Way back in December, a small lifetime ago, Arthur Smith compared the Falcons’ rebuild to the Bills. He didn’t call it a rebuild because nobody in Flowery Branch is interested in using that language, but the first-year Falcons coach did have some praise for the way Buffalo went from afterthought to one of the league’s leading lights in a relatively short span.
If you’ve forgotten, here’s what he had to say.
Arthur Smith with high praise for Buffalo. Thought it was interesting he made the comment that seeing the trajectory of the Bills is "not dissimilar to what" he and Terry Fontenot are "trying to build" in Atlanta.
