I will not be praying for the Atlanta Falcons. They are not neighbors or enemies they are rivals. The point of rivalry is that you dont like the other team.

Even with a better QB the Falcons would still have a DA clone at coach and way too much invested in RB. Their roster only looks talented because they play in a weak division, and that talent is at all the wrong positions to succeed. I think the Panthers are closer to contending.

Damn. I hate it, but I agree with all of that. Scary, for sure.

I am thinking the Falcons will bring in Mac Jones. He fits their pattern of bringing in losers, and Jones and Morris can both try to prove Belichick is not all that.

True Dat! Kubiak does bring a fresh system to replace our old, stale, and predictable offense though. I believe that we will improve under Kubiak. But the question is how quickly can this offense pick it up, and do we have the right players for it?

I was just looking back at the Falcons recent draft history and it is a disaster. I think they literally may have cost themselves a Super Bowl just by ignoring conventional wisdom in the draft.

2021: Falcons pass on Jamar Chase, Penei Sewell, and Patrick Surtain to draft a mediocre TE #5 overall. Chase was the next player selected. You NEVER draft a TE #5 overall because the position is just too unpredictable transitioning from college to pro.

2022: Falcons take Drake London over every better WR and many other options. Not a big miss, but a missed opportunity perhaps.

2023: Falcons draft RB Blowjob Robinson when they already have a 1000 yard rookie RB. BJ plays no better than Allegier did the year before. Next player selected was Jalen Carter to Philly.

2024: Falcons draft Michael Penix immediately after giving Kirk Cousins a record deal. Next player selected is Rome Odunze, several elite tackles and dline also available.

On top of that, Falcons select two time loser Raheem Morris as new head coach over Bill Belichick.

Now imagine this. Take the Falcons with head coach Bill Belichick, QB Kirk Cousins, recent additions Matt Judon and Justin Simmons, and swap out the clearly stupid picks that go against conventional wisdom of Kyle Pitts, Blowjob Robinson, and Mike Penix for the next player drafted: Jamar Chase, Jalen Carter, and Rome Ondunze. You still have Tyler Allegier at RB who is a solid 1000 yard rusher.

Who is glad we are not facing that team? Thank you Terry Fontenot for being the worst GM in the NFL and not merely betting on the wrong player, but on the wrong position almost every draft.

The Falcons will probably have a better record and pick later in the draft this year. Perhaps they will sign Simmons and Bates to extensions and then draft a safety. Or perhaps another TE or RB.

With $100 million for one year of Kirk Cousins, the Falcons remain a joke. Now watch their rookie running QB with two ACL tears in college get hurt late in the year and miss the 2025 season. Who would the Falcons start then? Make up with Kirk? Maybe Mac Jones? Maybe Minshew? Aaron Rodgers?

Arthur Blank should have stayed in his natural wheelhouse and played Dracula in TV movies instead of owning a sports team. The Saints absolutely dodged a bullet when Terry Fontenot went to Atlanta.

Meanwhile the Vikings can get Cousins back for $1 million since Atlanta guaranteed his salary, get a comp pick for Darnold, and have another option if McCarthy is hurt or struggles.

How can you tell that a Falcons fan has just finished with his Cousins? He has Penix on his breath.

The whole division is a joke to be honest.

...which is precisely why there is no excuse to not be able to win it...a la NE Patriots did all those years in their division.
