2019 Another lost season for the Falcons

After losing quarterback Matt Ryan to an ankle injury against the Rams last week, Atlanta’s offense was bound to have a difficult time keeping up with Russell Wilson and the Seahawks. But that does nothing to explain the Falcons’ continued issues on defense.

Even the most basic route combinations have flummoxed the Falcons. And unlike last year, when Atlanta finished 31st in defensive DVOA, this group hasn’t been devastated by injuries. When head coach Dan Quinn took over the unit this offseason, it was supposed to get better. Instead, it’s gotten worse. Only the lowly Dolphins have a lower pass-defense DVOA than the Falcons, and the Dolphins shouldn’t even count.

It’s looking more and more likely that Quinn will be let go at the end of the season, but no matter who ends up taking over, the Falcons will probably be stuck in this mess again next season.
