You think our running game will be better than the Falcons who not only have Bijan and Patterson but who are returning a 1,000 yard rusher from 2022? Not to mention Pitts and Drake London. 

If the Falcons only score 10 points then we are in for a whale of a season and you better put money on the over for our win total in Vegas.

I think we score between 14 and 24 points but there is no way we hold them to 10, especially if Burns is out.

I think you miss the point of the thread. 

To counter your argued.  

I'll take our oline over theirs.  All of our running g backs can run behind this line.  

I'll take our defense over theirs.

They have an established system. 

If our run games comes to play, and execute,  every team will struggle against us. 

Believe.

This is actually good for them. Maybe someone steps up out of the group.

You need to add Hurst to that equation.....

From what I saw of Mingo in the pre-season, I'm pretty confident for him to go 6 catches for 70-80 yards.  He'll likely do more damage over the middle where Atlanta is weak.  If Terell will be on one of the X or Y receivers we still have access to the other side of the field and the middle.

If you have a solid TE (Hurst), well above average RB (Sanders), and a mid/dependable WR on the other side covered by a collection of JAG's, I'm not too worried about our offense.  Our line needs to hold Grady Jarret in check.  I am not scared of a 38 year old DE, a nobody DE, and the ghost of Bud Dupree.

Their coverage at CB and nickel outside of Terell is trash.  Jessie Bates is a very good safety, but I don't see his as a game changer without other working parts around him.

Our biggest concern should be; can we stop the run enough so Atlanta doesn't have total control of the clock.  If we can avoid 3rd and short or large chunk runs at inopportune times, we should be good.  If we can keep the TOP even(ish) and score at least 21 pts I see us coming up with a W.

Maybe I am wrong but didn't Atlanta finish last in our division last year?  While I agree every team can improve through the draft and free agency.  We also improved.

We addressed our most glaring need at QB.  Considering we had an idiot running the team for 1/2 the season and we still won 7 games with QBs like Walker and Darnold.   We have an Offensive Minded Head Coach, a great DC and we have solid players.  Depth is a little issue but we have a good team.

I predict that our true defense shows up on Sunday and our fan base blows up at how good they truly are.  

Bryce Young and Mingo turn into this years Burrow/Chase tandem.  

I think we go into Atlanta and Thump them good.  27-7 Black Cats.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
