The Falcons have a path to the playoffs, but it involves a lucky and frankly unlikely number of losses from other contenders, plus five straight wins for Atlanta. I’m not dismissing that possibility out of hand until I have to, but I’m also resigned to this being a postseason-free season. It’s only logical to be.
A win still keeps them in the conversation, however loosely, while a loss pretty much submarines this thing for food and sets the Falcons on the path to a sweet, sweet top ten draft pick, which I know many are salivating over.
