FLOWERY BRANCH — Nothing is going right for the Atlanta Falcons, and coach Mike Smith said he is fully to blame. "The team is not being coached as well as it needs to be coached," Smith said Monday, "and I take full responsibility for that." Riding a four-game losing streak, the Falcons (2-8) have just two days to practice before hosting New Orleans (8-2) on Thursday night.
