If we are using trends of past years as evidence of future production, this is undeniable trend that points to the demise of the Falcons in 2013:

NFC South division winners since realignment:

2002 Tampa Bay
2003 Carolina
2004 Atlanta
2005 Carolina
2006 New Orleans
2007 Tampa Bay
2008 Carolina
2009 New Orleans
2010 Atlanta
2011 New Orleans
2012 Atlanta

Not one single back-to-back winner...
...and that includes a 2009 Saints team that actually won a Super Bowl and was projected to re-win the South in 2010 after adding to their championship roster with free agents & rookies.

Steven Jackson has 2,395 career rushing attempts. That puts him 25th all time and the leader among active RB's by over 400 attempts. Sometimes it's not the years...its the mileage.

yeah, for a while there I think the team that finished last ended up winning the division the next year.

obviously not the last few years as it has turned into a back and forth with New Orleans and Atlanta. I still feel like the NFC South is one of the toughest divisions in football. Ever since the realignment I think the NFC South has a case for being the toughest.
