The Falcons played a very uninspiring brand of football last week, and it was quite troubling in many aspects. From the multiple coaching and player execution miscues against the Chargers to the lackluster overall effort in Carolina, we were reminded that this team is still quite far from being a playoff contender.
While the Falcons are still mathematically in the playoff hunt, as we’ve been reminded by Head Coach Arthur Smith, we have to remember that this team is still very young and in the second year of roster reconstruction and development. Right now, the hope is that this team has shaken the previous week off and is prepared to put out a better effort against the Chicago Bears, who are trying to rebound from a 3 game losing streak.
