freeman+coleman Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Scott KacsmarVerified account @FO_ScottKacsmar Since 1940, teams scoring 36+ points at home with 0 turnovers are 402-4. The Atlanta Falcons are 0-2 since last week when doing that. Half of the losses are Atlanta now. 3:28 PM - 30 Sep 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKillerNacho Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Cursed? No. They just have arguably the worst defense in the league without Deion and Keanu Neal. Okay, maybe not worse than Tampa Bay but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danand Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 They have a great starting defense and bad depth (apparently). This is just a season where they are not as healthy as they have been the past couple of seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Nope. But blaming a curse for something like this is about what I’d expect from the dirty birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackywabbit Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I was just thinking yesterday how they seem to have the worst close game "luck" of any team I've watched the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparition Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 If they are, it's because Arthur Blank decided to come down from the owner's box prematurely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stl4life07 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 They are just unlucky. There was a stat in college football that Auburn only lost 2 games when leading by 10+pts heading into the 4th quarter. Both those losses came to LSU. Like certain teams are just unlucky and you just cant explain it. In the case of the Falcons they are unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footbull3196 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Not only are the Falcons cursed, they're one of the top 3-4 cursed teams of all time. I would put Cleveland, Minnesota, and arguably Cincinnati over them (before last year, I would have included the Eagles in this group, but they won the Super Bowl). For most of their history, the Falcons were closer to a bad franchise (such as the Cardinals and the Lions) rather than a snake bitten franchise, but it's more than safe to say that after the last decade, the Falcons are without a doubt cursed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozizaki Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 The Super Bowl is in Atlanta this year. Yes, they're cursed. It took me until a couple weeks ago to remember. They're also missing something like 5 starters on defense right now. They'll end up 7-9ish this year, and they'll be back to contending next year.
