questions in Atlanta...

why are the 7-0 Atlanta Falcons,in one word,"overlooked"??? why are the New York Giants,Chicago Bears,San Francisco 49ers,Houston Texans,and even the New England Patriots talked about more,and in the case of the Giants,Bears,49ers,and Texans,they are mentioned as the best teams in the NFL,by some pundits??? simply because the Falcons have won some games very ugly,in the last minute,or in overtime,to some very,very bad teams,in the Oakland Raiders(even though the Raiders have improved lately:at the time,the Raiders were bad record-wise),and the Carolina Panthers... the Falcons have failed miserably in the playoffs in recent team history... in the Matt Ryan era,the Falcons are 0-3,in the playoffs,so pundits are waiting for the collapse,or the playoff failure,maybe,but honestly,the Falcons are a very,very good team this year,but honestly,for Atlanta,it is all about the playoff run,and nothing less matters... getting beat last playoff season,24-2,by the Giants does not help,and i believe,they may have a huge chip on the shoulder,and they may feel slighted,but honestly,nobody is overlooking the Falcons,but i guess the pundits are waiting for,"a statement game"(a blowout win against another very good team),to really mention the Falcons into that group of "best teams",of the NFL...
