Falcons have lost to the Panthers, the Cardinals, the Vikings, the Bears, the Titans.
How did the Falcons win 7?

I wish I could believe in that. But we've gone above .500 twice since Brees retired and missed the playoffs both times (assuming Cards and Bears don't both win) and that's frustrating. We're constantly way over the cap and I just don't see how we can make moves for the next few years in FA. Draft capital is about the only thing we can bank on to make improvements to the team.

We're shackled to an underwater treadmill of mediocrity. Yes frick the Falcons and all and I'm actually glad we won today, but big picture as the season comes to another end I'm just frustrated at the state of the franchise.

No, I’m not.

I’m just a fan that has no bearing on the outcome of the team.

I want them to clean house and start over.

Championships are built on a winning culture. I want them to compete and win as many games as possible.

This is not a gotcha, because I don’t know. But what team in the last 10 years has tanked a year or two then proven themselves to be perennial contenders?

I just don’t think that works.

What works is getting rid of piss poor leadership.

I agree, Link.

It is super frustrating.

A lot of posters have outed themselves as fake arse faux fans. Is anyone working on a running list? Would be nice to have one for future reference.

how many of these seasons, in a row, are you willing to put up with, before YOU think it's time to change course and try something different?

hard to know who "tanked", but just looking at teams that were typically cellar dwellers, who are now in those teams that are thought of as contenders are the Bills, Bengals, and Dolphins... hell, look at the Lions...

just saying, having higher draft picks and hitting on those picks, or using them as leverage to improve your team, along with changing leadership/coaches, has put those franchises on better footing than what we are on
