Adversity, they sometimes say, tells you who you really are. The Falcons came into today 1-2 with endless questions about who they actually were and how good they could actually be in 2019, and they’ve answered with the worst possible answer.
The Falcons gave Dan Quinn another chance because he piloted the team to the Super Bowl in 2016, carries a reputation as a defensive coach and vowed to fix the defense himself, and is beloved in the building. It was always clear that the Falcons were going to give DQ that chance, but obviously what divided the fanbase was whether that chance was deserved.
