OK, another Falcons season has come and gone, and like all the previous ones, there’s no championship trophy on the mantel. I thought I’d use this opportunity to reflect on the season and provide my own opinions about what happened. It was a decent season, but not a great one. 2016 set the bar high and this year proved to be a bit of a let-down. It just never seemed we had the “it” factor to be a serious contender. Here is a collection of various thoughts on the Falcons year-that-was:

Super Bowl LI still haunts me.
It’s been a day and a half since I watched my Atlanta Falcons build a 25 point lead in Super Bowl LI, only to see it all slip away. The pain is still present, and I’m not sure when it will go away. When I wake up during the night, I think about plays not made, calls that went the wrong way, decisions that should’ve been changed.
I’ve lived here in Atlanta for nearly 28 years now, almost half my life. It’s by far the longest of anywhere I’ve ever lived. As a kid…
