Let’s be honest, the Falcons locker room and fan base are navigating different paths right now. In other words, we see this embarrassing start through a different lens. But that said, there’s some noteworthy overlap, because both groups are in the middle of an earnest search for meaning. When you are 0-5 (or your favorite team is 0-5) and staring down 2.5 more months of football, you’d better find some purpose.
At 0-5, the Falcons have pretty much hit rock bottom. Dan Quinn was hired shortly after the Super Bowl in February 2015, and he’s been a fixture on the Falcons’ sideline ever since.
