We spent the last few weeks saying the Atlanta Falcons are basically in a must-win situation. At 1-2 Atlanta Falcons Hoodie , another loss tosses a rock-bottom team a shovel. At 1-3, another loss rolls a boulder over the top of the hole. Dan Quinn really needed to beat the Bengals to keep a good chance at making the playoffs. He really, really needed to beat the Steelers to keep any realistic chance of making the playoffs.What’s the realistic chance? Analytics site 538 ran the numbers from 1990 to 2013. It’s a little outdated, but teams that started 1-4, obviously, did not make the playoffs often. 538 SportsThat’s right. 5 percent of teams that start at 1-4 end up in the playoffs. This may be even tougher with a tough NFC pushing a wildcard berth up to 10 or more wins. Even assuming the conference falls apart and 9 wins will get a team that last wild card spot, the Falcons need to go 8-3 to get there. Give me a healthy Falcons team and I’m optimistic they can slice through this tepid schedule for 8 more wins. Give me Jordan Richards, Duke Riley, and whatever Marquand Manuel is doing with the defensive line and secondary Cheap Customized Atlanta Falcons Jerseys , and I cannot see it. Atlanta still faces off with the Ravens, the Packers, the Saints, the Panthers, and whatever Tampa Bay is after benching Ryan Fitzpatrick. 2018 went so quickly from potential Super Bowl berth to wasted season that I have whiplash. On the plus side, the Falcons are looking at a top 5 draft pick. Prepare for lots of draft talk.The Falcoholic and FOX 5 Atlanta have a question for you We’re kicking off something fun here at The Falcoholic this week. I’ve got a Falcons-related question for you, and I’ll share the best answers with the entire greater Atlanta metro area on FOX 5 Atlanta on Thursday.Here’s the question we’re going with for this week. It is certainly a pressing one. We’re not looking for things like “let them take more veteran rest days” or “fire the strength coach” or anything like that. This team is in dire injury straits, and we believe our talented readers can solve it. Think outside the box, and hit me with whatever you’ve got. Just don’t hit me too hard — I don’t want to land on IR Womens Customized Atlanta Falcons Jerseys , also. There are certainly plenty of questions I could have asked you about this team this week. What’s the deal with Vic Beasley? How on earth did the Falcons miss 17 tackles against the Saints? What can we expect when they take on the Bengals on Sunday?And to focus on the one bright spot in this dark, injury-plagued season, did this offense time travel to 2018 from the 2016 season? Is Sark dealing with an Invasion of the Body Snatchers-type deal where his offensive mindset has been replaced by Kyle Shanahan’s? Could Matt Ryan have an MVP-caliber season again in a year when the defense has been absolutely decimated by injuries, so it won’t even matter? How sad are we going to be if that happens? But with so many key players on IR, it’s obvious that this is the most pressing question for this week, so we need your solutions to the Falcons’ injury woes. Share your answers in the comments or tweet them to me, and I’ll share the funniest, most creative ones on the air — as long as they won’t get us in trouble with the FCC. Be sure to tune into FOX5 Atlanta on Thursday to see if you’re one of the lucky readers we selected. « isioning: bles elastic capacA year on, rifle-toting so » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
