After a disappointing loss to the Carolina Panthers, questions have arisen about the future of Atlanta Falcons coach Arthur Smith and quarterback Desmond Ridder. Smith expressed his belief in himself and what he has been building in Atlanta, while his players backed him up. The majority of the Falcons' losses this season have been due to turnovers at critical times and the defense allowing game-winning drives. With their playoff hopes now slim, the Falcons will need to rely on other teams to make the postseason.
