Man, I didn't know this about the Falcons
You don't go 1-7 and end up 7-9. ATL has talent, but awful coaching.
Agreed. Atlanta has the talent to be really competitive. Ryan, as much as we mock aspects of his game, is a really solid QB with great chemistry with Ridley and Jones. If they sort out the defense, they will win some games.
The NFC south, with all of its changes this year, is really going to be interesting. I can see Tampa improving due to the Brady/Gronk effect, I can see Carolina improving with the new coach effect, I can see us holding serve as we’ve kept the core of our talent intact and made a few improvements via free agency and draft — Atlanta is the head scratcher to me.
They might be good or they might be terrible.
It seems that they end up being good when people expect them to be terrible. So maybe they will be good this year. Who knows, right?
