Summary: Are The Warriors Overrated?

Are the Falcons overrated?
Entering the 2015 season, the Falcons fans had lofty expectancies for the team to go on to the Super Bowl. However, those expectancies were impractical, considering some of the major unsorted complications. When they had only 6 regular season matches left, Atlanta was at 6-4, a record entirely inconsistent with very naïve expectancies. A precise examination of the Falcons’ record last season reveals how overrated they were.
The team’s susceptibilities were really exposed when the Falcons lost against the Saints. Struggling to almost outdo Tennessee was unacceptable. The Falcons’ “strong” offense aggregated merely 10 points. While some said that a 10-7 victory is a victory, it was not when claiming of being Super Bowl-bound.

    This team showed great adversity yesterday. Now I know this game should not have been as close as it was and that needs to be fixed. But for this young Buccaneers team to come out and surrender a two score lead and still overcome adversity is an impressive feat and shows growth with this Bucs team. So many times in the past, we have watched our Bucs slowly self destruct and lose big leads and never get them back. Yes the Bucs should have blown them out, yes the Bucs still suffer from the kicking blues (as of yesterday), yes the Bucs didn't get a sack against a lackluster Giants offensive lineman.…

Defense has to create turnovers.…
