re: Are the Falcons the best team in the NFC?

I think this is pretty accurate.
My bold prediction for this year is that Matt Ryan leads the NFC in passing yards. Before all y'all aints get your panties in a was, I am not saying Ryan>Brees. I do see them being closer than usual with Brees just getting away from his prime, but Ryan has more talent to throw to than anyone else in the NFL.
I expect to see a lot of dump passes to SJ when teams bring the pressure, which is something we didn't have before with fatass Turner.

they won't even win their division.
seriously even with the falcons best season last year they barely split the series with new orleans who was in their worst since the payton era. also if new orleans had decided to win that last game vs carolina they would have had a better nfc south record than atlanta.. they both finished with the same exact losses in the division*.
i'm sorry but the saints have owned the falcons since payton and don't see that changing. especially after what took place last season.
oh and the 49ers are far superior than the falcons.

He came pretty close last year, even without a running game to support his passing game. And I might be mistaken, but didn't he have the best QBR or passing % completed? It was one of the two I think.
It isn't so much I'm saying Ryan is that good as he has that many weapons.

Both of these will be underachievers this year in my opinion.
In what way? I haven't seen anyone say SF is going undefeated. But I've yet to see many say SF won't win their division or be a 1 or 2 seed.
I'm curious where you think this SF team will "underachieve"

Everyone assumes they will be unstoppable, same with Seattle. In reality, the odds of making it to 3 straight NFC title games is not likely. People assume they will be there, I do not.

I really want to say SF/Seattle as they have the most talented overall rosters, but those are still 2 young QBs and Seattle has very meh WRs
I'd probably say GB is the best with their offense and some playmakers still on D. However, it's gonna be an epic 5 team race between GB, Seattle, SF, ATL, and NO imo.

Unstoppable? Not sure who you listen/watch but no one I pay attention to has said unstoppable. They clearly are an elite team in the NFL. Arguably the top of the class going into this season. But like any season they can be beat on any given Sunday.
I'm not one for Super Bowl predictions in July but I don't see how any reasonable sports fan could look at that squad and say "underachieving".....unless you are putting them on a higher pedestal than everyone else.
10 to 12 solid wins and 1-2 home playoff games and ill be fine with that. Far from "unstoppable"

So are the Seahawks a "complete team" even with no WRs to throw to at this moment? Would you still consider them top 3? I have a hard time believing they will have the same success just because most of Wilson's success came on PA TD passes inside the 10 yard line. I also think Lynch will have some regression. Their defense will be fine though.

Atlanta choke point is their coach.
And Mike Smith is fricking terrible.
Talent abound on the team...but he is a fricking arse clown

We averaged 35 ppg over our last 7 games of the season. According to Football Outsiders, we finished with the #4 offense in the NFL (#1 weighted based on more recent play). Losing Harvin sucks, but literally everyone is back from that same offense, so I'm not worried at all.

But Wilson won't have the same luck he had last year, a lot of it was because Lynch put them in the position to score. You don't think there won't be any regression from Lynch? They spent two draft picks on RBs. I know their defense will keep them in games but they did get very lucky last year. Off the top of my head I can name two games that should have went the other way. Green Bay & Chicago.

I think Wilson will be even better this year. Lynch played the whole year hurt, so I'm not sure if I would expect him to regress or not. He's right about that age where RBs start going downhill, so it wouldn't surprise me. They drafted Christine and have Turbin too, so I would expect them to take some of Lynch's carries.

You could say the same thing about a lot of our losses too though. We lost 6 games by a combined 25 points (The 13-6 loss @SF was the worst loss of the season). We actually underachieved with our record. We had the 3rd best point differential in the league behind New England and Denver.

The thing with Seattle is, they just don't lose at home... I can't see them losing no more than 5 this year.
You plan on going to any games?

Good point. They have a brutal road schedule with the 5 10am east coast road games though.
I can't get season tickets since there's a 4 year waiting list. I did manage to score some tickets to their game against the Titans this year before they sold out. You?

Saints game haha. I'm trying to score some for face value, but that remains only a hope. But it doesn't matter how much I have to pay, I'll be there.

I heard that the Saints game as well as the 49ers game were impossible to get single game tickets for. I had me and one other person refreshing two browsers each right at 10am when they went on sale and none showed up at all. Good luck in your search haha.
