As hard as it is to swallow the Falcons facing their first 1-2 start since 2013, what has been even harder for all Falcons fans to face is the injury bug that has plagued the roster already. Entering week four of the season, the Dirty Birds have already become aware that they will have to move on with starting safeties Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen. On top of that, they’re hoping that they can get Pro Bowl linebacker Deion Jones back sometime in the last quarter of the season.
However, the stinging loss to the Saints is behind the team now, and Dan Quinn said it best in his early-week press conference.
