With 103 days still remaining before we get Atlanta Falcons football that actually counts, we are right in the wheelhouse of the NFL’s “dead zone”.

One positive is the Falcons have OTAs throughout the month of June beginning today and again on Thursday and Friday. They finish up June 8-11 and June 15-18.

It’s not much but any football is still football. With that in mind, I thought it would be a good time to get caught up on some of the great Falcons’ content being produced out there.

His criteria:

To create our misery rankings, we compiled the number of postseason appearances by a city’s teams and compared them to the number of titles won. Those cities that combine a lot of playoff losses and few championships score highest (final round losses, such as a Super Bowl or World Series, are given the most weight, followed by semifinal round losses, and so on).
