The Falcons’ overtime collapse to the Panthers didn’t just end a season, it forced the entire franchise to look in the mirror. In this episode of Joe Patrick on Football, Joe takes a step back from the day-to-day headlines and dives into the big-picture future of the Atlanta Falcons.
This episode isn’t about hot-seat gossip or coaching rumor lists. It’s about:
🏈How the Michael Penix injury reshapes the long-term quarterback plan
🏈Why this roster, front office, and ownership feel out of sync
🏈What Atlanta must learn from the Detroit Lions’ blueprint
🏈Why the Falcons’ identity — on the field and in the city — needs a total reset
🏈The fan apathy problem, and how the team can win back Atlanta’s energy
Joe also compares the quiet atmosphere at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to the intensity found in college football environments across Georgia, and explains why that matters more than people think.
