Running back Michael Turner said that he told Gonzalez that he needs to come back and defend the title if the Falcons go all the way. Gonzalez’s answer?
“He was like, ‘No, no, no, no,’” Turner said.
Falcons will NOT have the easiest schedule in 2013. The lone win they got was after a "scare" by the visiting Seahawks, and then they lost the following week after having a 17-0 lead on the 49'ers. The Falcons had HOMEFIELD advantage, and blew that.
I believe Gonzalez will factor that and a lot of other things in. With the Falcons' track record, he may not want to prolong the agony.
