The refs always miss calls. The Cards worked ATL today. :D

Same could be said the other way too. The holding call that should have been a safety and the DB bear hugging Fitzgerald preventing a 3rd down conversion for example. Or the INT that bounced off the receivers hands and led to a TD before the half.

The refs missed a ton of calls, but this game falls on the Falcons OL. By far and away their worst performance. They have gone against so many better defenses and DLs, but for whatever reason they just were awful. Of course, that's how I expected them to play all season. The run blocking was never very good, but pass protection was been excellent for the most part.
