When are the falcons going to learn that all the star corners in the world aren't going to help you when your d-line, LBs and safeties are mostly filled with a very pedestrian cast of players?

How many winning seasons in a row does Mike Smith have in Atl?

they're that team every offseason-one piece away from a run, in win now mode, etc. they've certainly been winners in the regular season but the falcons have gotten dicked in the playoffs under mike smith like clockwork. what i don't see mentioned very often is that their high profile free agency acquisitions (ray edwards, dunta robinson) and high picks spent in the trenches (peria jerry, sam baker) have generally not panned out. they just blew a bunch of picks on julio jones which will make it even harder to deal with the issues coming down the line for their front four.

Um once you reach a certain point 'winning seasons' aren't enough. They had the #1 seed in the playoffs, homefield, and got BOUNCED in the first round. They've yet to win a playoff game, with what everyone believes is a really good roster.

That isn't progress.

      1st period was a Masterclass on defense by both teams. About time for the Canes let’s keep it up.

      Yes, it tells me they’ve improved significantly from sitting at what, 30-31st in the league on the PP to 11th now.

      I wanted someone to hire him so we got the picks, but I'm also not upset that he'll now be back. I genuinely don't understand why so many fans on here dislike him so much.  No, he's not perfect and made some mistakes this year, especially at the end of the playoff game and going so soft in coverage on the final drive. But considering this place torched him all offseason for us having the "worst defense in NFL history" last year.  Said in the whole pre-draft process how we had to go defense in round 1 because of it and then complained the rest of the offseason that we didn't do enough to improve the defensive roster. How do people say all that about the defense and then complain when he turned that same unit into a pretty respectable defense this year.  They were really the only reason we were in a lot of games for most of the season, as the middle part of the season they really stepped up and were playing like one of the better defenses in the league. I don't see any reason we can't improve even more next year if we spend another offseason focusing on adding pieces on that side of the ball, which we should be able to do with our draft picks and cap space. We had the historically worst defense ever last year and people are upset because we weren't the 85 Bears this year, make it make sense.
