Well, it seems the Falcons have already shown improvement following their bye week. The latest espn.com power rankings have the Falcons up one notch to number 14 this week, in front of - and thanks to - the suddenly suspicious Cowboys: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/powerranking?season=2008&week=8
Curiously enough, of the 4 teams the Falcons have defeated this week, the Bears and the Packers are each ranked higher than the Falcons. Of course, this is the NFL and "Any Given Sunday" is the mantra in this league, which must be what has convinced the writers at espn that the Falcons are not at least as good as these teams. Ultimately, this ranking shows the opinion of most of the writers that the Falcons are still a middle-tier team and not a playoff contender. I can only assume that a win over Philly this weekend will change that stance.
