At a certain point, talking about how good the Atlanta Falcons could be will get a little exhausting. But after a lackluster preseason showing, there's no other way of putting it.
Again, the Falcons failed to soar to the heights everyone thought they were capable of. Atlanta went 0-3 straight up, albeit with an against-the-spread win in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Predictably, the NFC South frontrunners left most of their starters off the field throughout the preseason, protecting their health for the start of the regular season. Still, that doesn't excuse getting shut out against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the final preseason tune-up.
There is no margin for error as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Kansas City Chiefs to open the year.
