In the 157th episode of The Bow Tie Chronicles podcast, Falcons coach Dan Quinn discusses how he plans to have a purposeful bye week while getting ready for the Saints and playing six of the final eight games against NFC opponents. He also reflects on Arthur Blank’s press conference, the blown coverages against the Seahawks, being out-scored 144-50 in the first halve and many other issues that have contribute to the 1-7 start, the franchise’s worst since the 1996 team started 0-8.
