Yes. Not to exonerate the OL at all (they played like shit early)... but Matt Ryan also had the most unbelievable run of turnovers I've ever seen. And these were not like blindside strip sacks by Freeney and Mathis. Every time a guy yelled near him he'd drop the ball.
The OL could've played equally as bad and if Matt Ryan would've just held on to the ball like half the time, we'd probably have had a few more early wins and a completely different chain of events.
