"Ten games in and it's over. The Atlanta Falcons justifiably fired Dan Quinn to embrace a rebuild they still haven't finished, resulting in a team that Arthur Smith couldn't pilot to a winning season and Raheem Morris can't win with, either. This isn't rock bottom because there is no such thing in the long dark abyss that is Atlanta Falcons football, but you're not alone if you're feeling mighty low after Sunday."
"The Falcons came in intending to stop the run and did so, but then allowed almost 450 passing yards to Bryce Young in one of the most embarrassing efforts from this pass defense that I can remember, which is really saying something. They hit all their kicks and did solid work on special teams, but special teams did not prove decisive to the outcome."
"That's five straight losses, a 3-7 record, and the team currently on a collision course with a top ten pick that will be going to the Los Angeles Rams. There's a foundation here that I like quite a bit and there will be flexibility a year from now to remake this roster a bit, but all of that feels quite remote and small at the moment. The Falcons misjudged their moment yet again and now must face the prospect of remaking their front office, coaching staff, and roster for the third time since 2020."
The Atlanta Falcons entered the season amid an unfinished rebuild and a coaching change after firing Dan Quinn. The team sits 3-7 following five straight losses, with Arthur Smith unable to produce a winning season and Raheem Morris struggling as well. The defense stopped the run but surrendered nearly 450 passing yards to Bryce Young, exposing serious pass-coverage breakdowns. Special teams performed reliably but did not determine the outcome. Offensive injuries and failures, including Michael Penix Jr.'s exit, Kirk Cousins' ineffectiveness, and a stalling ground game, turned early leads into losses and leave the roster and front office facing major changes.
