I've never seen any sports organization choke like this. It's not an Atlanta thing- it's a Braves thing. The Falcons went cold once. They didn't have anything for Denver in 1998. The Hawks haven't ever been title material. I'm willing to give Columbus (really, Steffen) credit for 2017 and not point to fate or anything. Maybe last season. Just about any team can have a poor game at the worst time, once or twice. But it's what the Braves do. It's what they do.
