Sad reality is the Falcons look like they will be good for a while

Going back to the Julio trade, they gave up a lot for him and it took a while for the trade to payoff. Sure he was always legit, but it left the roster very thin.

Now they actually have a pretty stacked roster. They remind me of us in 2009 where their backups can come in and there isn't much drop off. Another offseason and Quinn will have more pieces to add to their D, creating a Seattle-esque defense.

Silver lining will be Shanahan leaving for a HC gig.

It looks that way but I'm hoping a devastating Super Bowl loss will crush their spirits and they will regress back to their old ways.

They'll have a superbowl (win or loss) hangover that will allow us to run the table in the division next year

Their offense is built for success. They spent money wisely. We spent money on spiller.

When you draft well it pays off. Multiple cheap contracts of important players.

No maybe yes? All I know is I'm having happier thoughts concerning the birds.

They have a great team

Having the luck they've had on their offensive line this season won't happen every year though

If they lose in the Super Bowl I expect a huge regression the following year. Basically always happens

Everyone said the same thing last year about the Panthers.


There's too much parity in the league

Same thing was said about the Panthers last year. Not to mention the 2015 Panthers were much better overall compared to the Falcons. When they lose in two weeks it's back to the bottom.

The panthers downfall was tied to Cam Newton being the terrible passer that he is. He had a career year in their SB. Not to mention they loss Josh norman and a few other key pieces on D, kuechly w the concussions etc

Falcons aren't built for regression. They are actually in a position to fine tune a few positions to make them even better
