It was all very neat and tidy before this game. The Falcons were facing their easiest remaining opponent, Arthur Blank had made it clear through leaked reports that Dan Quinn had to improve before the bye to stand a chance of making it, and a win here was the only realistic way the Falcons were going to stay in the hunt or keep their head coach around.
Given that, the conclusions are equally neat and tidy. Dan Quinn is going to be fired, and it’s deserved. There’s no ambiguity and rallying in the offing, not with the Falcons playing the worst football of the Dan Quinn era and (aside from maybe 2013, the least talented Falcons team of the last decade) the worst Falcons football since Bobby Petrino was stinkily skulking on the sidelines.
