I can see the Falcons finishing 8-9 (they were 4-3 at one point) and inning the division.

They will most likely get smoked in the 1st round or blow a lead and lose a close one.

Blank will see a sub .500 record as progress and the playoff birth as a sure sign a SB is on the horizon.

He will keep Smith and we will fall low enough in the draft to be just out of range of the franchise QB picked by the Saints who finish 7-10 but a few picks ahead of the draft.

Next year will be a repeat of Quinn’s undeserved final year and Falcons will have to hire a new coach to replace the interim coach and start a new 3-5 year plan.

    people who want a high pick for a QB must really want to see Jonnu start taking direct snaps next year

    Been telling people Smith is the new Jeff Fischer. And with Blank becoming more and more senile, buckle up.

    I actually agree w ur take and could see the same but i honesty see no kind of run coming nothing about Smiths tenure says winning streak. I’m not gonna complain about making the playoffs tho i would most mad Grady couldn’t play if we do .

    I also want to start swinging for franchise QB bc u have to keep trying till u find them imo u either have one or u don’t .

    It’s out of our control as fans, whatever happens is what happens. Just gotta sit back and roll with the punches when it comes to this team. Dooming about it or being overly optimistic won’t change whatever results we see on the field 🤷🏾‍♂️

      This is the right approach. I used to be a lot more emotionally invested.

      Then I survived 2016, got older, and now I realize this team has never given me back the same amount of relationship effort that I’ve always put in; and it turns out, it doesn’t even notice when you stop checking in every hour on the hour, just to see what it’s up to or if it wants to chat. It doesn’t get offended when I don’t spend money on it or if I skip a game because I’d rather spend some time on my mental health than be teased, tricked, and tossed aside.

      Honestly, I’m a lot healthier since switching to the friend zone. I mean, there were so many red flags (literally) for decades.
