Despite the fact that the Atlanta Falcons reached the Super Bowl as NFC Champions just a few seasons ago, team owner Arthur Blank doesn't seem to happy these days. Since the Falcons' infamous defeat at the hands of the heralded New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI, Atlanta has struggled at times with the New Orleans Saints promptly taking over the NFC South division.

According to a recent report from Peter King of NBC Sports, Blank is “getting restless” with the direction of his franchise.

“I keep hearing owner Arthur Blank is getting restless. In the Falcons’ last 35 games (the first one in that 35-game string is the Super Bowl loss to New England), they’re 18-17, and they’ve got a $30-million-a-year quarterback and a receiver, soon, likely to be a $20-million-a-year player. Yet a team in the Falcons’ division, New Orleans, scored 90 points more than Atlanta last year. Seems smart to reinforce an aging offensive line, which Atlanta GM Thomas Dimitroff did early in the draft with a new guard, Chris Lindstrom, and a tackle, Kaleb McGary, who could both start this year.”

After blowing a 28-3 lead in Super Bowl LI, Atlanta returned to the postseason the following year but split the team's two playoff matchups. After defeating the Los Angeles Rams, the Falcons were then edged by the eventual Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.

Then, in 2018, Atlanta missed the postseason altogether en route to finishing the regular season at 7-9. Atlanta has now missed out on the postseason in four of the last six seasons.
