Are the Atlanta Falcons finally starting that great dynasty they've been looking for all of these years?

I like your optimism. However, I am going to respectfully disagree. I think what the Falcons have done is a tremendous turn around from the early and mid 2000's especially after Michael Vick. Getting a new head coach was definitely a great start, and having a disciplined coach is indeed a plus. I do like what Matt Ryan has done since he started, and I like what Michael Turner has been able to add in addition to Roddy White playing at the MVP level. But despite all of that, I just don't know that the Falcons are ready to take it all of the way to the super bowl. The Falcons have improved, and yes they do look like they can contend in the playoffs. But realistically there are other teams that look better in all phases. The Eagles seem to be playing very well right now on both offense and defense. Also note, the Saints are playing as if they weren't in the super bowl last season. The Falcons have talent, and yes they have made changes in personnel and players. But to be a true "dynasty" and champion then there must be some sort of dominance. Sure the Falcons are winning games, but I want to see if they can beat the tough teams. Can the Falcons beat the Eagles if they both get to the NFC championship game? The Falcons barely beat the Saints by three points and they lost to the Eagles 31-17. Sorry to say but I disagree with you. They are talented and yes they can win games, but they must win in the playoffs and beat the elite teams.
