We could go 12-4 and still not win the division. Look at these easy ass schedules y'all

Guys we just got owned by Luke McCown.  Luke is out still, who knows how long.  CJ is out, who knows how long.   I hope we'll be fine, and we may, but let's take it easy a bit.

I see them losing to us twice, drop one vs the saints, and losing to the vikings, colts, and a random team (possibly titans). I see them at best 10-6.

Atlanta is very healthy right now. It won't stay that way, and if the wrong player(s) go down the Falcons will fall apart.

[Silent Majority]

Oh noes! That magic 8-ball's working overtime I see.

[SOJA]

why is everyone all of a sudden so concerned with Atlanta. literally nothing has changed for me on them since the draft. They were always going to be better by getting rid of Mike Smith who single handedly cost them games last year. They had a ton of injuries last season, and had a great draft. They were always going to be our competition for the division. We don't see them till December, certainly not going to worry about them till then.

They've honestly escaped being 0-3 by a fuging ass hair.  Sure, they've got a ridiculously easy schedule, but they're not going to win all of them.  Their 3 wins are honestly more about how the Eagles, Giants, and Cowboys absolutely choked away what should have been wins.

We're not great or anything, but neither are they.

Yep, they've trailed in the fourth quarter in every game this season.

waaay too early to be counting games in November and December

[Diehardpanther02]

Julio Jones is looking scary, if Norman can shut down Julio we can win but the Julio this year is puttin in work.  He is our biggest obstacle against them but the good news is we play them late in the year when we are at our best.  Luke will be back by then so that will be a plus too, as their underneath game wont work.

We're 3-0 and there are only 3 or 4 games the rest of the way we'd be underdogs at right now: @Seattle, vs. Green Bay, @Atlanta, maybe @Dallas depending on Romo. But the Falcons have an easier record. They only have TWO opponents left on their schedule with winning records: Minnesota and two games against YOUR Carolina Panthers. The Falcons might have a historically easy schedule and are going to rack up serious win totals. If we split with the Falcons, we might be looking at 12-4 and the Falcons might be looking at 12-4 or 13-3. It would be inexcusable if we don't go 4-0, but it would honestly be inexcusable if the Falcons don't start 9-0. They're 3-0 and their next 6 are Houston and Washington at home, New Orleans and Tennessee on the road, Tampa Bay at home, San Francisco on the road. Ho. Lee. Sheet.

in the next three weeks, Atlanta plays a stout Texans defense that could be complimented by the return of Arian Foster, a stingy, desperate Washington team that could surprise, and a Saints team in the Superdome that could still be fighting for their first win. Then they play the upstart Titans in Nashville, the Colts who will abuse their defense, the Vikings who have seem to have a stingy defense, Us twice, and between us, the Jaguars, who aside from yesterday have been playing very tough football. thats 9 potential losses for them. No, these teams arent very good. but who has atlanta played?

the 1-2 crappy Eagles team that cant stop a nosebleed, the 2-1 Dallas Cowboys without their star QB and WR, and the middling Giants. each game they have played like sh!t until the 4th quarter and even then, the other teams have shot themselves in the feet. 

Atlanta doesnt scare me with their 3-0 record yet. lets talk again in 3 weeks.

I don't understand the comments about their schedule being easy.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

look at the rest of the NFC, even if we don't win the division a wildcard spot is there for the taking

I did say we had an easy schedule, but those 2 different games are: we play at Seattle and home vs. Green Bay, they play at the sorry 49ers and home vs. the Vikings.
