That in no way shape or form means that ATL cannot win the division

I don’t think she is saying that it does. But no prime time games implies that the NFL schedule makers don’t think the Falcons will be good or enough of a draw to put them in prime time. Which conflicts with the opinions of some who think the Falcons are somehow loaded with talent and will compete for the division.

Not sure I agree. If the Falcons are good this year it’s because they will do really well running the ball. That means they will be a boring game. We have Bryce Young who most people outside of Charlotte thinks is a midget and he was the #1 pick. I think way more people are interested in watching him succeed or fail whether or not they think we are better than the Falcons.

Eh, that’s an opinion. I dunno that the schedule makers micro analyze it to that level. They seem to usually base it on who will be good teams.

And/or good stories like #1 overall QB, or superstars on new teams like the Jets

 Vegas has the Falcons as the team they think bettors think will be the better team. There’s a difference. 

I mean sure, but it still gets to the same point.  And Vegas is more about money in the short term whereas the nfl is more about ratings short term.  Money long term. 

 

But the overall point is the south is still going to suck and its pretty much anyones division.  You could legit make a case for all 4 teams.

 

NO - Carr plays with a chip on his shoulder and the pretty good NO roster doesnt show its age just yet

ATL = Ridder is competent and their run game is on steroids and their defense and new signings gel.  A lot like the Titan teams Smith came from

CAR - Young balls out from the jump and our defense makes a leap with the new staff

TB - Still a pretty good roster and maybe baker reverts back to 2019 form

 

There is no clear head and shoulders team in the south.  I see a bunch of 7,8,9 win teams all bundled up

Being a draw for ratings and being a team that could win the division are completely different things

 

If you dont look at the falcons roster and see some talented pieces then I am not sure what to tell you.


They have a well above average oline, a great running game and three highly drafted offensive pieces.  If their defense and new additions gel they will be a problem

This is generally a QB driven league. As your QB goes so generally goes your team. The smart money in the NFC South would be on the Saints or us. 30 years ago the Falcons might have been able to ride a great rookie RB and a much improved D to a division title. In today's NFL? Honestly I just don't see it.

So who are you picking? Derek Carr or a rookie Bryce Young?

Sure, I don’t disagree with that overall, though I do think tb and atl are clearly inferior teams to us and no. I see us and no as 7-10 win teams, atl and tb as 5-8. There’s overlap and anything is possible, this division definitely has no clear powerhouse, but the outlook for the red teams is grim while the saints are pointed down but still have a decent qb and talent on the rest of the roster. Just getting old.

The titans were literally just the #1 seed by having a competent qb and brutal run game.  Thats the model it appears that smith wants to build.  So it still can be down in the modern nfl

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
