This is an Atlanta Falcons team in big trouble. Once 6-3 and easily leading the NFC South, the Falcons just relinquished the divisional lead after losing their fourth straight, a miserable 42-21 effort against the Minnesota Vikings where a game first half transformed into a nightmare second half.
This a team too talented to be awful, but too error-prone and inconsistent to be anywhere near great. We got that sobering reminder after the rough Saints loss, had it reinforced by the blowout Broncos humiliation, had it reinforced again by a mind-boggling Chargers defeat, and had reality grab us by the collar and shake us with that Vikings loss.
