Does anyone in the NFC look better than us?

I didn't see anyone yet, but were not really going to know until week 8. Vick was surprising today.

Agreed. Maybe we should wait a few more weeks before we make any drastic predictions on the rest of the NFC.

I am so glad Vick doesn't play for the Failcons anymore.

Like said earlier...it's week 1...Hell we looked sloppy also! We just pulled out the win on D. The old gunslinger tosses one more TD and we lose....gotta tighten up on offense next week. San Fran might have gotten skunked this week but that only means they come out swinging next week!

Absolutely not!!

Yep, but Homer makes a good point. I didn't see anyone burning down the goal posts this week.

Well, it's a little too early to get overconfident. But NFC wise at this point I would say no. I think Green Bay going to be our main worry come play off time, but again, it's a long season. Dallas sure looked bad last night though...hehe.

Yeah I agree, The 49ers game could be a sleeper. Their defense can be scary if you look at the Colts,Vikings, and Cardinal games last year. They seem to be struggling on offense and smith seems to be turning over the Ball, again.

But I dont want to be in the Falcons position come next week and not take SF seriously. We need to come out swinging and not let up. Bury them quick if we can.

Nobody in the NFC looks better than the Saints right now.

In fact, I'm surprised that it's so objectively obvious right now that nobody in the NFC looks better than the Saints right now.

We're Blessed. We have it all right now, football-wise.

Here is the problem with that question... "it is about match ups".

One week sure you can have a close game against a good team and then lose to so called bad team. It is all about match ups.

Any given team can beat any given team on any given Sunday. Teams will make adjustments look good one week and bad the next. All that matters is you position yourself to make a run at the playoffs.

It is still very early in the season.
