Check out this stat: (something reasonably close)
Teams that have won a divisional playoff by 7 points or more the week before, an easy game, and have missed the playoffs the year before, and go to play on the road in the conference championship game are 2-26.
In other words:
Atlanta missed the playoffs in 2003 (last year)
Atlanta won by more than 7, huge game.
Atlanta has gone further than anyone expected, played in the playoffs and won a huge game.
Atlanta's season is a success and has been validated.
Philly's hasn't.
It's an interesting stat.
