Maybe this should be called the disappointment of the season. At the beginning of the season, some experts had the Falcons on their way to the Super Bowl.
Not so fast. With Doug Johnson at the helm, the Falcons have fallen to 1-4, hitting their lowpoint this week when they were mauled on both sides of the ball by a St. Louis team that is marginal at best.
This team looks nothing like the 9-6-1 team last year that beat the Packers at home during the playoffs for the first time in history. And with quarterback Mike Vick still expected to miss another two to three weeks, things look dismal.
But, like he said this Monday night, he’s not Superman.
