The 37-17 loss to the Chicago Bears should count as a "no-show" for the Atlanta Falcons. Such a performance couldn't come at a worse time if you're head coach Arthur Smith. Host Aaron Freeman explains the on-field reasons for the team's most one-sided loss of the season, breaking down the defensive struggles, no run game, and the lack of an explosive passing attack.
Later, he revisits Smith's job status and how today's game could impact things. Will Falcons owner Arthur Blank decide to cut ties despite a stated desire to keep Smith? Aaron also looks at the Falcons playoff possibilities before getting into the other major offseason topic which will involve the team's search for a quarterback. He discusses why despite Justin Fields' impressive performance, he still thinks Kirk Cousins is the likelier option for the Falcons.
