There are many questions facing this Falcons team, from “will they cut ties with members of the coaching staff?” to “how are they going to finally gin up a pass rush?” But the one that matters right here, right now as this team tries to survive its final four games pretty much all concern the offense.
I have some painful stats for you, because I am a jerk:
- Over the last four games, the Falcons have rushed for 211 yards, or just under 52 yards per game;
- The Falcons have allowed more than twice as many sacks (14) as they have managed for touchdown passes (6) over that span;
- The Falcons have gone from being one of the best third down converting offenses in the entire NFL to 18/50 over their last four games, which is frankly abysmal;
- The Falcons have not scored 20 points since November 4, over a month ago.
