The Falcons have been a good team this year WHEN they feel like it. Their 6-3 limp past the Cardinals removed their ability to claim to be a good team without qualifiers. They're good when they bring their A game, but you can't count on them to bring their A game.
True....but this has been a surprise. We expected this type of year down the line....maybe even next season. But they had all the markings of an 8-8 squad so I'll say their "A" game is actually a case of over-achievement.
I'm proud of this team.
