The Falcons are either at or near their rock bottom. That’s where they are, and it’s not clear where they can go from here. At 0-3, they’re dangerously close to their worst start since 1999. (And if they lose when they lose on Monday night, they’ll tie that mark.) There’s no way around it. No shortcuts, and no one is coming to save them. In short, it’s just a bad time to be the Falcons or one of their fans.
Like it or not, the Falcons are scheduled to play a competitive football team on Monday night.
