Soaring Atlanta Falcons Just Worry About Flying Higher

Filed under: Atlanta Falcons, NFC South

ATLANTA -- Unlike some folks (OK, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers), they don't boast that they are the best team in the National Football Conference, which they are.

Well, during those times when the New York Giants aren't.

The Atlanta Falcons don't boast, period.

They don't even flaunt their 6-2 record, which rivals only that in their conference of the Giants. And, come to think of it, even when you include the entire NFL, just the New England Patriots, the New York Jets and the Baltimore Ravens of the AFC join the Giants with a record as splendid as that of the Falcons.

So here's the real question: Are the Falcons the best team in the whole league? The answer: They're working on it. They're doing so quietly. Plus, not that they make a big deal of it, but they're more concerned about what they think of themselves than the opinions of others when it comes to their considerable strengths and dwindling weaknesses.

They're also pleased that the big and bad Ravens are coming to town for a nationally televised game on Thursday night, but they're not doing some of those Ray Lewis' chants and dances over the significance over it all beyond it possibly adding to their victory total.

That's why, if you're among the rest of the NFL, you should be afraid. You should be afraid of the new Dirty Birds who keep flying higher and higher with a bunch of scary things.
