With the good, there must always be sprinkled in the bad.

After giving you the best moments of the Atlanta Falcons’ 2009 campaign, no season-in-review would be complete without a look at some of the worst moments.Santa Claus has his naughty and nice list. We have our LVP, worst play and “Shame on You” moments.

So without further adieu, let’s go to the digital tape!

Least Valuable Player: There are quite a few candidates for this one, including rusher Jerious Norwood. However, we’ll give Norwood the benefit of the doubt because he was injured for a good part of the season. Therefore, the debate comes down to whether this dubious distinction should be given to WR Michael Jenkins or DE Jamaal Anderson.

Both players were dreadful this season. But at the end of the day, the honor has to go to Anderson, even though Jenkins caught just one touchdown pass.

Anderson’s numbers are beyond awful. The former No. 8 overall pick recorded just 27 tackles and 1/2 of a sack in 13 starts this season. He has just 2 1/2 sacks in three years for the Falcons. Defensive linemen are supposed to tackle rushers and pressure quarterbacks. Anderson did neither well.

Congratulations Jamaal, you have won the prestigious "LVP" Award for your non-contributions to the 2009 Falcons.

Worst Play: In a season filled with disappointments, it’s the one against the Carolina Panthers that most comes to mind.

Down 21-19 in Week 10, Eric Weems gave the Falcons hope by returning a punt to the Carolina 49. But quarterback Matt Ryan dashed Atlanta’s hopes and doomed its season by throwing an ill-fated pass into double-coverage. The result was all-too-predictable. Carolina intercepted the ball and put the game out of reach on the ensuing drive.

Honorable mention: Jason Elam misses a 34-yarder on Atlanta’s previous possession that would have given the Falcons a one-point lead.(Skip ahead to the 2:15 mark in the video below if you want to relive this for some reason.

Falcons fans’ “Shame on You” moment: It’s one thing to go out there and politely applaud when one of your former players comes back into town.

It’s quite another to cheer enthusiastically when that player comes to town and helps beat your team like a drum. Atlanta has the reputation of being a soft sports town with wavering allegiances, which is true because so many people here grew up somewhere else.

However, if there was ever a moment that typified how fair-weather Atlanta sports fans can be, it had to be that moment after Mike Vick tossed a touchdown pass in his return to the Dome with the Philadelphia Eagles and Falcons fans wildly applauded.

The dude disgraced the Falcons franchise, lied to owner Arthur Blank and spent time in prison for killing dogs. Your team desperately needed a win over the Eagles in order to remain in the playoff hunt.

I don’t care if you think Vick was wronged by the legal system and that the Falcons made a big mistake releasing their former felonious signal-caller. You never cheer the enemy, especially when the playoffs are on the line. Epic fail, Falcons fans.
