I really hope that we win Sunday’s game so we can end this playoff drought and the division championship drought. We got the Aints twice, Bucs, Panthers, Bears, Colts and Jets.

    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.
