"This most consistent thing about this Falcons team is that you can count on them to always be inconsistent. Following one of the most impressive wins you can get on Monday Night Football against the Buffalo Bills, their mistake-riddled performance against the completely banged up San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football saw them drop a highly winnable game. In a vacuum, the 3-3 record doesn't look too bad,"
"The vibe shift would be prevalent, as a win would help erase some of those bad feelings from San Francisco, and it would be needed as the next two games on the schedule look a lot tougher now than they were on paper coming into the season - at the 5-2 New England Patriots and against the 6-1 Indianapolis Colts in Germany."
The Falcons have alternated impressive victories with frustratingly avoidable losses, producing a 3-3 record that conceals deeper problems. Recent inconsistency included a dominant Monday Night win over Buffalo followed by a mistake-filled loss to an injured San Francisco team. A win over the struggling Dolphins would lift the team above .500 for a third straight season and provide much-needed momentum before tougher matchups against New England and Indianapolis. A loss would drop the team to 3-4, damage team psyche, and allow division rivals to pull further ahead in a competitive NFC race.
