Basically it said that if Matt Ryan was any good they would be the team to challenge us. All I've got to say to that is "28-3"!!!

Didn’t watch it, but if they are complaining about Matt Ryan being an issue then they have an absurd opinion. Ryan is what keeps that team competitive year over year, each of the last 2 seasons he has arguably been the best QB in the NFC. The injury bug hit them last year on D. They will be a tough team this year assuming they stay healthy.

I’m sure they will be. Hell of a defense that’s healthy and one of the best receiving corps in the league. They are a hell of a team. That offensive line though is another matter.

Word on them is blitz, then blitz again, and then again. Their o-line won't hold up and skid britches will be at kmart lookin' for more 'draws...

S. Smith basically said that the Falcons should be the team to challenge us. But if they don’t,
M. Ryan will be a big part of the reason they fail.

Ryan will put up great numbers, he always does.

And when the spotlights on him and the season's on the line, he'll fold like a lawn chair, he always does.

People said the same thing about Brees... big numbers except when it mattered. We shouldn’t be foolish to think the defense giving up a 25 point lead in 20 mins fall all on his shoulders.

Ryan is a good QB, not great, not as good a Brees, but he is good enough to win it all.

An elite starting QB doesn't play in the 2nd PS game. Especially with a weak OL. His job isn't in trouble but the coaches obviously want to critic him more.
