In a surprise twist, the Atlanta Falcons failed to make a single move at the trade deadline for the second consecutive year. Not as buyers. Not as sellers. It was pure silence in Atlanta, but Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot's silence was more telling about their confidence in this Falcons' roster.
There have been underperforming players across the board for the Dirty Birds, but the 3-5 Falcons still have a real shot to make the playoffs in a weak NFC. At receiver, they somehow expect Darnell Mooney to return to form, but at least the explanation in the secondary makes at least some sense.
