NFL's "last" unbeaten teams have had varying results. (via Tripp Jones, TheAtlanticWire.com)
I’m not a huge fan of statistics and acknowledge that some things perceived as historical “trends” can often be misleading. But I find this interesting, especially since the Falcons (6-0) are the final remaining unbeaten team in the NFL (by virtue of their cardiac win over Oakland Sunday and Houston’s loss to Green Bay Sunday night).
According to information from FootballGeography.com – via Reddit user Tripp Jones and The Atlantic Wire — there have been 47 “last unbeaten” teams since 1970. (Note: In some seasons, there were more than one team. In 1970, for example, Denver, Detroit and the Los Angeles Rams all started 3-0 but lost their fourth game.)
Of the 47 teams since 1970, 22 have gone on to the Super Bowl — 11 winning, 11 losing. Six others made it to the conference championship before losing.
The rest of the breakdown: 11 lost in the divisional round, five lost in the wild card round and three didn’t make the playoffs.
This could be of interest to Falcons’ fans, especially since the franchise has a recent history of successful regular seasons but losing quickly in the playoffs (making the playoffs three of the past four seasons but going 0-3).
You’ll notice on the chart below that quite a few teams have started at least 6-0, like the Falcons. Most recent ones: Green Bay won its first 13 games last season, finished the regular season 15-1 and lost in the divisional playoffs; Indianapolis in 2009 started 14-0 and lost in the Super Bowl; Tennessee in 2008 started 10-0 and lost in the divisional playoffs; New England, the most famous of all, won its first 18 games (16 regular season, two postseason) in 2007, but then lost in the Super Bowl to the New York Giants.
The last “final unbeaten” team to win the Super Bowl: Indianapolis in 2006, after starting 9-0 and finishing 12-4.
Below is a chart with the fate of the year-by-year “last unbeaten” teams since 1920. Not sure what it means but it’s fun to look at.

Funny how he mentions Joe Flacco’s 300 yards in his last playoff game. Why not all of Flacco’s playoff stats?? Here you go: Joe Flacco’s DEFENSE has carried his team in the postseason. Career postseason : 9 games 1,532 passing yards (170 passing yards/game), 8 TDs, 8 INTs. Yeah, that Joe Flacco carries the Ravens, doesn’t he?

TRIVIA TIME:
Name the only starting qb that lost in the 1st round vs
3 out of 4 teams that went on to play in the superbowl over
the last 4 years?
Need a hint?
2008 vs Cardinals
2010 vs Green Bay
2011 vs Giants
Another clue?
The Giants shutout their offense, however the Giants have lost
8 out their last 9 games to the Eagles.
Anybody?

I keep telling you all it’s just a matter of time. The Falcons are not a good team. So what they lucked up and won 6 games in a row. Trust me when I say it’s good for them, but it’s just a matter of time before they revert back to their old ways of losing. Come on…the ONLY reason why they won most games is because of a lousy field goal. THAT does NOT mean it’s a good team. Let’s see what happens if they go to the playoffs. Oh yeah..I know what’s going to happen and so do the fans…they will lose their first game..Oh well. Enjoy the win while you can, because it won’t last long and you will see Gonzales on the side of the field crying like a bytch!!!

With the newest set of ESPN’s NFL Power Rankings released Tuesday, the Atlanta Falcons are perched on top of the pile. As the NFL’s lone undefeated team, they’re an easy selection. Unless you view the Falcons the way we do at Football Outsiders.
Our newest set of DVOA rankings will be published Tuesday afternoon, and they’re going to have the Falcons way down in eighth place. This is a very good team, but a flawed one, and even in victory they’ve shown too many weaknesses to be considered the best team in the league.
The Football Outsiders rankings aren’t based on opinion polls — they’re based on DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average), a proprietary system that evaluates every play of the NFL season one at a time and adjusts for down, distance, score, quality of opposition and other factors. There is no vote, there is no debate, only the results of a mathematical formula. And that formula sees plenty of black marks on Atlanta’s résumé.

