While Detroit, St. Louis and some other members of the NFL’s 2007 bottom tier continue to struggle, the Atlanta Falcons have started off nicely.

Things could change Sunday when they go to Carolina.

The Falcons have won two of their first three games behind rookie QB Matt Ryan, free agent RB Michael Turner and veteran DE John Abraham, who leads the NFL in sacks with six. If he somehow continued at that two sacks a game pace, he’d end up with 32, almost 10 better than Michael Strahan’s single-season record of 22 1/2 .

wow, that title is cruel .......... the falcons are at least winning some games, which is more than I thought they would do ............. I don't think anyone is predicting a Super Bowl appearance for this team but if they can hang tough this year and gain some confidence, it may bode well for them in the future.

They've definitely over achieved in what many thought they would do in three games. They are a young team led by a rookie QB though. One that I'm really liking thus far though. They'll be a volatile team all season long.

Good team? Carolina isn't good, only decent
