Let’s be blunt: A year ago the Falcons doomed themselves by showing too much hubris and making too many poor decisions. Despite everything that went wrong, they still finished 7-9, with a second half surge giving the team hope that they might be on a better track for 2020.
Since then, they’ve shed De’Vondre Campbell, Vic Beasley, Austin Hooper, and Wes Schweitzer, among others, but have added Todd Gurley, Dante Fowler Jr., and a pretty solid-looking draft class. With all those changes, surely expectations for the team have changed, as well.
