as I was expecting at the start of the season, but the Falcons are even in the playoffs. Imagine that!

Might even be able to win the division and a playoff game or two if they don't cough up a hair ball against the Rams next week. What amazing things can happen when you have a real coach and a real quarterback!

Maybe next year they can even have their first back to back winning seasons...

Or, as the announcers kept saying yesterday, the surprising Falcons.

Good season, y'all.

They certainly have been. Although apparently the referees aren't buying it yet. Of the games I have been able to see they still often have to play the other team and the zebras. But teams regarded as "lower tier" usually do.

Not that the Falcons haven't earned their lower tier status over the years.

Nonsense. We all know that I am looking forward to a Cards/Falcons NFC Title game.

The Falcons have never in their history had two winning seasons in a row.
