What to know about the Falcons during the Week 9 bye

It would be hard to overstate how much of a disaster the 2019 calendar year has been for the Falcons, but heck, let’s try. The Falcons are 1-7, they’re currently quite cap-strapped, and they’re in full seller mode. They cut, re-signed, and cut Matt Bryant again, they brought back Vic Beasley and only added run stuffers to a defensive line that hasn’t been able to bring any heat, they’ve lost three safeties to injured reserve, and they did all this in a year where two NFC South contenders were trotting out backups week after week and the division might have been somewhat in reach had they been actual contenders.
