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.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By cranky · Posted

      First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????

      Give Legette another season?

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By cranky · Posted

      Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
