Average score against teams with records .500 or lower.
New Orleans 25 Opponents 20 - 5 point average margin of victory.
Chicago 21 Opponents 15 - 6 points
New York Giants 28 Opponents 22 - 6 points
Philadelphia 30 Opponents 27 - 3 points
Green Bay 29 Opponents 15 - 14 points
Atlanta 30 Opponents 16 - 14 points.
If only the Falcons could dominate the lightweights like thos other elite NFC teams.

Don't forget each teams record against opponents with records .500 or lower:
New Orleans: 7-2
Chicago: 7-2
NY Giants: 6-3
Philadelphia: 5-2
Green Bay: 6-2
Atlanta: 5-0
We obviously don't beat inferior competition enough.

Everyone is just begging to get ATL respect. We don't need it. Even if we win the SB they won't give us the respect that everyone is looking for. ATL is not a big enough market to warrant it.

I'm not one of those people. You'll never see me argue with power rankings or get upset that the team isn't getting the recognition it derserves.
But...in this case....we've just had some media folks saying some dumb stuff (Bayless), and it's just fun to make fun of him.
