contrary to popular believe, i think this defense is better than advertised. We've needed a big body in the middle so that Beason and Davis can roam around, thats the key, and they never had it. not one game this season. So now we have something to build on, everyone wants to talk about how the pass D is only good because the run D sucks, well Clinton Portis is a 1400 yard rusher, we held him to 55 yards. we are getting better on that side of the ball. im just worried about the offense.

Falcons and New Orleans are peaking right now. It remains to be seen if they can continue at this level all year.

Last year at this time Dallas was 4-1, Buffalo was 4-1, New England was 3-1, and Denver was 4-1. None of those teams made the playoffs. So don't go booking your tickets yet, there's a lot of football left to be played.

Your right there is alot of football left to play but 3 of those 4 teams you mentioned are in the AFC, a much tougher league then the NFC. The Giants, Saints, Falcons, 49ers, Vikings and Eagles will all be in the playoffs, the other NFC teams that are even close their records are just pretenders

I'd rather be struggling now and finding mistakes in our team that we can work on week to week and helping us becoming a complete team then blowing out teams early in the year and not being able to see where your weaknesses are and having them get exposed later in the year with little time to fix them..

The Falcons and the Saints are good teams now, but to be great they are going to have to find what they did wrong when it seems they are doing everything right..

The Falcons beat the Panthers by just eight and lost at New England. The Saints have played two relatively close games in recent weeks. Both, though, have shown the capacity to blow teams out with their offenses.

      Ticket Prices

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
