The problem is most pundits don't want to come out and say the falcons are going to win because of the I told you so factor. This way if the falcons lose they can say see I was right. If the falcons win they can call it a feel good story. We are in the same boat as the saints in 09. No one believed in them and Favre was being handed his second Lombardi in November.

What I don't understand is if being 11-1 is considered dysfunctional by some fans what would they make of the Giants who go from blowout of the packers to one point loss to a division rival the next. They don't look playoff ready.

I think with the majority of the media its mostly laziness. Its easy to just look at a few highlights listen to a few others, think about the 1995 Falcons then just regurgitate. Those that look at it in depth usually come up with a different conclusion. Billick would be ine example.

We are getting respect though. I've heard the CBS pregame guys as well as Deion, Irvin and even Faulk say they are believers. Now the ESPN guys - Keyshawn, Berman, Ditka, Tom Jackson and Chris Carter are the absolute worst and by a large margin. They peddle soap opera, probably intentionally but their schtick is highly annoying.
