What little optimism remained inside of me following the week 2 loss to the Cowboys dissolved following the week 3 loss to the Bears. That is impossible so lets call this a hard loss after a slightly strong start. But then that would suggest anyone could predict the Falcons. This is exactly when they show up for almost 60 minutes. struggled to maintain leads, and honestly nothing has been working out well for the Falcons this season.

Atlanta is dealing with a lot of injuries, they have. Nothing else weighs in the Falcons’ favor. The only hope I have this week is for the Falcons to win an inconsequential game to both crash their draft position and to give Dan Quinn more time. I don’t expect this one to be a bloodbath, per se, but I don’t know that Atlanta can hang. But I also exist in just one possible slice of reality, and in the one I’m in, the Falcons are a far worse football team right now than the Green Bay Packers. It doesn’t matter how far we get into a given season, I enjoy watching the Falcons win more than I enjoy watching the Falcons lose, and I’d love for them to be right in the final analysis and pull off an improbable run that ends in their first ever Super Bowl win. It’s no exaggeration to say that Atlanta’s best chance of keeping hope alive for their season comes tonight, and that’s primarily because this is a very good opponent and the rest of the NFC South has been pretty mediocre to this point.ĭo any of our staff expect the Falcons to win? You probably guessed the answer to that based on our Tallysight picks earlier this week, but read below to find out more. The kickoff has been pushed back and there’s now another Monday Night Football game that will overlap with it, but Falcons - Packers is going ahead tonight.
