This might be the beginning of the end.
I’ve been trying to avoid thinking of what might happen if the Atlanta Falcons mess this season up; if Dan Quinn’s master plan for fixing the 2018 woes wound up backfiring on him; if another season gets wasted for this supremely talented roster.
Sunday’s Titans loss, one of the worst and most embarrassing in Quinn’s time at the helm, felt like the tolling of a grim bell. It hints that something might be rotting within this team, once the toast of the NFC and a hard out every week.
