That said, these guys are young and the Falcons are going to be a force in the NFC for at least the near future. What sucks is you never know when you will be back, if ever, unless you are the Patriots :smith:

I mean, maybe? They're the same pros and joes team that they've been since Julio got there, and their best 5 players are:

Matt Ryan, guy coming up to next extension where you'll pay him 27 mil/year.
Julio Jones , locked in for 13.5/mil for the near future and hopefully doesn't lose his foot; has only started a complete season once and plays hurt constantly
Alex Mack, a really great center you're paying 11 million dollars/year to for his 32-35 year old seasons which could probably work out.
Freeman, last year of contract
Beasley, your only legit no-strings young star, for 3 years.

Next best guy after that is Jake Matthews. That's not a good next best. And if anyone on the line actually get injured next year, they'll drop off entirely.

Think you mean desmond, but this is his option year and the last year of his contract. Also they played better after he left, which doesn't make any sense to me because he is good, but he's not a young core to build on anymore.

Debo Jones could turn into that though.

They are resigning him, he's not going anywhere. The entire rookie class looks like they could be the core to build around. Jones, Neal, Campbell all look like they will have promising futures.

Jarrett and Hageman also look good and really came on in the playoffs.

They need another pass rusher badly to compliment Beasley. Upgrade Allen at FS, add an ILB and the potential is there.

The problem with great guys at market value is that you can't win poo poo with them if you don't have great guys on their rookie deals. You can basically judge every team in the NFL on if they hosed up the market value of their veterans or were able to backfill their team with cheap talent from the draft or UDFAs.

See: Seahawks defense and Russell Wilson until they all got paid and turned into pumpkins.


I think Atlanta looks promising for next year, but it's not clear that they'll remain the best team in the South with their bad defense and O-Line that scrapped together a good season out of no where after years of falling over themselves (see: Panthers). Then there's the matter of the rest of the NFC not rolling over.

Nah, our line is good right now because of alex mack. We could use better guards and a good reserve tackle.

Yeah, I was a little surprised to see them pay Alford before Trufant but maybe they have plans for him at FS and sticking Collins opposite Trufant? I don't know.

I feel like Atlanta is setup pretty well for the near future. They have cap space, Ryan is getting restructured which should free up even more...I don't know what's going to happen with Freeman though if these agent demands are any indication of what he really wants.

I also feel like the defense came a long way from the start of the season so I'm not expecting them to be bad and outside of Chester, the oline is solid.

I doubt Carolina is as bad as they were again, Tampa is up and coming and New Orleans still has Brees so the division should be fun again.

Bad lines tend to overperform when they have continuity and stay healthy. Alex Mack is a huge difference maker, but he probably couldn't salvage that line if anyone went down.

Shanahan is probably poaching anyone he thinks is worth a drat. Bringing in someone like Kelly at least means Kelly can bring in his guys to re-staff.

I'm a bit worried about Tampa, and Carolina could probably fix a lot of problems if they spend money. Saints have no cap space, so basically have to hope they can draft a pass rusher, a 2nd/3rd round O Linemen/DB that can grow into the role, and then hope the line doesn't have injuries again.

The Atlanta Falcons football team lost in the Super Bowl, leading 28-3 with 17 minutes left in the game. It was the worse championship game collapse in NFL history. That, and Tom Brady's transcendent comeback performance will be all that people remember about this season's finale.

The same way two brothers who are very much alike can have a heated rivalry. We hate each other's teams, because that is exactly what you are supposed to do.

In my mind, any Saints fan rooting for Atlanta last night is not a true Saints fan, no matter how much you detest New England. I wouldn't expect them to cheer for us if we made it back to the Super Bowl.

It's just a good old fashioned rivalry.

The one constant in the NFC South is that no one stays at the top for very long, so I expect the Falcons reign to be short lived, not for any specific football reasons, but because that's just the way it is.

Plus, you talk about the mother of Super Bowl hangovers, Atlanta is going to have this hanging around their necks for a loooooong time. Look what happened to Carolina this year. Hell, even when the Saints win, the next year was the 7-9 BEAST MODE playoff game first round loss.

Can Atlanta make it back to the playoffs next year? Sure. Do I think they will? Nope.

You can segment my facebook friends into a. my college friends not from New Orleans who became die hard Saints fans because they started college in 2006 and we made them watch football every Sunday and b. People from New Orleans originally, primarily high school friends.

One group cheered for the Pats, one for Falcons. It was the ultimate bandwagon fan test.
