Things have changed in Atlanta and they have changed rapidly. Barely 12 months back, it looked like the Falcons had the right coach for quarterback Matt Ryan, who was flush with weapons like Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Kyle Pitts, and Russell Gage. Would we see flashes of Ryan’s 2016 MVP season?
A whole lot has changed. Julio has since been traded and cut. Ryan was traded. Ridley suspended for 2022. Gas is a whole lot more expensive than last year, too. Everything has been terrible. Fans are now faced with a drastically different team led by free agent signing Marcus Mariota.
