I’m not one to advocate for panic. Panic, especially four games into a season, is generally counterproductive at best and foolish at worst. It forces us into hot takes and causes us not to have patience, patience that has often proven warranted for the Falcons under Dan Quinn. They were Super Bowl team two years ago and an NFC Divisional Round team one year ago, after all. You can’t seriously advocate for firing Dan Quinn.
But you can panic about this team now. You can panic because they have to go on the road and face the Steelers next, and their defense has now surrendered an astonishing 80 points over the last two weeks.
