The thing about the Falcons is that their issues can’t be boiled down to just one or two things. That’s rarely the case for a team leaking oil like the Falcons, losers of six consecutive games, capped by the surrender at Carolina on Sunday.
But all of their problems come back to this: The Falcons have a weak foundation of talent after too many draft misses by general manager Thomas Dimitroff.
That may seem obvious now, but it was obscured by the 6-1 start.
