More from the lack luster Falcons

In a November 30th article written for Grantland, Bill Barnwell details the incomplete tale of Falcons quaterback Matt Ryan.  At the time of print the Falcons team record stood at 11-1.  A very formidable and admirable win loss record.  One aspect of the article that i agree with is the point where Ryan's playoff record is mentioned, he is 0-3 in career playoff games.  The article goes on to say that these losses were games that the Falcons COULD HAVE won.  But they didn't.  So since the QB is the leader of the team and the team lost, he shoulders the blame.  I think this is a just and accurate assumption.  Those games got out of hand at some point, and if you look at them on tape the quaterback play of Matt Ryan is well below average!  So the finger is justly pointed.  People are alway trying to give credit to this man and this team.  Just look at the Packers who went nearly undefeated a short time ago, season meant nothing after the playoffs ended.  The Falcons get to the playoffs and have to play GREAT teams.  They just dont match up, the team is lacking in areas and these deficiencies are highlighted.  The Falcons have yet to beat a good playoff team IN THE PLAYOFFS, where it counts.  Until that day I will always under rate them.
