| At first it seemed silly, but I realized Arthur Blank is a pretty strict owner. Mora was fired after a 7-9 year (not TOO bad) 2 years after a championship appearence, and Reeves was fired after a season where they were only bad cause they lost Vick. It's starting to seem like we may start over staff-wise after this year. We'd keep Matt of course, I'm just saying TD, Smith, and the coordinators |

I sure hope so. TD can get the first ticket outta here. I'm done with him and his inability to draft correctly.

No. Smart regimes don't work that way.

I think Mike Smith is more on the hot seat than TD. Whether or not that is fair is objective. TD may get a pass because of the injuries but the way the team is looking falls on Mike Smith. If they were losing close games then that would be one thing but this team has regressed game by game. They can't score in the redzone and they are not disciplined at all. Just seems like Smith has no idea what he's doing at times.
But realistically I doubt AB scraps the whole thing. Maybe a couple of people will be trashed but I think the core of this regime will be given another year.

The entire regime? no.
The strength coaches again? probably.
Some position coaches? probably 1-2 are added with a QB coach (Musgrave back) and DE/pass rush coach

If the Falcons go 2-14 or 3-13 I think someone IMPORTANT (Smith, Nolan, Kotter or a combination) is gonna get wacked. You can't have that huge of letdown after you were penciled in as "Super Bowl or bust" contenders. AB's facial expression on the sidelines told the best story of the weekend. Maybe someone can find a gif of it but it said something to the degree of "Someone is going to to pay for this".

All the picks he's lost from the trades and stuff have left us with no depth, I agree. You can't have a championship team without deptj |

no..only reason they are doing bad is numerous injuries to their marquee players..
any team loses 2 pro bowl WR and pro bowl RB early cannot expect to do much...that is a lot to overcome |

We've been lucky the past few years with injuries. Green Bay has been without Matthews and their recievers and look how they're doing. The lack of depth is the GM's fault , and you can't be a contender every year without depth. As for the coaches, the lack of halftime adjustments shows their lack of coaching ability |

You can be if you don't have injuries.
We are one of the teams in the league that bank on not having injuries. Is it a good strategy? Not necessarily. But it's the price you pay to have stars on your team. The DL and OL are a whole different story.

Banking on not having injuries in the NFL?  Then why draft Baker, Moore Julio, etc..................? These guys were always banged up in College. Just curious..... And the price you pay for having stars on the team? What "stars" are you talking about? Julio Jones is the only super star like player on the team besides Gonzo and hes done after the year... Kinda reminds me of when Nique used to call Joe Johnson a superstar... Puleeze! |

| Im thinking AB will give TD and Smith another year, to see if this year was a fluke..... But Nolan and Kodetter have been H O R R R I B L E....(in my best Bill Walton voice. They gots to go. Cant really blame Nolan or Koetter entirely though. Look what they have to work with up front. But still.... |

I don't think Smitty or TD are in any danger this year.
I think some strength and conditioning coaches are rightfully going to get canned, and possibly a few position coaches.
Hard to say if Koetter and/or Nolan are on the hotseat yet, I think it depends on how the 2nd half of the season plays out.
