Don’t think too much about the injuries. No, not having Austin Hooper, Devonta Freeman, Ito Smith and Chris Lindstrom does not help, but consider what they do have.
They’ve got Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Jake Matthews, Alex Mack, Russell Gage and a promising rookie right tackle in Kaleb McGary. For a coordinator who is so pass-happy as Dirk Koetter, that should be enough for fireworks. Heck, Freeman’s even coming back.
The Falcons offense has been deeply disappointing all season long, and injuries were rarely what you blamed.
