The Falcons headed into a matchup against a fundamentally solid, well-rounded Colts team with hopes of stealing a win on the road, a win they needed and figured to be capable of getting. They came out of this week with more questions than ever before, thanks to a penalty-marred loss that established them as the ultimate “what if” team in the NFL through the early part of the 2019 season.
What is going to doom the Falcons and Dan Quinn, if they keep this up,many is the number of promises they haven’t kept. The focus on discipline has definitely not materialized, the promise to get this defense focused on snagging turnovers has been rewarded inconsistently at best, and the idea that this team has the heart and drive to turn things around is undermined every time we have to watch a game like this.
