re: Sean Payton reinstated - how it affects the NFC South

I just think Saints ceiling is a bit higher than falcons ceiling. With that being said, I think Falcons under Smith are very good at playing very near their ceiling or at it.

I wouldn't disagree with this. With Smith/Ryan, you can pretty much guarantee you are going to get at least a B grade in any game. The problem is the A games have been few and far between with them. They really need to have a good draft, and for Tony to come back.

The Saints obviously need their defense to get it's shite together and for Brees to continue doing his thing.
