So what is their offseason plan? They looked competent some weeks and awful other times. Matt Ryan will stay, the defense needs significant imrovement.

Matt Ryan held the ball too long and took too many sacks. Ryan is decent in name only, his game now sucks. I had a chance to watch them play nearly all of their games. Take away the Dallas game and that offense was never explosive this year and that falls on the qb.

They’re much better than their record. If the games were three quarters long, they’d be a playoff team. And they’re gonna prolly get a great draft pick, possibly Fields.
There was the Cowboys game. The Bears game. They led the Saints late. They led the Bucs 24-7before the second half Brady avalanche. And they nearly went to KC and beat the 14-1 Chiefs.

They lost to the Carolina Panthers who are rebuilding. The Falcons are as bad as their record says. I didn’t realize they were the worst team in the NFC because i watch them all the time, but they should blow it all up. Keep Ridley and get rid of everyone else.

Any given Sunday. They’re a dangerous team.
They’re not the Jags. Just because you have a bad record doesn’t necessarily mean you’re an easy team to beat every week. If you follow them like you do, you know first hand that they can hang with anyone on any given week. They are just horrible at closing teams out.

They play for 2.5 quarters... They aren’t awful talent wise but you are what your record says you are. Lots of shit luck though. Fired the GM/Coach. I think a new regime comes in and blows up a lot of that roster. It’s time.

This... truth. They can beat or hang with anyone any day but something is just off. Time to blow it up.

I disagree. Matt Ryan would have gotten Jacksonville 4-5 wins too. There is not that big of a difference between Jacksonville and Atlanta. Equally bad this year. Jacksonville played some close games and were blown out a few times but they didn’t have a quarterback.

If Atlanta is so bad, how did they almost beat the Bucs, Chiefs, and Saints in the last month? Those are 3 SB contenders. There is obviously talent there to go into these fourth quarters with chances to beat these playoff teams. Not finishing the job? Gotta look at the coaching staff for that.

Atlanta had those 3-4 games early in the season they were like 99% to win but ended up losing. Chicago, Dallas and Detroit maybe another one I'm forgetting

Bad team, but the "best" at blowing leads in spectacular fashion!
