The best team Atlanta plays this year is Carolina

I was just looking at Atlanta's schedule for the rest of the year.  The Panthers started out with a cupcake schedule, but man, Atlanta's entire season is a cakewalk.  Easily the most difficult games will come against the Panthers.  Going to be a tough road to a third division championship.

Starting in late November they get two teams that could pose a threat to them in the Colts and Vikings and then two cupcakes that could sneak up on them right after that if they look ahead to our two contests. But man oh man, that might be the easiest schedule in history.

Why dont they play the seahawks??

For real? Anyone care to explain how that works? Why do we play them every year, but not Atlanta. I have no idea how NFL scheduling works. That is the most pansy schedule I have ever seen. But all that means is when they face a good team like us they should get thumped. Especially in the playoffs

they schedule your conference divisional opponents based on their previous rankings. Since we won our division we have to play the other nfc division winners besides our other scheduled games. The falcons play the second place teams, the saints the third and the bucs play the 4th.

 

It's supposed to be a competitive balancing policy.

Stop worrying about the Falcons. By the time we play them twice in Dec Matty Ice's noodle arm will be throwing up water balloons to Norman and Co.

WE are back to back Division Champs! It's time y'all started acting like u know that. If they want the crown, they have to take it from us, not the other way around!

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
