Matt Ryan and the Falcons are an exact example of what a change of offensive identity can produce

Really... Last year was a fluke and this year we were ravaged with injuries. I might add we destroyed them the first meeting. 

Still comes off as an excuse and doesn't change the fact that they kicked our ass 3 straight games.   Got to give them props even if it is half-hearted.

Knew this thread would just turn into people down playing the Falcons and their success. Some of you guys are ridiculous. They had an incredible season, beat some good teams, and have a great chance to play for a Super Bowl birth.

Stop being ignorant and pathetic, they're very good. I'm trying to talk about how a new offensive coordinator saved Matt Ryan, and he's the MVP because of it. A similar OC could have a similar effect on Cam

I knew this would turn into some fair weather Panthers fans sucking ATLs ass while they jump bandwagons.

We kicked there ass for 4 straight years but that's history. ATL is a good team but they will not be able to stop teams like Sea, Dallas, or NYG. All three teams have the Kryptonite for ATL because there defense is so weak.

It's always tough to make a point that hinges upon even mild praise of a rival team.          

You saw it all the time on the Falcons boards over the past few years; one poster would say "we should XYZ like the Saints" and 5 jump down his throat with a "fug mole face," a Vicodin joke, or a wholesale bashing/discounting of their entire franchise & history. 

I see all the time our fans whining about why we are not like other teams and trashing our GM and Coach for one bad season when both the Saints or the Falcons haven't seen the playoffs since 2012.

Yes and as you say that's history.  Today they own the south.  I agree that it's going to be a tough road for them and I have my doubts they can make it to the bowl much less win it but you got to admit they have a chance.  As much as it makes my stomach turn to admit they are playing at a level that can win it all.   But fug Atlanta and their weesel faced owner.

Any team in the playoffs has a chance and it's our fault for allowing ATL to have a cake walk to the playoffs. I just know how hard it was for us and we were a much more complete team last year.
