scoop and score.  The only bright side was the Falcons run defense held the Chargers ground game to just 19 yards on 16 carries.

But the offense, trying out a new offensive playbook stalled and struggled all came.  J Garoppolo threw 3 ints and no a single TD. T Gurley only had 19 yards rushing himself on 11 carries.

So there is plenty of work to be done to improve the offense and get ready for division rival Saints in Week 3.
