re: Are the Falcons really that good?

That penalty devils advocate argument doesn't really apply to the Saints this season. The Saints in the Chiefs game were flat out robbed of points and huge chunks of yards by the Officials. The "holding" call in the Packers game as well. As many favorable calls as we have received, and yes we have received quite a few, the Saints have also been on the shitty end of the stick for plenty of calls. Call it what you will, but they have evened each other out.
