The "IT" is Matty Ice and several other factors. Shoot we could go on for hours trying to compare. It is no coincidence that they continue to make good decisions. It is obvious that others must think along the same lines as I stated. I dont see Atlanta in the News because the first 485 coaches they offered the job to said no either. Just an observation.......
Including two crucial ones such as taking Matt Ryan (not Jake Long) and trading up get a stud like Julio Jones (not a bum like Dion Jordan).
I could see us winning 4 or 5 games, ending up 5-11 or 6-10. There is still some talent on the team - but the horrible season so far has revealed some huge holes (eg. CB, MLB, OL) which would have been concealed with better coaching and talent management. Back to the drawing board in 2016 - SO disappointing...
How about pulling the records from just the past 3 years? Or the past 15? How about from the time Blank purchased the Falcons (2002)? Or all-time records? Again, the stats can skew whatever you want to show. Calling the Atlanta Falcons a model franchise either means you don't remember some of things about the Falcons (like two of their players being arrested during the SB for soliciting prostitutes to just last year pumping noise into their stadium and being fined) or you don't pay much attention to them. Having plenty of friends who are Falcons fans, they are laughing that someone actually believes this. The only difference between them and us is they have Matt Ryan. Now, they have Dan Quinn who is seems to be fantastic too.
