They lost it. Why trust the Falcons now? They gave up a 17-point, first-half lead. They gave it up to a team that can’t hold leads of its own, much less erase another team’s. They gave it up with a defense that keeps making games tough after the offense goes overboard to make them easier. FANTASY: Week 8 waiver wire must-have pickups And they gave it up by suddenly, and inexplicably, going all riverboat-gambler at the worst possible time....

The valley’s business ecology depends on failure the same way the chaparral-covered hills around us depend on fire–it wipes out the old growth and creates space for new life. No fire, no grass. No grass, no deer. No deer, no predators. Pretty soon, you have a sterile monoculture devoid of life. Down among the industrial parks and in the suburbs, it is no different.
