The 2023 Atlanta Falcons are what we think they are.
There really is no getting around it any longer. This iteration of the Falcons, as talented on offense and as improved on defense as it is, cannot consistently win games.
It’s the story of the season, the story of multiple seasons going back to the first game of 2021. The team can do plenty of things well. They can erase deficits; they can stifle opponents in the red zone. They can run the ball; they can throw the ball. They can play strong ball in coverage; and they can make big plays on the defensive line to kill drives.
