This shows how average the Falcons are. Two years in a row they go virtually injury free and still can't dominate.

We have a lot of injuries. Good thing we nailed the last two drafts.

So did kuhn, but I didn't remove both of them since they were both on IR.

Just shows how bad off some teams are.

this makes me want to rage. If we were fully healthy I truly believe we'd go to the Superbowl and win. Atlanta has a better shot than us and I wouldn't be surprised at all if they make it back and win it. This might be our last great shot, considering Wentz is hurt, Rodgers hurt, Cowboys had their issues, etc. The NFC will be way harder next year, mixed in with a brutal schedule. How the frick is Atlanta this lucky two years in a row? They aren't better than the Saints, not even close. But they are once again fricking lucky. frick them.

And we have the best QB and Coach left in the NFC, so I like our chances...

I also think Payton and his staff are quicker to put someone on IR than other teams

While this is possibly true, look at the 11 starters:
Andrus Peat - broken fibula, this late in the season won't play another snap, will likely require surgery
Zach Strief - required season ending surgery
Alex Anzalone - required season ending surgery
Alex Okafor - required season ending surgery
Kenny Vaccaro - required season ending surgery
AJ Klein - required season ending surgery

John Kuhn - reactivated (1)
Coby Fleener - multiple concussions in one season, the last one was really bad (2)
Nick Fairley - heart condition (3)
Delvin Breaux - required surgery, setback after returning from IR (4)
Jon Dorenbos - heart condition (5)

6 of them required season ending surgery
2 of them had heart conditions
1 of them had repeated concussions
2 of them reactivated, 1 had a setback
