Sportswriters are trash talking Atlanta now!!!

Look. The league wants big offensive numbers and star QBs. Sports writers, like John Clayton for example, need more big time players so they can write about them.

Clayton and his brethren at ESPN have done everything possible to convince us that Matt Ryan is elite.

Some times you just have to watch the game, which, clearly, many of these tools do not do.

I agree with you 100%. I'm just saying, read what I said above, about media people "understanding" an advertising campaign, getting the signal on it, like the "Rise Above" media blitz was designed to do. It was selling the media to buy into it as well as the public. The dollars don't have to be going directly into the sports writers' own pocket, that doesn't matter - they are intelligent enough to know it when they see it. And now the media people who got played by the advertising campaign, to sell the Falcons as elite, they are starting to realize that it makes them look bad, and we are watching them jump off the bandwagon.
