What's crazy is that we have 111 net points to the Bucs' -9.

Looking like we're going to end up with over 500 points this year. That's incredible.

The National media doesn't respect the Falcons at all. You would have think the NY Giants won the Super Bowl after beating Detroit and all media buzz.

The world respects champions. Even on a down year the Braves are still talked about around baseball because they have proven they can win it all. The Falcons and Hawks (I don't count the Saint Louis days) need to win a championship. The media has fallen head over heels for Seattle and outside of their defense which has taken several steps back their team really isn't that good. Rings mean everything.

We want to stay under the radar as long as possible. Let them give the NFC East teams and the Seahawks and Packers all the publicity. This is the type of year where it is wide open, whatever team in the NFC is hot at the right time will go the Super Bowl. I really don't want to say it and draw in the jinx, but we may be in for a surprise here in a few months. We not ready for prime time yet but this has just been that type of year in the NFL- nobody else is really that good either. The universe is off anyway, Trump won, the Cubs won, at this point I really feel anything is possible. Laughing but dead serious too.

Who cares about the past. In 2016, head to head, I like my Falcons chances against the Giants. Their D is good but it's overrated. It would basically come down to a shoot out, and I don't see them out scoring us. Even though the Giants are good for sneaking in on the WC and winning it all, I still feel that we would beat them.

LMAO. But he's not coming back. Earl Thomas is out for the year bro. He broke his fibula a few weeks back. Its even been said that he is thinking about retiring. There is no LOB without him. Chancellor and Sherman are for sure HOF players, but without Thomas they can be beaten by a team with enough weapons

I lost all respect for Sherman after the Seattle/Atlanta game. Rise up Falcons. That is all!

The Falcons can't "loose" any games but they can "lose" games. While it's true that they should have 2-3 more wins than their record indicates, they will be okay in the playoffs. I really don't see a team in the NFC that the Falcons should be that worried about.

Seattle's offense looks shaky.
Dallas is still unproven until further notice.
GB doesn't have any defense.
NYG, while they may be the biggest threat to the Falcons is definitely beatable.
Detroit is unpredictable.

Not sure about Tampa Bay, Washington and a few others that are alive but I don't think the Falcons should worry.