I wonder if MV7 has applied for a job at one of the local grocery stores in Philly. Seeing as how he’s about to lose his current job to a rookie picked in the 3rd round and all……

@9:22 am Try posting your opinion of MV7 aka “ConVICK-ted” on Dled’s blogs —- The filter will pop you out….. Ole Dled doesn’t like anything negative about his buddy “Ole Coach Killer” postefd on his blog… Anyways i agree with your opinion totally…. This week and next will be the blog BS will be flying for sure….. I think with the current turmoil in Philly coaching staff, Reid is for sure on the “HOT” seat and when the Falcons come to town we’ll see a “Eaglettes” roast!!!!!!! Then the Philly Inquirer —- HeadLines will be “Coach Killer” in action when he/MV7 fumbles at least 3 times & 3 Ints, it’s the cooooaches fault not me, they call the plays……. I hear MV7 now “But cooooach i’m tryin’ my best, I jus keep getting HIT play after play” they killin’ me —- Please help me cooooach…..
Go Falcons —- Eaglettes next

@True
Totally agree. I’m STILL scratching my head at the decision to fire the DC, when it was the defense that has actually had to overcome all the turnovers to keep them in the game. A 3-3 team that’s 4 points from being 1-5, all because MV7 just lacks the mental capacity to know how to protect the football.
Another coach down and out. This one having spent 18 years with the franchise. Wow.

@CHOKE —-
Folks any idiot out there could twist words/facts & research win/lose records over this past 6 weeks and easily come up with some negative percentages to show the Falcons aren’t worthy of their 6-0 record thus far.
So here ya go “CHOKE BABY” — you must be a little “mille mouth drip” that continually got your a$$ kicked all the way thru your life. Cause you have nothing better to do, but vomit ideological opinions on the Falcons/Ajc blogs. Firstly, the collective win/lose for 2011 record of the past six Falcons opponents was is 42-54, that stat is most important…. The next six opponents for this season schedule. .. Their 2011 record starting with Philly & ending with Nawlins collectively = 56-40, again these are 2011 win/lose for same period — Also these next six opponents collectively their record so far for this 2012 season is = 13-19 —– So you fricking moronic nut bag, I will be very curious to hear your vomit opinions and twisted BS in six weeks come 12/9/12, so keep it coming “NUT BAG” — by the you & “ZERO” have a lot in common…. You sir are an idiot!

Now is definitely where the schedule takes a turn for the worse. After the bye we go to Philly where Andy Reid is coaching for his job. We NEVER win in Philly. So that will be our first loss. Next we get Dallas which could also be Garrett’s last stand. I think we win that one though. Then the Saints which is always close and could go either way (probably home teams will win each). I don’t see us losing to Carolina or TB but depending on which Giants team shows up, we could squeak out a win or get totally embarrassed.

FAMILY FEUD
Welcome to the feud.
On this side we have the Blank family
On the other side we have the CHOKE family
Host: We asked 100 people to name the top 5 things
Matt “CHOKE” Ryan will never do. The top 5 answers are:
Blank Family:
1. Win a playoff game
2. Pass for 200 yards in a playoff game
3. Score another point in a playoff game
4. Be selected to 4 pro bowls.
5. Beat an elite team.
Host: That is correct!
Thanks for playing the feud.
HA HA

Hey choke how many superbowl wins dose Joe Flacco have? How about Jim Harbaugh? Last I checked if you do not win the last game that makes you a looser so every year in every sport all teams are loosers except one. Touting playoff wins is for pussies, unless you win the last game you did not win anything. You are such a pussy!

Ryan is a good qb who has not won the big game but he is only in his 5th year, it took Manning until his 9th year, Elway even longer.

Only losers come on message boards and start talking about playoff wins. Trent Dillfer won a superbowl Dan Marino did not.

Hey Choke, Vick hasn’t played here in six years so move on for your own mental health.. Stop obsessing over race and enjoy the game.

I guess by logic here that Dan Marino and Dan Fouts can’t hold Brad Johnson’s or Trent Dilfer’s jock strap.
