The Falcons' foibles are beyond documented at this point, as the franchise's futility reached meme status with last February's Super Bowl LI collapse.
This season wasn't much better.
Betting on the dirty birds this year has also been an exercise in frustration, hence they find themselves taking to the road for a Wild Card match with a potent Rams side, now reestablished in LA.
Atlanta did impose its will to finish the season strong against Carolina, but as usual they looked really dark and heelish, most notably while delivering a blatant helmet-to-helmet on Greg Olsen.
As easy as it is to desert the old dogs led by Matt Ryan after missing their chance in 2017, forgive me for going down with the ship once again.
In the Falcons, I see a hated juggernaut, ready to reassert its unstoppability in a second straight postseason.
