A lot of stuff that has gone down in the offseason and pre-season has benefitted Atlanta. GB loses Nelson, Seattle has lost a DC to Atlanta, secondary, oline, C, Dallas has lost their big RB, signing cancers, Philadelphia has traded away Foles and let Maclin go and relying on Bradford, Arizona oline problems. Our O will improve, their D will improve. Other than them, only the vikings, rams, and bucs in the NFC are the other three that made upgrades and out of those four who do you think is coming out the best? The only thing I have for Atlanta not winning the division is the 3rd place curse. But we need to be serious here, they will be down our throats, and I believe that is going to push us to succeed. Falcons after all have forced us to play hard(2010 when Brees has that torn MCL and playing through it).

Had it not been for Atlanta's changes I would not be that optimistic but no one motivates us more than them trying to steal our thunder. That week 6 game could be the catalyst to a turnaround if we start out struggling. I just do not believe our locker room or front office is gonna allow them to run away with this division.
