Falcons didn't control poo against the bears what are you talking about. 

What? Falcons literally led the whole game...never trailed. Putting the Jets over the Falcons and in the top 10 is a joke.

How do you lead an entire game when the score was tied at the half? 

Lions game was also tied going into the 4th.....where you got saved by the clock run off. I wouldn’t call that controlling the entire game

I meant either led or tied. Never trailed against them.

Falcons had double digit leads on two seperate occasions against the Lions. Lost the turnover battle 3-0 and led for over 3 quarters of the game. Gave up a pick six and had a fluke turnover inside the 15 that would have put the game away in the 4th quarter.

How in the hell are the Pats rated higher then we are?  We just beat them in their house.

The Patriots lost to the team that beat the Patriots at home. That's a quality loss.

How does a team like the eagles get so much praise when they have faced 3 of the worst teams in football. All I can say is this. ATL and Carolina are the best right now for the NFC. Although there good KC has a cake schedule this year. They will be playoff bound but running into a team like the Jags or even Denver could cause them fits.

All these "Power Rankings" are the pop-farts of the sports journalism world, a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Go back and look at the power rankings at the beginning of the season to see how accurate they are.

The Falcons would have lost that game without a fluke play from a random tight end, and the bears not dropping two game winning touchdown passes in the final seconds. That game was NEVER out of hand or comfortable. Bears beat them up and down the field.

A falcons fans of all people should knows scores are the best indicator of actual game performance.

Cam Newton's mouth is still in preseason form, but his surgically repaired shoulder now appears to be back to his 2015 MVP form.

This should make some of you people happy...for some reason.

That random tight is our starter..3rd round pick last year. He he had a few long TD's last year as rookie (including against Carolina in Atlanta last year). Not sure I'd call that a fluke. 

And pretty sure Chicago fumbled the kickoff after the Falcons took a 6 point lead in the 4th. They were VERY lucky to get it back and that would have ended the game right there. We can go back and forth with lucky breaks for either team.

Yeah which is typically the case for a tight game where neither team ever really put the other away. 

like the chicago atlanta game earlier this year.
