The Atlanta Falcons have played a lot of bad football in their history, and they’ve played some very bad football this year. When they clawed their way to .500, it was easy to feel some hope that the Week 1 drubbing against the Eagles was as bad as it was going to get in 2021, even though the schedule was getting tougher. The underlying metrics, the team’s inconsistent on-field performance and the combination of a first year coaching staff making questionable decisions with a limited roster still made it clear this team had a ceiling, but Atlanta felt like they could still give us some fun games and at least a couple of wins in the second half of the season.
The Falcons are vowing to fix something they probably can’t fix in 2021
