are set to host the Atlanta Falcons (-3) on Thursday Night Football in what will be their only prime time event of the year. This is our weekly series talking to the local experts on each team in an attempt to glean some inside information on an unfamiliar team. If you came here to read about how Marcus Mariota and Cordarelle Patterson are expected to perform this week then, hoo buddy, are you in the wrong place.
The Atlanta Falcons are far from an unfamiliar team and so instead of digging into the nitty and the gritty on their current roster for the second time in 12 days I chose to take a wider look at the hapless, some might say cursed, nature of their franchise and then apply those observations back to their still employed head coach.
