Heading into Week 14, the Falcons are sitting at 4-8 having just blown another opportunity to upset the Saints due to Dirk Koetter’s ineptitude. It’s a sad state of affairs for an Atlanta offense loaded with talent, but it’s what we’ve come to expect from this coaching staff.
The good news is that loss, coupled with some other teams around Atlanta winning, has pushed the Falcons up the projected draft order to 8th overall. I still expect the team to finish around 6-10, though even that is not a given considering the difficulty of the remaining schedule. One way or another, Atlanta is likely to wind up right around where they are now—give or take a few spots.
