Did the ******** falcons get better? (1 Viewer)

[wnelson]

They rebuilt their defense in our image and they went out and got a (washed but still good) star in Campbell. Did the falcons get better or just a little better than last season's dumpster fire?

A Little better yeah, alot better no. Makes me sick saying that but we'll still own them.

It's really hard to know how they will do next year but yeah, that team will be a thorn in the Saints side for years to come. sad to say it but you know they will bring their A game against us. Allen doesn't root against rivals the way that Payton did. Payton declared the Falcons the enemy. Allen is more like, 'look see, they are compeition, and well, people who are competition are going to play hard and so will we."

They got better and their rushing attack was already good and very physical.

 

[BayouSAINTJoe]

As far as I'm concerned they still don't have a QB...so no

I think Desmond Ridder will surprise some people.

 

[MSUSousaphone]

They are starting the guys who were are backups that we didn't want to pay starter money to......

He didn’t look like much last year. A small sample size, obviously, but the good ones usually show some flashes early on.

 

[Troll Hunter]

They have a formidable rushing attack.

 

[BRSaint225]

Based on last year you have to say yes. But that’s not saying much either. They are still getting broomed for the 3rd year in a row while blowing the all time series lead in true falcons fashion

 

[wnelson]

I don't think they are a playoff team but I am worried that Fontenot will help get their **** together

 

[Mojomajik9]

Well, Arthur Smith is still their head coach

Yeah, when Jalen Hurts played us in one of his first games in 2020, he didn't look like last year's Jalen Hurts but definitely showed some flashes. Ridder looked bad last year. I do not expect him to be a good QB.

Relax, they'll find a way to Falcon it up.

I'm also not as impressed/worried about the Campbell signing as some are. He turns 37 at the start of the season and had 5.5 sacks last year on BAL's defense and 1.5 the year before that. He used to be a great player, but he seems like just a guy now.
