That defense is well coached but I can't even name 5 starters on that squad. Winning on pick-sixes in OT and having to rely on the opposing team gift you the game in the final 2 minutes makes me think they're destined for an 11-5 or 12-4 Bears/Lions type fluke season.
Atlanta took a slightly longer break on their schedule of ~every 2 years of being a paper tiger, but welcome back!
2010 and 2012 they magically had a joke schedule as well and won all of their close games. Paper thin defense, good offense with pretty good QB and a few dangerous skill players for that turf, joke of a division/schedule is the Atlanta recipe for success.

I agree.
The Falcons this season are a great example of how in the NFL sometimes regular season records can be deceiving.The Falcons are 5-0 and the Rams are 2-3.But if someone told me the Falcons are better or even as good as the Rams I would disagree with that 100%.
