Nole9782 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 You'd think this was a Saints message board. I bet they have a message board, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadMoonRising Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Gonzo is gone, White is another year older and coming off multiple injuries, Jones just had his foot put back together and we really don't know how well that is going to work. Our best DE is going to be out of position in a 3-4 and he is getting old, our RB has more carries on him than any back in the NFL and couldn't hold up last year, the offensive line is......well I don't even want to talk about it. The LB.....weak group. And the team currently has no FS.Ok, I've given it some thought. Yeah this team is a contender.Without the draft.We've strengthen our lines at the point of Attack.This could lead to better overall rushingLonger times for our routes to develop in the passing game, allowing better reads and increasing the area of the field we can attack in the passing gameOur starting FS was a liability in every aspect of the game so that is a wash.We will have more success pushing QB to the outside of the pocket, forcing more plays back to our ends or outside LBs.For every negative there is a positive, which is why I simply don't know.

Big_Dog Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Geez...........it's the middle of MARCH. MARCH !!!How in the h.ell can anyone rate ANY team ?? No team has a Roster at this point. Not even close to one.The op did say which ones are better. You can take it to mean are better at this point. Finishing 4-12, that leaves the list very tall.

falconssk8boi2001 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mike Smith is 2-8 against Payton. I don't see this squad bucking the trend. Even with a better roster, Smitty coaches like a scared little boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a better roster, Smitty coaches like a scared little boy. wow . Smith got 2 wins against Payton ? Was that Payton's first year ? How long has Payton been with New Orleans anyway ? How many years did it take him to get NO the Championship ? Was it less then 6 years ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Murray Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Mike smith was 2-2 versus Greg schiano, one of te worst nfl coaches of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Wall Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Seattle and San Fran but that's just based off last year. I think they have a better roster top to bottom but if we played 10 times I think we would split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFanForLife Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Well until we play them, there are two teams in our division alone better than us in New Orleans and Carolina.We had this same overconfident swag last year before the season began only to find out we had two of the worst lines in the NFL.Guess what? We STILL have the worse lines in the NFL until we see some proof they are changed. Sure, they are making significant changes already, but that is just paper evidence. We still have no upgrades at all for pass rushing. When you consider Baker will most likely be injured, like he has every year except one in his career, then we still have no tackles to speak of on the O-line.Just SMH at talk of who is better than us. Right now IMHO, the same teams who finished ahead of us last year are still better until we see some proof on the field that we are significantly better than last year.

Peyton Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The biggest thing the Falcons have going for them right now is the pattern of everything going right for them in even years. They are going to need a whole bunch of things to go right for this team to be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give lengthy responses Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I noticed you didn't answer my second question: Is this team not going to be better than the team 2 years ago? The one that finished with the #1 seed? If I was trying to make your argument, I'd ignore that question alsoNo, we will not be better than a 13-3 team that nearly went to the Super Bowl.

Nole9782 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 No, we will not be better than a 13-3 team that nearly went to the Super Bowl.So you think our offensive ans defensive lines will be worse than the team two years ago? Our linebackers will be worse? Michael Turner was better than Steven Jackson? What in the world would make you possibly think that? Or just you hate the Falcons? Tell me...which parts of the team will be worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Turner was better than Steven Jackson? What in the world would make you possibly think that?Or just you hate the Falcons? Tell me...which parts of the team will be worse?Offensive line - probably worse, yes.Defensive line - maybe betterLinebackers - How have our LBs gotten better? Steven Jackson - isn't it obvious this guy is about done?The biggest concern is the passing game for the Falcons. Not only protection, but are our stud WRs going to be an stay healthy and how bad will Ryan miss Gonzo.Without those stud WRs being a full go, this team doesn't have much.

That being said, SJ was never fast to begin with and he can still punish LBs. It is hard to evaluate any of our RBs given the fact that they had no where to run. Probably why now we can see that Turner's loss of production was going down hill too in his final year here.I wonder how Adrian Peterson would have faired behind this offensive line from last year.
