Why do people say the Atlanta Falcons are overrated?

They say it because it is wishful thinking. When people say that about a team, it means one of two things. They either are overrated or they can't find anything else bad to say about them so they use the excuse. With the Falcons it is the latter...its just the biased haters so ignore them and they will go away. They always eventually do shut up because they hardly ever have guts enough to admit being wrong. When the Falcons continue to win they will continue to get quieter.
