With the Atlanta Falcons starting 1-4, it has become routine to hang on every week and say “this is the week we turn it around” or “this week we will see the team that we know they are”. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, even when the Falcons beat the Cardinals on Sunday, this team still will not be the team we thought they would be.
Matt Ryan has poured everything he has had into this franchise for the last 12 years. He has played injured, he has played hurt, and he has led the Falcons on the field for all but two games in his entire career.
