As The Falcoholic’s resident expert in criticizing Dirk Koetter, I feel I need to begin this piece by actually praising him. He’s been dealt a difficult hand in the form of a defense that is giving up an utterly ridiculous 39.0 points per game, and has been forced to play from behind far too often. Even with a lead, Koetter is essentially forced to call the offense like he’s behind, because the expectation is that the defense literally cannot stop anyone.
On that note, the offense has clearly not been the biggest problem with the 2020 incarnation of the Falcons.
