I'm not trying to hurt your feelings. And I don't mean to sound overconfident when I say that if your team doesn't produce a pass rush they could be in for a long afternoon. I'm basing this off of the fact that I have seen no real upgrade in the Falcon defense in the offseason and I think they are going to see an improved and upgraded Offense when we come to town. Not to mention an upgraded and more mature defense to go with it. I will grant you that the Falcons always play us tough. I just don't think you have the horses to take us. Look forward to a hard fought contest.

Soliai roughed us up last year, though I question the health of our interior OL at the time (plus I think Lelito or Goodwin will be better than DLP, who really fell off whenever Evans/Grubbs were hurting). Their rookie CBs were really impressive given their lack of experience, and they should be even better.

But yeah, in week 1, I see a game that the Falcons will be in early in the 4th, when the Saints force a turnover/punt and our offense puts the game out of reach. They don't have the line talent on either side to handle us and Gonzo is a huge loss. Plus their safeties are terrible.
