I suggested they contact the Falcons about a Carr trade prior to the deadline and I stand by it.
The Falcons had a real shot at the playoffs with better QB play. Carr was playing decent ball and the Raiders could've used the draft capital.
Now Atlanta has lost 4 in a row when merely going 2-2 would've had them tied for the division lead. And they've lost those 4 games giving up 17, 21, 19 and 19 points. Going 2-2 over that stretch was eminently doable but their QB play just killed them.
8 games this season where they've scored fewer than 20 points (and they've gone 0-8 in those games vs. 5-2 in games above 20) despite having some nice weapons on that offense. That is a team that should've won the pitiful south if they were getting merely average play from under center. Carr could've given them that.
