Dan Quinn must lead the Atlanta Falcons to early season success

There have been plenty of Atlanta Falcons signings, new contracts, cuts, trades and a draft but let’s focus on Dan Quinn for a second.

Coach Quinn’s seat is inherently warm. I mean, which coach’s isn’t, save for Bill Bellichick. But the leader of the Falcons squad has to be successful.

Not just this year, but in the first month of the season. The Falcons open up the season on the road and alternate between home and road games through September. How they start the year will dictate how they finish.

Fans love to point out in 2016, when the team made it to Super Bowl 51, they actually lost the first game of the season.
