So...the Falcons have the number 1 offense in the league.

[Saca312]

So an offense led by Matt Ryan is currently number 1, according to the failcon's boards and foxsports.

However, an NFC South team is No. 1 in the NFL. And it's led by Matt Ryan.

"And is led by Matt Ryan"

"And is led by MATT RYAN"

"MATT FUGGIN RYAN"

This poo stain of a QB is number 1 currently in the league in QBR, and leading the current NFL's "most dangerous offense."

So naturally, the falcons board is ecstatic about this

It's completely unrealistic expectations to think our offense can put up these kind of gaudy numbers against the best defenses in the NFL as no offense can, but the fact we are putting them up now with 2 road games and 1 home game played is testament to the fact our offense is very dangerous.

No one thought we were going to even beat Oakland, yet our offense on the road in Oalkland and now in hostile New Orleans put up staggering numbers.....truly a good sign.

The offense is so balanced now.  How does an opposing D even game plan for Atlanta now?  

Now goodness me, the mighty Falcons have risen from the trenches and have the league's most complete and dangerous offense. I mean Julio Jones and Matt Ryan amirite? There's no offense better than this, and no defense could possibly game-plan for the most potent offense in the league. Heck, even Falcon fans are calling Carolina "pretenders" and "a walk in the park" for next weeks game, focusing on the ever-so frightening Seahawks and Wilson's superior scrambling ability, and Denver (Alright, I give them a pass on Denver. Heck, Matt Ryan might lose his head that game.) Their team is a juggernaut in the NFC South, and there's no way anyone could beat them.

 

...Right?

 

Now, let me present a few points to note that should grab your attention.

1.  They played against the Bucs, Oakland, and Saints

They have proven they can perform against trash defenses this year so far. I mean if you have Julio Jones and decent WRs and backs, you better hope your offense does decently against them. I mean heck, if Cam went against these defenses, we'd probably be talking about unanimous MVP right now. Now, let's get some stats here to back up my point.

-Alright, the Buccaneers are near the middle bottom of the pack, allowing 370 TYPG. I mean they have a decent defense. But...the Falcons lost this one. They were only able to hang up 24 points. But the offense had a good game, getting 300+ yards from Matt Ryan's arm. It's just Tampa got the better of them after all. The Falcon's defense isn't exactly stellar, so it's only expected Jameis Winston would eat up their defense who can't contain mobile QBs apparently. So, sure they didn't win, but their offense is a juggernaut against this middle of the pack defense, amirite?

-Oakland Raiders is DEAD LAST in the league on total yards per game. You heard that right, DEAD LAST. 32nd in the league, allowing an average 476.0 total yards per game. This Oakland preseason hyped up defense has allowed about 476 total yards per game. They just aren't the juggernaut they were projected to be, and the stats prove it. This proves that there should be some questions coming into how the Falcons are "number 1" in the league with their offense. They have proven nothing, but I'm betting there are still skeptics out there, so...

-The Saints is not too far behind the Raiders. In fact, they are SECOND TO DEAD LAST in total yards per game. 31st in the league, allowing an average of 448.3 yards per game. Now, for you poo-headed skeptics out there, let's put this in perspective. The Carolina's supposedly "weak" defense (as dubbed by many wolf crying huddlers) is 3rd in the league in the fewest TYPG, allowing 273.3 on average. This Saints defense has allowed nearly more than 1.5x that amount! This yet again proves how dubbing the Falcons as "#1" in the league is flawed. They've proven nothing. Well hey, at least the Saints aren't exactly dead last in the league. Yet.

So effectively, one could conclude the Falcons have proven nothing. Which leads to my next point...

2. They play Carolina, Seattle, then Denver in that Order

Welp. Seattle is 1st in fewest TYPG by opposing offenses, Carolina is 3rd, and Denver is 7th. Granted, Seattle hasn't really played against any offense worth calling decent, and Denver has faced Carolina hanging 20 on them, and other decent offenses hanging 20+ points on them. But these defenses are the real deal. The Falcons would have to prove they can overcome these obstacles to even consider them in contention for the best offense in the NFL. Seattle's just hard and strong, Panthers are stout and solid, with the best LB corps in the league by miles, and Denver...well, they're dirty and strong. Atlanta will have to prove they can get a decent offense rolling against these teams after the cupcake schedule they had for their 1st 3 games. Can they do it? Well, which leads me to my next point.

3. Matt Ryan's their QB

I'll leave this gif to explain:

 

So basically, the Falcons are overrated, the Panthers will win this Sunday.

Falcons fans have been delusional for a very long time. When I lived there, they would swear every year that it was their year and they were Super Bowl bound. If Carolina is a pretender, what do you call the Falcons? LOL.

How's that defense tho? 

The Panthers are pissed, or better be.

You guys can talk poo but my fantasy team is loaded and largly in part by Matt Ryan

 

I lead my 14 team league. Scored 40 points more than the 2nd highest scorer (points for, theough 3 weeks)..my team is nasty, that that was without Gronk. 

[pstall]

The only way we win this game is if i stack the Falcons in Fanduel.

Ryan has been matchup driven to date.  So prepare for a very average fantasy QB to be leading your team in the near future.
