I rewatched the game and wrote down some things I found interesting:
Kick Returns
Return 1: Ted Ginn meets first defender at 13 yard line
Return 2: Ted Ginn meets first defender at 12 yard line
Return 3: Ted Ginn meets first defender at 13 yard line
Return 4: Patrick Cobbs meets first defender at 14 yard line
Return 5: Patrick Cobbs meets first defender at 19 yard line
The blocking was terrible. Only once was a returner even able to make it past the 15 before having to dodge multiple defenders. This had nothing to do with who we had returning kicks.

Here are the results from the four plays with Pat White in the game:
Play 1: Ronnie run up middle, 4 yard gain
Play 2: Pat White run to left, 0 yard gain
Play 3: Pat White incomplete pass, 0 yard gain
Play 4: Ted Ginn busted play, 1 yard gain
So in four plays with Pat White we gain 5 yards. In the plays where White was involved we gained 1 yard on three plays.
Farthest Pass in the Air
For those debating Pennington's arm I tracked how far his deepest passes traveled in the air.
His farthest pass was in the 4thQ to Bess and traveled 21 yards in the air.
His 2nd farthest pass was to Ginn and traveled 16 yards in the air.
His 3rd farthest pass was to Camarillo and traveled 15 yards in the air.
These were the three farthest passes in the air by Pennington all game including incomplete passes.

- Will Allen's pass interference on the first 3rd down of the game was awful. It was 3rd and five and he felt the need to try to aggressively break up the pass when the receiver was 3 yards shy of the first.
- When the Falcon's first drive ended it was because Philip Merling drilled Matt Ryan in the chest on 2nd and 3rd down.
- On Pennington's fumble Ronnie had to block and went for the DE's legs which would have been enough since the play was clearly a quick pass by Chad had to hold it because he had nobody to throw too.
- Also on that fumble play, for some reason on 3rd and 5 we had both Ginn and Camarillo running crossing routes 3yards in front of the first down marker.
- Matt Ryan was under pressure all day and was knocked to the ground over 7 times.
- On the first TD pass to the fullback Channing Crowder was running towards him but then strangely looked behind him at a covered Tony Gonzalez and when he looked back he drifted away from the fullback. By the time he recovered the throw had already been made.
- On Solai's second play in the game he drove the center back 2 yards on a run play, disrupting the play for no gain. On the play after that he drove the center 5 yards straight back into the pocket on a pass play.
- Jake Long stopped that first fumble return from being a touchdown.
- 2 straight fullback dives to start the second half?
- On Hartline's PI he literally ran straight at the corner and run blocked him for a couple yards before turning around for the pass
- Pennington's interception was bad. Peterson read it all the way and was in a zone right next to Fasano.
- On Ronnie's big 14 yard play he had to juke twice in the backfield because of penetration and then destroyed a DB at the end of the run.
- On the TD pass to Fasano that was called back Pennington was 2 yards over the line of scrimmage but they didn't call it.
- Pennington was extra awful on 2nd and long. He was 5-7 for only 27 yards. He had one first down and one interception. His yards per attempt was 3.8.
- Ronnie had a fantastic block for Ricky where he took out two defenders.
