Quick Inventory

Reasons for Doubt...

(1) Outside Linebacker Depth
(2) Uncertainty of Returning Starting Safeties
(3) Questionable Defensive Coordinator
(4) Special Teams Coverage

Reasons for Optimism...

(1) Big John Jenkins
(2) Keenan Lewis
(3) Akiem Hicks
(4) Kenny Vaccaro
(5) Glenn Foster
(6) Martez Wilson
(7) Ramon Humber
(8) Cam Jordan
(9) Kenny Stills
(10) Nick Toon

oh, and, an offense led by Sean Payton and Drew Brees...

Maybe I'm just a perfectionist, but it's easier pointing out the bad, though significant issues, when we've got a lot going for us...

Well, in all fairness, one more reason for doubt (#4) is gonna be special teams. Based on the preseason body of work, it seems that the plan this season is going to be, give the other team the ball on the 40 or 50 at least once or twice a game, and just make Ryan deal with it, and make Brees deal with it if Ryan can't. So assume that special teams will basically add 7 or so points to whatever prediction you are making for the Falcons offense, because odds are good the special teams WILL give ridiculous field position up, or take points off the board, at least once. It's true I did fall asleep during the Miami game, but ofo the ones I was awake for, there really hasn't been a preseason game yet where something bad didn't happen on special teams to give the other team the ball around the 40 or 50 or better. Is it the end of the world? No. But it's gonna lead to at least one score in the Atlanta side of the board.

LOLLOL. Trueblood? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Those guys are in for a long season if they are bringing in somebody like that. He is about in the same league as Alex Barron.

This game is important but we are by no means in trouble

What do you mean? This is a 16 game season and we are going to lose at least 23!!!

We should open the season with the Falcons every year. It just adds to the anticipation. There's no team I enjoy watching lose more than them and beating them is ohso sweet. The look on Smith and Ryan's faces right after we just spanked them again is a beautiful sight.

And you'd think it would've gotten old by now.

But it hasn't.
