TAMPA —
They have made that implausible transition from undefeated to unwatchable.
They have gone from a team that makes just enough plays to win to committing more than enough blunders to lose.
The Falcons aren’t 5-0 anymore. There is no potential of a division title waiting for them, and even a playoff berth is morphed into a longshot. They are now 6-6 and look like the indecipherable crud that playoff teams scrape off the bottom of their shoes at the end of the regular season.
