Don’t the Falcons always start this way? 5-1 4-2 6-3…they remind me of the Saints Pass happy Offense mediocre defense. I’m never one to get super excited about records in October so we’ll see what happens in January – February

It’s so ridiculous that other teams fans always bring up playoff wins. This team looks so much better than they have the past two years. Yes they have played some teams with a losing record, but the Redskins are a good team this year. They are one Josh Morgan screw up from a winning record. Denver is a very good team that has had a very hard schedule the first five games. Houston, New England, and Atlanta, I would hardly call that a bad team losing those games. And to say Matt Ryan looks like Flaaco or Romo is just retarted!!!

And the 9.1 wish they had watched something other than the Braves epic choke.

Because they’re winning, that’s the only time Falcon “fans” start watching. Worst fans in the entire league.

They play who the schedule makers make them play. Yeah, their opponents may not have been a murderers row, but you can only play who they put on the field with you

And regarding that Braves-Cardinals baseball game: the game started at 5 PM. Hardly anyone in Atlanta had made it home at the time, and by the time they did get home, the game was likely all but decided. Had the game started at 7 or 8, the rating would have been slightly higher I’d assume.

dogluverssuck- Atlanta opponenets have 6 more losses because of ATL and 6 less wins. Do that 7th grade math and see how that works for you.

Atlanta’s 1st 6 opponents have a combined 2011 record of 42-54 and not one of them finished with a winning record.

How’s that for a band wagon?

“Matty Ice” is turning into Tony Romo right before our eyes. Above average QB winning regular season games against weak competition (Atlanta has beaten 1 team .500 or above this season). Come playoff time, they take on a new identity = losers. They were an embarrassment as as #1 seed a couple of years ago and got embarrassed at home. Last year they put up 2 points vs the Giants? Weak sauce if you ask me.

Everyone knows that Atlanta is one of the biggest fair weather sports towns around.

Ryan reminds me of Flacco. Both of these guys will never get a ring.

Falcons will do good in the regular season, but come playoff time, they WILL be knocked out … and that’s a FACT
