The Falcons have been full of surprises in 2021, most of them unpleasant. Even dour fans probably didn’t see the team getting absolutely hammered in Week 1, and while the final score of the Buccaneers game was not eyebrow-raising on its own, the twists and turns it took to get there were. Score predictions are usually doomed to look funny in hindsight, but that’s even more true thus far for these Falcons.
The show must go on, though, and we’re hoping Atlanta starts resemble a competent, consistent football team as soon as this week. As we’ve written and talked about throughout the week, the Giants are not going to be a pushover, but they are a team the best version of this year’s Falcons can probably beat.
