I swear to God if I hear one more analyst tell me they " Dont buy Atlanta" I am going to freak out. This team has a top 5 scoring defense, a top 10 scoring offense, a top 10 total offense, is the least penalized team in the NFL, is top 5 in turnover margin. The reason all thse jackasses give for not believing in Atlanta is that they play lots of close games so I thought Id actually look and see if they played an inordinate amount of 1 possession games. Here is what I found. The Falcons are 6-1 in games decided by one possession or less. The other first place teams are as follows
NY Giants 3-4 in one possession games ( same amount as Atlanta way worse record)
SF 4-1-1 in one possession games ( 1 less than Atlanta)
GB 3-3 in one possession games ( 1 less than Atlanta)
Houston 6-0 in one possession games ( 1 less than Atlanta)
Baltimore 6-2 in one possession games ( 1 more than Atlanta)
Denver 4-2 in one possession games ( 1 less than Atlanta)
New England 3-3 in one possession games ( 1 less than Atlanta)
- So basically every single first place team in the NFL has played almost the same amount of close games. So I ask why would anyone not "buy" a team that actually WINS the close games instead of losing them?? Would it be better if the Falcons were 8-4 and lost 3 of the close ones?? LOL.
