Best and Worst Case Scenario for the Upcoming Falcons Schedule

WhoDat!656 · 04-18-2013, 08:13 PM

This Schedule is horrendous. Opening the season in San Francisco without having much film to beat a very potent Offense and Defense won’t give Atlanta a very good start. Immediately following a road game to New Orleans would probably put Atlanta in a 0-2 hole and demoralized. Washington may be able to pull an upset over a falling team in the Dome. An Early Bye doesn’t give them an effective rest for a long hard uphill season especially starting out against Seattle. Atlanta would win a few more games, but a bleeding team playing New England at home would spell disaster. Following that with a very cold match up with Buffalo and a season finale against Green Bay in January won’t leave very much optimism going into the offseason.

Exactly my thought!

He was just a little off,

... this has to be an even bigger worse-case scenario then he could have imagined.

Week 1 (Sunday, Sept. 8): Falcons at Saints, 1 p.m.

It's on!

I like the last 5 games for the birds, 1-4 or 2-3 to end the season.

The end of their schedule is pretty brutal. I smell a collapse in the air already. Sounds like their usual trajectory of, they get all puffed up and full of themselves feasting on some easy wins against mediocre teams, they get all arrogant and obnoxious and jibber-jabbery, start jawing and complaining and asking "Why doesn't anybody give us any respect?", and then they crumble and look lost when they have to go against the actual good teams.

Doubt it. Since Mike Smith came here, we've never had a losing streak bigger than 2 in a row.. It doesn't seem like us to collapse in a stretch of games.
