What is the deal about the experts and the Falcons?

curlylouis · 09-03-2012, 01:28 PM

First off great website, finally glad to have joined up and get on the forum, the topics are enjoyable to read. Secondly, just left ESPN.com and it seems that all the experts are picking Atlanta to win the division and a couple pick them to go to the SB. It seems like every year at this time the experts jump on the Atlanta bandwagon. I simply don't get it especially after the Falcons disappointing end to their season last year. I could understand if they went with Carolina if they weren't going to go with us, but Atlanta? What gives?

... yep, that's what the ESPN "experts" have said for what? 4 years now? I guess they figure, like the proverbial broken clock...

And before that..how many years did we have to hear the Panties were the favorite to go to the SB. How well did that work out? I have a feeling the same is going to happen to ATL.

... true dat, but to be fair, the Panthers did win some playoff games, even went to a a couple NFCCGs and even the SB.

Yeah but if I remember right, it was after that SB appearance that they were suppose to keep going for like 4 years.

I think the Falcons will be much improved this year, as A) anythings better than that offense scheme they've been running... and B) I think Nolan will make their defense improved as well. That being said....I think most analysts are thinking we are going to regress or something... and tbh I don't see how in the hell that is possible. While SP is an important aspect of this team and the offense will probably take a very small step backwards from last year, our defense will be much improved(I mean how could it not). I just don't think the Falcon's roster is as talented as ours... and I really can't see how they are the favorites.
