Thoughts on ATL team building blueprint by Bucky Brooks

lol atlanta sucked ass for three years straight. then they have a good season, take advantage of a weak conference to grab the 2nd seed at 11-5, and only have to beat one team to make the NFC championship and all of a sudden they are  the fuging greatest success story since time immemorial.

now this isn't totally fair

the cowboys were the model franchise to emulate and god's gift to football a week ago.  now it's the falcons.

they were also the model franchise before the 2015 season. they fill holes! they fire people! they sign free agents! they go 4-12!

We aren't digging on you. My comment was less about all the exact articles just that before Atlanta beat Seattle and Dallas lost this whole season's discussion about how to do things was Dallas and their OL. They have still won 1 playoff game in years but they were put on the pedestal. There was also the Giants and how to build a playoff D in free agency. It's not just articles it's the talking heads and the media. If you really think they weren't all saying the same types of things about us and how Cam was a new breed of QB up until the SB loss then you are being a little naive.

It doesn't happen every year because there are teams that are there every year and it's pretty obvious that their QBs are reason #1 but there's always the new trendy team and how they're different.

This thread, and the article(s) are about team building, not about general hyping. It goes without saying that the media in general is going to hype the news, whatever it is, and the Cowboys who are always hyped.

I'll just leave it at that.

Sounds more like the Steelers than the Falcons, especially "the best WR in the NFL" part.

They're both running the ball well, and opening up the passing game with that. At this point Brown, and Jones are 1a, and 1b. When Beckham isn't being a headcase he's right there, but time will tell.

Regardless, the Falcons gave up basically an entire draft to acquire Julio, and sacrificed several seasons to get this point.

However you want to look at it, we need to assemble a legit OL this offseason no matter what. Newton will find his rhythm again, and gain back his confidence, and we've still get it Stewart, but really nothing else beyond him yet unfortunately. We've gotta sharpen up our offense all around, and put our guys in positions to succeed, and use them in ways that they excel. The offense we ran in 2016 had virtually no margin for error whatsoever. We can't enter 2017 like that.

Get rid of the injuries and the open season on Cams head and we're sitting in the playoffs. If Mack or Matthews were out for 6 plus weeks Matt Ryan would be sitting at home with poo stained underpants.

Just last year we were all talking about how soft ATL was. Now, it seems like it's reversed and we're soft. What the fug happened?

Atlanta went from missing the playoffs 3 straight years to the SB? I'm starting to honestly wonder about this year NFC competition. It wasn't that good to be honest, but still that's crazy right after us too. Its crazy them beating us last year was like their spark. That game changed both our teams. They exposed our offense and they got super confident being the 1st team to beat us
