You guys basically have the same schedule (except at Detroit on MNF instead of us at GB - hardlier any easier).
ETA - we host SF and you host Ari. Granted SF is tougher than ARI but we don't lose at home (unless Garrett Hartley shanks 30 yard game winners) so it's kind of moot.

Yea. Atlanta's is somehow rated easier but probably due to the 2 differences you mentioned.
One thing that I found interesting with ATL's schedules is that it's alternating every week. People say that's good but that could really get tiresome, it seems (i.e. H, A, H, A, etc).

And he is not a good tackler so we will run right at him.
So you're going to center your game plan around running at a cornerback? Good luck with that in the NFL.

Unlike the Falcons, I don't have two points, just this one:
Oh how I loved that Julio trade. So fun to watch a rival front office lose their absolute minds over a fricking wide receiver that will be average to above average in the league.
A QB for all that? easily understandable. But a WR? I couldn't have asked Atlanta to frick up worse than if I'd done it on purpose for em.

So you think N.O. wide outs are better than Atlanta's?

As an overall group. Atlanta has more star power at the position; meh depth.

I would say better overall. Colston v. Roddy is a toss up. Julio v. Henderson goes to Atlanta everytime. Douglas v. Moore is a push as well.

Moore produces. Douglas has better speed, but is inconsistent.

I could agree with that, but I think that might have a little more with who he is receiving the ball from. Who do you thing is the best receiver in the NFC South?

Honestly, lb for lb Steve Smith. I hate that dude, but he's good.

I think Smith is good. I got to go with Julio going into his second year. His physicality and speed are ridiculous. If he can stay healthy, he can really be a force, as there are no super strong defenses in the NFC South. A lot of people on here are hating on the trade but in reality the Falcons did make their football team better and their offense more explosive. I would have to say that I would rank Atlanta's trade for Julio above the NO's trade for Ingram last year.

I just can't say Julio right now. My opinion may change by the end of the year, but right now I have to give it to Smith.

We'll have to see. There were a bunch of changes defensively in the division this off season. It will be interesting.

I think Julio is gonna be real good, but I still think it's a bad trade. They could have filled a lot of holes with the picks they gave away. The most glaring weakness on their team right now is their o-line. They don't really have a replacement for Gonzo or Turner. I'm sure they'll try to address that this year, but it would have helped them to draft some guys last year that would have a year of development under their belts right now.

LOL
Sanchito... Julio v Ingram as you compare does not take into consideration the prices paid.
That said, who will be better in the long run hard to see it is.

To be fair, Julio probably has a higher ceiling than Ingram.
I hope Ingram proves me wrong in his sophomore year.

You can find plenty serviceable linemen in the middle rounds. With the change in the game, running back isn't as much of a necessity as it once was, one of the reason I put the Julio trade over the Ingram one. They have some talent at TE that they could find in the middle rounds, such as Green, Hanna, Egnew. None of these guys will be Gonzo but they can produce. I think they are in a much better position than many on this board seem to think.
