Are the Falcons really that good?

They remind me of us back in 2009 with getting all of the lucky bounces their way and squeaking by in close games. I say we sweep them this year.

A good team but they've been lucky this year
They could very easily be 5-2 and the Saints 4-2

They're extremely overrated to me. Are they a solid team? Yes. They don't beat themselves and that's their best trait. Their defense seems to have taken a step up.
My biggest pet peeve is their offense being described as some explosive juggernaut all of a sudden. Ryan's still the check down king with a few long pass completions a game. We can easily split with them, but there is def a possibility we could sweep them.

fundamentally sound team who doesn't beat themselves. Ryan also makes some very good plays to end games. They can't run it that well and both games will be shootouts. We have the better offense but their defense is significantly better.

Most honest people who've won the SB say you need a little luck.

their passing game is clicking at another level.
we can beat them but it will be tough

I thought they underachieved last year and are overachieving this year so far. We'll see. This has been a crazy year.

you dont think they are one of the top 3 NFC teams?

I bet the following teams could punt them right out the playoffs:
Giants
Packers
49rs
Bears
Saints (if we make it )
And I bet it's be a coin flip for many other teams too. Like I said, they're a good team, and they don't best themselves, but I just get aggravated when they get labeled this explosive team when they really haven't been

No. They had comeback wins in the redskins,raiders and Carolina. They are more lucky than good.

Falcons biggest weaknesses are their Front 7 on defense is soft against the run, their Oline gives up quite a bit of pressure on Ryan, and they aren't nearly as good on the ground as years past.

The passing game is elevated with Julio Jones! No doubt. But the coach is still a dumb arse.

See things like this are one of my pet peeves. Every chance they get to hype up Julio they do. He's obviously incredibly talented, but he hasn't been putting up the numbers you would think with the way they talk about him

Don't drink the Kool-Aid. They are good and will be a very tough win. Ryan, White, Gonzales, Jones, and Turner form a very good core of skill players. I have watched both teams and I see no reason to believe that we can stop their offense. It will be a shoot-out. They are a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

Its going to be an ICE cold winter for the Saints.

Tell ya what, you worry about the Saints until they play the Falcons.
If luck = wins. I'll be a lucky mofo.

It's cute when 2 of the 14 Falcons fans show up to start talking shite.
