The Atlanta Falcons need Matt Ryan to step up

The Falcons made moves in the off-season to add even more firepower to the offense, but they have been stuck in reverse.  Most of the reason for the lack of offense this year falls on the shoulders of 26-year old QB Matt Ryan.  Ryan has played in all five games for the Falcons so far this year and he has completed 120 of 196 passes (61.2%) for 1,302 yards with 7 TD passes and 6 interceptions (79.9 QB Rating).  Ryan has also carried the ball 12 times for 53 yards (4.4 ypc) so far this year.  The Falcons can’t get back on track until Ryan starts to play like he can.
