Atlanta Falcons – Falcons coaching staff

The Falcons coaches are nearing the end of a match. The storm circle is getting smaller and smaller and the squad has taken the time to build a massive base directly in the center of it. They are armed with a SCARs and rocket launchers and the crew seems ready to catch a W.

Suddenly, they see a squad building up towards them. Do they shoot down the ramp? Set traps? Take out the squad? Continue building? No. They panic. They run around in build-mode, struggling to put up walls and trying to escape the oncoming attack until it’s too late.

Building on the fly in Fortnite is like thinking on the fly in football. We harp on “the comeback” so much because it was so avoidable. The blown 28-3 lead against the Patriots in Super Bowl LI should have never happened.

“Stop this. You’re taking away what was a brilliant comeback from the Patriots sideline.” BS! That win should have never happened. A toddler would have coached a better fourth quarter than the Falcons staff, who had apparently not seen a minute of game tape on the Patriots.

The Falcons staff is the squad that collects second place finishes because they don’t have the pieces, nor the confidence, it takes to win. Still, second place is better than 3-100 in Fortnite or 3-32 in the NFL. So props, I guess.

The Patriots are trash.
