The article Is This Real? Your 7-0 Atlanta Falcons by Bill Barnwell was a great article because it was easy for me to relate to what Bill Barnwell was saying. I also think that the Falcons are a little overrated despite the fact that they are still the only undefeated team in the National Football League half way through the season. I agree with Bill Barnwell when he said based off of his findings he noticed that the Falcons have had the easiest schedule in the National Football Conference and that is why they might still be undefeated. I am a big football fan and I always have to hear about how good the Falcons are or if the Falcons are real or not on SportsCenter when I watch it so I have heard many different reasons for why or why not the Atlanta Falcons are a legit team to be afraid of when it comes to playing against them on Sunday afternoons. Bill Barnwell says the offense is about the same as it was last year and they defense is just a little bit better for the Atlanta Falcons as it was just one year ago, so that might factor in a little bit, but it still goes to prove that it is pretty much the same team statistically and they are just not playing the tougher competition at the time. I feel the Atlanta Falcons wont be undefeated too much longer once their level of competition catches up to them. Even if they do go into the playoffs undefeated, I feel like they haven’t played good enough football to win a single playoff game this year.
