Totally different year, team, coordinator, schedule, etc etc. Anything could happen but I doubt it. We dont have much more talent on D anyway.

What are you smoking?

We have loads more talent than we had then; Hicks, Jordan is getting closer to his peak potential, Jenkins, Vaccaro, Lewis, Lofton, Hawthorne, Humber, and that's just right off the top of my head

By your logic then since the Falcons have added Steven Jackson on offense they should have a more prolific offense than last year and pick up right where they left off.

Nope, their talent additions do not outweigh their subtractions, especially on the O-line and defense. They should be a slightly worse off team than last year's.

We, on the other hand, have way more additions than subtractions. If you can't see that you aren't paying attention. If you are paying attention yet still disagree, then nothing will convince you otherwise.

Here's a little reminder...
Mitch King, Turk McBride, Sed Ellis, Johnny Patrick, Tracy Porter, Leigh Torrence, Jonathan Amaya, Scott Shanle, Shaun Rogers, Abreyo Franklin and Jeff Charleston.

I'm of the opinion that we significantly upgraded all of those guys.
