The offense is broken and it must be fixed. After starting off 3-0, the Falcons have not dropped three in a row and have looked very pedestrian doing it. The run defense is broken and probably can’t be fixed. If the Falcons are going to do anything this season, the offense needs to get rolling. The Falcons averaged 34 points per game last season. They are averaging just 21.3 points through six games.
