Damn Falcons look tough

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.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
