re: "Atlanta Falcons. This is another juggernaut with no weaknesses."

You don't think Payton would make up for a 1 point loss to the packers and an OT loss to the chiefs? Those would be W's, no doubt about it. And 1-2 of those other close games probably go the other way too. That's a very conservative estimate IMO. There's an outside chance that he could have even added up to 5 more wins. We all saw how much the Saints missed Payton last year. How it took them 4 games to get their wits about them and how the pressure mounted as the season went on. Payton would have been a world of difference. But that's all a moot point now. It's a new season, thank God. And I love how fans and media alike forget how good this team is after 1 season of mandated suckage.
