In 2012, the Falcons gave up less than 300 points (top 10 scoring defense with John Abraham, Sean Weatherspoon, Brent Grimes, etc)...last year, they gave up almost 450.

There's the difference in wins and losses..that's giving up almost 10 more points per game.

Expecting Matt Ryan to overcome that while losing almost every piece on the offense isn't realistic.

I think he did rally well with what he had to work with.
I am just pointing to the idea that while some teams are okay with winning games in shootouts where the QB has to attack at all points in the game, many teams are better suited for a game manager philosophy. And it takes a special type of QB to do that well.

Matt Ryan, like Eli Manning and Big Ben, proved that they are at their best when they have a true running game. And I think it's an absolute joke that even though running back is one of the easiest positions to fill, those three teams have been completely inept at bringing even one guy worth a damn. The lack of a running game forced Ryan to win games by himself.
