Full disclosure, I never expected the Atlanta Falcons to get this far this season. One look at the roster before year stared and I thought, “Looks good on paper but…”. Many of us underestimated the free agency moves, draft class, and training that Atlanta made happen before the season. Remember the voluntary passing camp that Matt Ryan organized? How about the Falcons training with Navy SEALs? Both were undoubted contributors to the success of the 2016 team, a success that has exceeded our wildest expectations.
I remember looking at the Atlanta Falcons schedule before the season.
