2020 NFL Power Rankings: Patriots moving up as training camp nears

Atlanta stays at No. 19

This could be the final season for Atlanta Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff and head coach Dan Quinn. There was an expectation that they could be replaced this year after they struggled once again but owner Arthur Blank seems ready to give them one more chance to recapture the magic they had back in 2016 when they won the NFC Championship.

The problem is, they haven’t done a good enough job getting creative not only on the field, but off of it as well. This was pointed out by Jeff Benedict of Blogging Dirty, who says the team is in danger of being left behind by the many forward-thinking NFL franchises.

"“Outside the box thinking and creativity is something that has plagued this franchise for years and the game seems to be passing the front office by. While a change in leadership is not the right move currently, there has to be some worry that the Falcons will get left behind as teams become more creative on and off the field.” — Benedict, Blogging Dirty"

Atlanta has the talent on their team with Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Deion Jones, and Keanu Neal. They should be a competitive team year after year but something just feels off. Whenever that’s the case, the guys in charge start to see fingers pointed in their direction.
