E: If you're referring to responding to jokes surrounding the super bowl, I apologize if I come off as a dick. Twitter has basically ruined me with literally, and I mean literally every Falcons team tweet, player tweet, mentions etc having a barrage of unoriginal jokes about 28-3, 25, 28-34, etc. I realize you all aren't the twidiots so I should just cut some slack. So apologies guys, don't mean to be a jerk. Been a long off-season :smith:

In actual news, Falcons cut Hageman.

Supposedly that dude that Seattle cut is good, maybe they'll take a look at him? Upshaw can fill the spot and the depth of the line is pretty deep so meh. Bust of a pick he was.

Hey, I'm an Australian who has never watched an NFL game in my life. My local pub is doing an NFL draft though and I get half priced meals all season and a free beer whenever my team wins.

I got the New Orleans Saints.

That's a pretty cool intro to the NFL. You could have done much worse than the Saints and they are fun to watch, lots of scoring. You arent hosed at all...you can count on 7 free beers this season. Enjoy!

NFCS love from an NFL.com article...not sure if I agree with all of it persay, but our division is the best so...

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000838591/article/watchability-rankings-chargers-high-ahead-of-week-1

quote:

Half of the NFC's most fascinating teams reside in the NFC South. I also believe that half of the NFC's best teams play in the NFC South, although the upcoming season will likely render that prediction silly, like most predictions.

There's no debate that Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, Cam Newton and Jameis Winston form football's best division of quarterbacks. The difference in the Dirty South this season is that all four players have more assistance than usual. The Saints' and Falcons' defenses are set to improve because of an influx of young talent. Winston has more pass catchers than he knows what to do with, and Newton should be supported by a quietly strong defense and running game.

Much like the AFC West, it's easy to imagine any of the four teams in the NFC South taking the division crown and even earning a bye. The 2016 Falcons should be a reminder that there are more Super Bowl contenders entering each season than commonly believed. All four NFC South teams should be seen as potential teams to reach Super Bowl LII in Minnesota, which makes their division games this season among the most watchable in all of the NFL.

One overlooked intra-division move could make a huge difference in the NFC South race. Luke Kuechly's former understudy in Carolina, A.J. Klein, impressed the Saints in August and could provide the kind of three-down stability at linebacker that coach Sean Payton hasn't seen since Jonathan Vilma left town. All Drew Brees needs is an average defense, because the team's passing game doesn't have down years, and the Saints' three-headed running back monster of Mark Ingram, Adrian Peterson and Alvin Kamara could make this a ground-and-pound offense when necessary. Really. Payton and Brees will have an incredible amount of ways to attack defenses.

Panthers rookie running back Christian McCaffrey immediately makes the Panthers more watchable. He is a GIF waiting to happen, and his presence could make Jonathan Stewart a better player with a reduced role. Throw in Cam Newton, and there won't be a more difficult running game to defend. The Panthers also have a host of defensive players to track, from Luke Kuechly to Kawann Short to emerging second-year cornerback James Bradberry to Julius Peppers in his homecoming. This is an eminently entertaining team, even if the offense takes some time to get in gear.

No one who watched "Hard Knocks" needs to be sold on Tampa's buzzworthiness. It's not just Jameis Winston's personality, but his go-for-broke style playing with two of the league's most entertaining wideouts to watch (Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson). While the rest of the division is breaking in new players, the Falcons' offense is returning almost everyone but the coordinator from one of the great offenses of all time. And it's coach Dan Quinn's defensive vision being realized that should help prevent any Super Bowl hangover.

Well you didnt get the Patriots so youll have to pay for meals.

If Drew Brees dies Id just start mailing the bar a check because they should start charging you double for meals.
