The media is dramatic when it comes to the Atlanta Falcons and how bad they are

We have gone over it before, the Atlanta Falcons are not well liked when it comes to the media, and while it might make sense as to why, it does not mean it is true.

It is because of all the losses they have sustained ever since Arthur Smith and Terry Fontenot took over in 2021.

After all, when you lose two icons like Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, people will tend to think that your team is substantially worse, and while they might be a little worse than before, they are not quite as bad as people are making them out to be.

The media likes to ignore the fact that they added a lot of talent and a lot of promising players who could turn this team around. Will this team make the playoffs this year? Hopefully, but looking at the schedule it seems unlikely if we are being realistic.

No one should be calling this team the worst in the league. There are numerous teams that are in a lot worse of a position than Atlanta is, but how many?

Well, take a look by going through this NFL power ranking starting from the bottom of the league and working our way up to the best of the best.
