This should not surprise a lot of Atlanta Falcons fans one bit. Given the 5-2 record and the two biggest upsets of the entire NFL season, Blank is relying heavily on his players to make this decision.
Regardless of how wrong the decision is.
All offseason Blank was very vocal about his expectations for the 2019 season and that jobs would be lost if this team did not meet his expectations. The speculation was a playoff appearance was the goal, if not at least getting to the NFC Championship game.
Bringing back Dan Quinn is the part most of us can at least understand, Thomas Dimitroff is another story.
