2. A Fantastic Coaching Staff:

Dan Quinn was a fantastic hire for the Atlanta Falcons. His second year with the franchise has been a magic ride. One thing that is worth noting, the Falcons have had a ton of blowouts this season. They had six games in the regular season in which they won by double digits. The Falcons aren’t just a pretty offense, their defense developed a feisty personality along the way. That extra toughness is a result of Quinn’s coaching and skills as a teacher.

Kyle Shanahan is the best offensive coordinator the game has right now, and soon he should be the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Shanahan has a great offensive mind set, but he meshes it with what he has to work with. He thinks about the players and their strengths and weaknesses when calling plays.

The Falcons have some great minds on their coaching staff. These great minds come with plenty of poise and confidence. You can see the discipline and toughness of Quinn in his players. The Falcons have less experience than the Patriots and Bill Belichick, but don’t expect them to be unprepared.
