We’ll be tied and own a temporary tie breaker with 6 games left to play. If we lose we drop to 2 games behind and give them the tiebreaker.

Either way it won’t be over but if we win it’s a long, long way from over. Given how we’ve played the last month even with the win we’ve got a lot more winning to do.

We lost to the Titans

We lost to the Cardinals

It’s not really IF the Falcons win but how they when. They could go 7-0 and play the exact same shitty brand of football we’ve seen and then get smoked in the playoffs when they have the rude awakening of playing a good team.

I’ve never really seen such an easy schedule and any above average team with a half descent coach and QB would have 4-5 losses MAX. The Falcons already have 6.

The only thing making the playoffs is going to do is get Arthur Smith a contact extension and allow the Falcons to wallow in 7-10 9-8 range for two or three more years before everything falls apart and Blank fires Smith and the Falcons start over again.

Remember this is a franchise that NEVER HAD BACK TO BACK WINNING SEASONS until Matt Ryan showed up. While many teams have patterns of rebuilding and sustained success, the Falcons have been a perpetually rebuilding/underachieving franchise for almost their entire history. Sad but fucking true.

We’re going 2-5 in the final games

Pretty much…

There should be a lot of interest over the next 7 weeks, IMO…

NFC South contention, QB evaluation, Coaching adjustments, etc…

Now I’m a “Glass-half-full” type of person and I see hope for this team moving forward…

As unsettling as the QB position may be, there’s a best-case and worse-case scenario… Quite simply, it is either Ridder or it isn’t… I think the majority of fans would prefer the team to move on from Ridder as a starter…

There are resources at our disposal to obtain a QB this next off-season…

We still need speedy WR talent, O-line help, and EDGE rusher as essential needs…

Draft picks plus some cap space to spend gives this team options…
