Both things can be true.
It’s certainly true right now that the Atlanta Falcons are underachieving in a frustrating way for the talent on the roster and in the coaching room.
The team’s inconsistencies are growing old and more worrisome as time goes on, and it’s just not ideal to have a team laden with such potential for greatness stall out in the driveway like they have at times this season. We should expect more.
It’s also certainly true that the man taking the brunt of the ire right now, head coach Dan Quinn, is still a marvelous motivating force, astute assessor of talent and, for the most part, shrewd schemer.
