Hoping and praying that the team slows down on the need for Matt Ryan fourth quarter comebacks.
From 2008 to 2012, the Falcons were one of the most successful NFL franchises when looking at regular season records. We all know the team struggled to win playoff games and despite their regular season successes, the team could never consistently put teams away. There was a strong tendency for the Falcons to play "down" to their opponents, often needing a fourth quarter comeback in order to seal the victory. Many fans felt that this tendency was the sign of a deeper set of issues and that the success of the team was not a true indicator of the quality of the team.
