At first glance, NO.

But when you look at what they have left against what the other wild card possible teams have left, there is a chance. If the Falcons go 4-2 or 5-1 through their final 6 games they’re in. They play Tampa Bay, Carolina, SF, Bills, Lions, and Saints. That would make the beginning of the new coaching regime a success and something to build on.

I'd say no but they could squeak in this year cause no one in the NFL looks unbeatable. If only the Falcons had a better Oline (which is weird cause we've been drafting OLine), we'd have a good shot at a decent-to-good year.

3-3 at best. Likely 2-4

They're 5-7 but only 4 teams have a worse point differential. Their expected record based on differential is 3-9.

In other words, they're lucky to be 5-7. This team is absolutely terrible and this franchise needs to be completely torn down to the studs and rebuilt.
