MikeR Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) I just read, on ESPN, a comment posted in the conversation section of a story that the Falcons "have had more winning seasons than any other team in the NFL. I know it's just a "fan" comment, but is this true? I didn't really feel like poring through all the years of all the times to verify so I was figuring maybe someone already knows if this is so or not.

MikeR Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yeah, I did decide to just compare Atlanta to New England and the Patriots have about 20 winning seasons while the Falcons have 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATL hasn't really been that successful until recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruinah Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Just a quick look at season records:Atlanta Falcons: 15 (.500 x3) since '66New Orleans Saints: 11 (.500 x7) since '67New England Patriots: 30 (.500 x2) since '60Not going to bother going down the entire list of NFL teams, but we're clearly no where near the lead for most winning seasons.
