Playoffs or bust for him this year?

What does he have to do this year to appease the fan base?

2 more losses to Payton and no playoffs and he's done.

If he bombs this season, he'll be on the hot seat.

That's what it should be IMO. The falcons have the talent to be a playoff team, hes what holds them back.

So if he squeaks into the Wild Card and loses in the first round he comes back?

I don't think that's enough. Falcons have to be strong this year for him to avoid the hotseat / not get fired.

Well, it would at least buy him another year.

I would say playoff's or he is going to be gone.

This would give two years for a new coaching staff to get things on the right track in time for the new stadium.

They want us season ticket holders to pay the PSL? You better put a quality team on the field.

Smith & the GM got a contract extensions in January but I think Smith's only runs through the '15 season

I give the Falcons about a 25% chance of making the playoffs this year. Maybe as high as 30%.

He gone.

I expect them to improve but I just don't know if they've done enough on defense to make a huge jump.

If it came to either having a year like last year or having a mediocre year, I would rather crash and burn so we can start building again.

I actually think the worst scenario would be a middling effort where they squeak into the playoffs and lose first round, keeping Mike Smith around for another season.

He's already on the hot seat after 2013.

If they get a repeat of 2013, he might not even make it to Thanksgiving.
