Can Falcons go from chokers to champions?

By JOHN KRYK, QMI Agency


The Falcons have made the playoffs four out of the five years Mike Smith has been coaching the team. They've yet to win a post-season game under him. (JONATHAN ERNST/Reuters)

The impression you get of Mike Smith’s Atlanta Falcons is that they’re the NFL’s version of the mid-1990s Detroit Red Wings.

They win like crazy during the regular season. Then flop like clockwork in the playoffs.

Every. Single. Year.

  No.
  He has to prove himself before I decide.
