On Sunday, the Atlanta Falcons suffered their worst home loss since 2014 after the Seattle Seahawks defeated them 37-9 and eliminated them from playoff contention and raising more questions in regards to their coaching staff as the special team’s unit was once again scrutinized for their performance which included surrendering a touchdown on a kick return to start the third quarter.

“I have to be honest with you guys, if Arthur Blank doesn’t move on from this regime, and that means general manager and coach, I don’t think you split the difference, I think everybody goes at the end of the season,” 92-9 The Game’s Mike Bell said on Monday as he and Abe Gordon reacted to Atlanta’s ninth loss of the season.

“To me, it looked like we quit,” Bell said, explaining that while he believes Falcons players are true professionals, who show up to work every day, however their efforts on Sunday appeared “listless” and contributed to consistent issues they have been unable to correct. “I do think a change has to be made,” Gordon said as he agreed the Falcons should consider coaching personnel changes.
