That's...not really a consolation.
The injuries that hit the Falcons in 2013 and 2014 were lamentable and certainly contributed to the team's downward spiral those two seasons. To put those injuries in sobering perspective, however, we turn to reader B17 Bomber.

This means after a nice string of injury luck from 2008-2012, the Falcons got slammed the last two years. Forget poor coaching and lousy decisions; you could mount a fair argument that injuries are what ultimately got Mike Smith fired from the team.
