I do love that instead of just enjoying that their team is 8-0, Falcons fans have to instead defend against all the non-Falcons fans who don’t think they deserve it. Oh did I say love? I mean hate. I hate that. It totally sucks.

Here’s my advice to you, Falcons fans. Don’t stress about all this stuff. Because what if everyone here is right and the Falcons are really only the 4th or 5th best team in the NFC? That means the only thing you have to look forward to is lots and lots of emotional pain once the playoffs arrive. So you minus well enjoy it now while it lasts. /high fives Sportsgal.

Gee, yet ANOTHER article calling the Falcons a fraud. How original.

I have it on good authority that Atlanta is currently the best 8-0 team in the NFC South

This is acceptable.

If they do lose to the Saints, here’s hoping the score is 62-7.

As a Matt Ryan owner, I’d be more cool with 62-55. I will say this about the Falcons, Ryan in the 6th round is proving to be a steal.

Falcons aren’t the least bit impressive.

As long as first loss doesn’t come against the Saints, I’ll be fine

Yeah, GB scares me. Still get horrible flashbacks from playoff loss couple years back. Bring on Chicago and Jay Cutler.

but mediocre secondary and a average at best pass rush

This is true. I think the Falcons match up well with NY, Seattle and Chicago but not GB.

8-0 means 8-0. pretty fucking good.

10-0 is where it’s at.

Give me Ryan-Roddy-Julio-Tony at home. I’ll take it.

49ers got fucking Alex Smith throwing the ball

To describe what Alex Smallhands does as “throwing the ball” is, I believe, engaging in hyperbole.

I won’t believe in the Falcons until they beat someone in the playoffs. That may not be fair but their history of futility is hard to overcome.

If Seattle upset the Packers, and then the Falcons best Russell Wilson at home, will you really believe them? Is that a “big” enough win for you? Something tells me that it’s not.
