I can see the Falcons finishing 8-9 (they were 4-3 at one point) and inning the division.

They will most likely get smoked in the 1st round or blow a lead and lose a close one.

Blank will see a sub .500 record as progress and the playoff birth as a sure sign a SB is on the horizon.

He will keep Smith and we will fall low enough in the draft to be just out of range of the franchise QB picked by the Saints who finish 7-10 but a few picks ahead of the draft.

Next year will be a repeat of Quinn’s undeserved final year and Falcons will have to hire a new coach to replace the interim coach and start a new 3-5 year plan.
