Excerpt: "Minutes after the 30-20 loss to Carolina, tight end Tony Gonzalez admitted to hearing things.
What he heard was people jumping off the Falcons’ bandwagon.
But some folks have clearly never been sold on the team tied for the best record in the league and the only NFC team that has a playoff berth wrapped up.
NFL.com columnist Adam Schein wrote a column trying to separate the Super Bowl XLVII contenders from the pretenders.
The Falcons, Houston, Baltimore and Chicago fall into his pretenders group.
The Falcons and the Texans share the best record in the league at 11-2 and are trying to earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC and AFC respectively.
Baltimore just fired its offensive coordinator Cam Cameron after losing to Washington. Chicago got worked out by Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings.
He called the Falcons ‘Super Bowl Frauds, contended that Russell Wilson rookie was better than Matt Ryan, that Mike Smith can’t coach, the defense stinks and they don’t have any confidence." Read more...

Many up and coming teams deal with the play off monkey. Peyton had to deal with it. Eli had to deal with it. While Baltimore and San Diego had success in the playoffs they still couldn't reach the promised land with their current rosters.
The Falcons definitely have a play off monkey on their back. They know it. The NFL knows it. The fans know it. Come the post season is the time when we'll find out if Matt Ryan (et al) are the real deal. To whit, this game will not show anything to anyone other than the instant-gratification crowd and some pride.

Giants need to demolish Falcons, no close win, the D has to contain their offense and this will finish the Falcons as a SB contender and put to rest the Giants detractors as not even a play-off team
The Falcons need to do the same to restore their SB supporters within the media who finally baailed on the Eagles, but still cling to the Cowboys

I'm not sure how the author can call the Houston Texans pretenders, and yet not the 49ers. Originally Posted by RoanokeFan
