ATLANTA -- They couldn't put anything worse on the Falcons' tombstone for the 2010 season. It will hurt when the word is etched into stone and then burned into their resume by some people. It will absolutely be painful to hear."Overrated."
You know it's coming. The Falcons came into the NFC playoff game with the Packers here Saturday night with a 13-3 record, but dragging a ball-and-chain called doubt. They won so many close games that they lacked the look of a dominant team and it was held against them.
Then they went out and got hammered by the Packers, 48-21.
But overrated is too easy an explanation and a pretty nasty thing to say to a team that beat four playoff teams in the regular season: Green Bay, New Orleans, Seattle, and Baltimore.
"13-3, you can't take that away from us," said linebacker Mike Peterson. "We earned that 13-3. We accomplished a lot of things; we've got a lot of things to be proud of."
