TAMPA, Fla. -- Dan Quinn could have taken the easy way out by using the old adage "one game at a time" or dancing around the question completely. Instead, the Atlanta Falcons coach was rather direct when asked if he believes his team can make the playoffs at 6-6 and in the midst of a five-game losing skid.
"Absolutely," Quinn said. "Absolutely."
Not many of those who witnessed how the Falcons performed in Sunday’s 23-19 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may agree with Quinn. A team plagued by red zone woes, turnovers, dropped passes and penalties simply doesn’t deserve to be in the postseason picture.
