You are right and it's not only ESPN and NFL.com. They have done feature segments and interviews over Julio jones , freeman and Ryan on fox and cbs pre game shows

Excerpt from article

Facing an explosive Falcons offense Thursday night will be another litmus test for Ryan's defense. Even if Julio Jones isn't 100 percent, offense coordinator Kyle Shanahan has displayed his knack for scheming receivers open. Devonta Freeman should be in for a huge game against a weak rush defense. Expect the dynamic back get the ball plenty on stretch runs, which have killed the Saints this season.

Let's face it. This team is more exciting all around. You have Julio off to a tremendous start drawing a lot of attention. You have Roddy's comments from last week, and a few close wins so far this season. Combine that with the fact that our first games come against big market teams, it's no surprise that we are getting as much attention.

Just like our fans, they too needed something to hold onto. And to not be disappointed in. Those extra things that tell you our team and players will be put into a position to succeed. They wanted to see some heart and to know that from a coaching standpoint, we can scheme & adjust with the more cerebral opponents.

Just keep it up and we'll eventually win over even the harshest of critics.

NFL and ESPN have secretly always loved the Falcons, but because we suck 90% of the time and choke away big games, they've had to hide their love from the public. Once we win the Super Bowl, they'll be showing 24/7 coverage of how the Falcons are the greatest team ever and Matt Ryan is elite and the most clutch QB in history.

We have a game tonight. The only game until Sunday. All TNF teams get love at this time and especially from NFLN because they want everyone to watch. They are building a narrative. The undefeated Falcons facing the 80 percent prime time winning Brees who has only lost to the Falcons twice at home.... blah blah blah.

The only thing you have proven is that you do not pay attention to how the media works. Don't get me wrong. I like a little media love from time to time but feast up because it won't last and Heaven forbid it is an upset tonight you will not want to turn on your TV tomorrow.

The Falcons have been getting more positive coverage lately by way of praise for Dan Quinn and hype fot our two explosive players in Julio and Freeman. The Falcons are a more exciting team to watch now.

But then you see articles like USA Today's "Falcons are the most average 5-0 team ever", where the author writes:

All of that remains, but the truth remains that their 5-0 record is undoubtedly the most deceptive in the NFL. And its not as though the Falcons have won any of those games convincingly.

You'll also see that kind if rhetoric with many of the talking heads on air. It's mind boggling, really, that Atlanta is the only team getting flack for facing weak opponents yet they don't say anything about Carolina's weak schedule so far. That's where you see their agenda showing through.

Having said all that, I do think it's time people realize these guys aren't gonna change their minds and that life's too short to be losing sleep over what a bunch of jack-offs have to say about their sports team. I just wanna keep winning.
