One troubling thing that has come to my attention since the Brees news broke is this...

Over the years, we could always depend on the NFCS teams to beat up on each other. We all would usually split a few games. Now that the Saints might be in full meltdown mode, we can't depend on them, or the Bucs, to beat up the Falcons at all. And if you look at the Falcons schedule- you will see a ton of very-winnable games for them and not a lot of possible losses.

Next week they play @ the Romo-less and Dez-less Cowboys. Followed by home games against the Texans and Redskins = 2 very winnable games for them. Then they have a cake-walk of a stretch against the @ Saints, @ Titans, Bucs and @ 49ers. They then have their Bye week. Coming out of their rest week, they get the Colts and Vikings at Home. Finishing it up @ Bucs, @ Panthers, @ Jags, Panthers and Saints.

When you look at possible losses for them- both of our games jump out as well as the Colts. Other than that, all their opponents are very flawed and vulnerable. We will need to be on our A-game when it comes to those 2 Falcons games.

I know we shouldn't draw any conclusions only after week 2, but I can't help but look forward and see the marshmallow of a schedule they have in front of them....

You're looking too far ahead some of those teams will get better and the Falcants won't continue to stay healthy all year. Their depth sucks, plus everyone is acting like Julio will suddenly stay healthy forever just because he got paid. Bracket him and cover Roddy and don't worry about Falcants running game Coleman will be out a couple weeks with fractured rib. I have faith Dallas will matchup well and beat Falcants

To be fair, the Falcons should be at the very best 1-1. The Giants blew it. 

 

Their running game is really, really bad. They're one injury on the DLine away from not being able to rush the passer, and of course, no matter how "bad" a division is, teams play each other hard as hell in the division.

If we win the games we should win, we'll be fine regardless of ATL.  Even if we're a wildcard at 11-5 because they go 13-3, I'll take it.

This and frankly given our abysmal record after a bye under Rivera, I don't even want a 1st round bye. Keep the momentum going and take chances on having to win three straight instead of 2 coming off a bye

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.

      there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.
