Ahhhhhhh... welcome back football season. There's just something wonderful about opening the season in a division rival's house and embarrassing them, don't you think?

Some things to note:

• The Falcons have never had back-to-back winning seasons.
• Of those winning seasons, they all have come on even years (1980, 1992, 1998, 2002, 2004). Looks like we need to get ready to write 2006 down on this list too.

J-Dub, whatcha got for me now, playboy???
