I can see the Falcons finishing 8-9 (they were 4-3 at one point) and inning the division.
They will most likely get smoked in the 1st round or blow a lead and lose a close one.
Blank will see a sub .500 record as progress and the playoff birth as a sure sign a SB is on the horizon.
He will keep Smith and we will fall low enough in the draft to be just out of range of the franchise QB picked by the Saints who finish 7-10 but a few picks ahead of the draft.
Next year will be a repeat of Quinn’s undeserved final year and Falcons will have to hire a new coach to replace the interim coach and start a new 3-5 year plan.

can i just say, as a saints fan, i love that we’re both bemoaning what we think will be our similar fates haha
Embrace the suck and drink away the pain. This is the Falcons way.
people who want a high pick for a QB must really want to see Jonnu start taking direct snaps next year
I actually agree w ur take and could see the same but i honesty see no kind of run coming nothing about Smiths tenure says winning streak. I’m not gonna complain about making the playoffs tho i would most mad Grady couldn’t play if we do .
I also want to start swinging for franchise QB bc u have to keep trying till u find them imo u either have one or u don’t .
I’m willing to wait 5 years. We are close. It’s not all coaching.
The team will be completely different in 5 years. Hopefully better.
You forgot the part where we sign Ryan Tannehill to a 2-3 year contract …
Sorry, you are right. Just a lot to keep track of.
Been telling people Smith is the new Jeff Fischer. And with Blank becoming more and more senile, buckle up.
Give me a spot in the playoffs over a draft pick every single time.
Amen
Bullshit
It’s out of our control as fans, whatever happens is what happens. Just gotta sit back and roll with the punches when it comes to this team. Dooming about it or being overly optimistic won’t change whatever results we see on the field 🤷🏾♂️
Any fan of any sport should have this mentality but if only it were so simple
This is the right approach. I used to be a lot more emotionally invested.
Then I survived 2016, got older, and now I realize this team has never given me back the same amount of relationship effort that I’ve always put in; and it turns out, it doesn’t even notice when you stop checking in every hour on the hour, just to see what it’s up to or if it wants to chat. It doesn’t get offended when I don’t spend money on it or if I skip a game because I’d rather spend some time on my mental health than be teased, tricked, and tossed aside.
Honestly, I’m a lot healthier since switching to the friend zone. I mean, there were so many red flags (literally) for decades.
