Always making new hurdles for the Falcons. Meanwhile new england and denver are the presumptive super bowl winners for no reason.
Since 2006 Peyton Manning is 2-6 in the playoffs yet Denver is the favorite? Don't tell me its a team sport because when Manning wins its always about him. When he loses it never is.
When the Falcons do win a super bowl the nfl will probably change the name to the good enough bowl.

gong to be tough for Ryan to lead us to a Super Bowl with defense TD has put on field but he should be able to put up 40 points per game . NFC might be to tough now for him to get there .

Yawn.... we were 10 yards away with the same defense. Our inability to score inside the red zone and move the ball in short yardage cost us the trip to the super bowl. We just fixed that.

I agree but our defense shouldn't have let either, the 49ers or the seahawks back in the game and that was all on defense. If we can just move the defense from 24th to 16th or 12th, with our offense. Nobody could take that. I love the Steven Jackson move, , Our offense is window is now, the only thing stopping it is the defense, we got to play, the 49ers, seahawks, packers and pats and not to mention the Saints twice. Our defense has to do something better, and so far, the D-line has gotten worse then anything unless were going to switch to 3-4. Angel

The Ravens shouldn't have let the 49ers back into it in the super bowl but they did. These playoffs were all about whomever had the ball last wins. You cant gauge our defense based on the playoffs. There were better defenses that played worse. Our defense was 5th in scoring this year despite the poor pass rush. We aren't a bad defense.

We had the ball last.

But yea. It was out D that let them back in. It was also the same D that was shutting them out. So really they can't be that bad.

Our O got nothing done when it needed to give the D a break. We needed a few first downs and couldn't get them.

We did play the two premiere defenses in the playoffs. So that says something.
