Did we really go 12-4 last season?

The falcons have new, talented, young QB and have had a busy and productive offseason. They also bowed out of the playoffs in less pathetic way.

We have a vet QB who doesn't go on talent but his intagibles...and he had the worst game of his life...in the playoffs where we got absolutley destroyed. We haven't signed a single FA and didn't have a first round pick. Then add on our disgruntled franchise player.

I can see why the talking heads will not lean our way.

We'll just have to prove them all wrong again:thumbsup:

Good call

:thumbsup:

^^^the other teams forums are overflowing with overconfidence either because their team is an ESPN darling (ATL) or because the forum is full of homers (also ATL) ... At this early point in the season, I'd rather be more cautious now over eating crow later... it is way too early to have a whole lot of confidence, no matter which team you live close to.. with that said, I have only seen positive things with the Panthers.

Let's just face it... ATL folks are going to be eating crow no matter what they say.

The Bucs fans around the web (minus a notable exception on this forum) seem to be realistic but hopeful about their team. The Saints fans are once again convinced that their pass defense has been fixed. I'll believe it when I see it.

As for the Falcons, I'm seeing words like "unstoppable" thrown around a lot. They're definitely banging their homer drums. Reminds me of our fanbase before the 2006 season.

IT is great that the media and other teams over look the panthers and what the needs were that we picked up in the draft. Atlanta is in for a rood one this year for there is film on there QB and it will help to find some weakens. and when we start winning they will all jump on the wagon and say I told you so.

    • Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.
    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
