“Wouldn’t it be very Falcons if this team lost a whole bunch of games but still finished up like 7-9, ensuring they didn’t get a top ten draft pick?” we all said earlier in the year, not really smiling with our eyes or our mouths. Surprise, surprise, the Falcons are heading for that outcome as we speak.
With their second straight win, this one a 24-10 dismantling of the Panthers that the final score doesn’t really do justice to, the Falcons are at 6-9 with one game to go. That puts them at #10 in the current NFL draft pecking order, just behind the also disappointing Jaguars.
