"The Atlanta Falcons have perfected loss. They lose on the road and at home, in the United States and Europe. They lose in blowouts to the Miami Dolphins and squeakers to the New England Patriots. They lose in regulation and they lose in overtime. They lose after productive games give us hope and they lose well after hope has fled from our hearts."
"They simply lose, and if they aren't quite the pitiful losers the Jets and Raiders are, they still do it in a fashion that's incredibly painful and frequent enough to make them a losing football team. For eight years running, at this rate. And make no mistake, that's what they are. At 3-6, you're talking about being able to maybe lose one more game to have"
Atlanta Falcons repeatedly lose in varied ways, including blowouts, close games, regulation and overtime, both home and away and internationally. The team sits at 3-6, creating near-impossible playoff odds absent an extraordinary run. Only ten teams have reached the playoffs since 1993 from this record, underscoring the improbability. Since 2018 the Falcons are 50-75, the seventh-worst NFL mark, with no winning seasons or playoff appearances. The organization has cycled through three head coaches and two general managers in eight seasons. The team frequently celebrates isolated wins despite chronic underperformance and dismisses early criticism.
