Last week the likes of Michael Felger, Tony Massarotti and Gary Tanguay (not to mention Dakota from Braintree) told us that the Falcons were an undefeated offensive juggernaut that would shred the Patriots defense all day long. After listening some yesterday, apparently the Falcons were nothing but a flawed, dome NFC team that couldn't play in … Continue reading Do They Make The Grade?
