Falcons coach Mike Smith was frustrated with the amount of pressure the Saints put on quarterback Matt Ryan. Ryan was sacked three times and hit six additional times in Sunday's loss. "We had entirely too much pressure on our quarterback throughout the entire game," Smith said, per the team's website. "Whether it was five-man pressures, six-man pressures, four-man rushes, three-man rushes, we've got to do a better job in protecting our quarterback. It's everybody on the offense that is going to be a part of that; it's not just the offensive line." Still, don't expect changes on the offensive line yet, the report said.

Smith is right. The saints were able to keep consistent pressure all day and it was probably the difference in the game. They should be able to fix it though
