100% false. Falcons have almost every starter back and the Falcons offense will be better in year 2 under Sark. 

The Falcons will be the bitch of the South. I seriously doubt they can even beat the Bucs. 6-10 at best.

I understand we are still in preseason.  However, trends are set by the starters.  ATL starters haven't even tackled well.  ATL's defense will be their demise.  Saints and Panthers will battle for the number one spot.  It's a toss up at this point.  As a Saints fan I hate to admit it, but the Panthers play us tougher than any other team.

Huh? Falcons defense has looked extremely good this preseason even without Deion Jones. Plus the Falcons had a top 10 defense last year for the first time since 1998... I expect the Falcons defense will be even better this year barring major injuries.

I do and it will happen. The Falcons are not even as good as last year with a weak schedule. We are sweeping you guys this year and NO is definitely Sweeping you. I'm sorry I know this is hard to hear but you're a afterthought in this division. Going to be 0-3 to start the year son.

We have reloaded this year as well. Can't argue that. Our offense is stacked.

2017 Strength of Schedule

(Team, record, opponent winning percentage)

1. Bears, 5-11 (.559): Fired their coach
2. Buccaneers, 5-11 (.555)
T-3. Dolphins, 6-10 (.543)
T-3. Falcons, 10-6 (.543): Made playoffs
T-5. Panthers, 11-5 (.539): Made playoffs
T-5. Packers, 7-9 (.539)
T-5. Redskins, 7-9 (.539)
8. Saints, 11-5 (.536): Made playoffs
9. Giants, 3-13 (.531): Fired their coach
T-10. Jets, 5-11 (.520)
T-10. Browns, 0-16 (.520)

Every NFC South team was in the top 10 hardest schedules last year.

And the Falcons are 9-3 vs the South in the last 2 years...they bring back 21 of 22 starters but them getting swept by the Saints, Panthers and probably the Bucs according to you seems totally realistic.

Both us and the Saints are going to run up and through your defense. Sorry you are just not good enough.

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
