Blogging Dirty wrote an article last month about how the Atlanta Falcons preseason under Dan Quinn has mirrored their regular season success, in which case fans should be nervous about being 0-2. However, we clearly missed a very important aspect of this preseason.
Let’s rewind for a minute. In 2015, the Falcons roster and coaching staff were attempting to get to know each other. They were trying to acclimate to changes and become accustomed to what coaches wanted and the regular season played out that way as well.
In 2016, the players and the staff were on the same page and the preseason reflected that as well as they went 3-1 on their way to the Super Bowl.
