A Pleasant Surprise: Make Your Choice

[Jigglypuff]

Question in the poll topic;

I haven't voted yet, but I am curious to see what you all think is "in the realm of possibility" but not a given and would be a pleasant surprise next season

[Lornoth]

Well I have to go Win/Loss since that's what all the others are leading up to. I'd love to have all of the other things but at the end of the day I won't complain too much as long as we're winning.

If we hit on the top 10 defense all the others should fall into place nicely. Would be nice to see the defense putting a few points on the board to put an ! on it.

[MasterBateser]

I want a defense others fear!!

[apl2g]

If this team has a top 10 defense they will definitely make the playoffs and may even go deep into them

[Guest Mr Plow]

I voted top 10 defense because if we accomplish that, we are at least in the super bowl conversation.

[HxC Falcon2]

It's no question the biggest surprise would be the defense going from 32th to top 10. That rarely ever happens in the NFL. If it does happen, this team will definitely be in the playoffs and coach Quinn is the coach of the year

[Jigglypuff]

I agree with you guys that top 10 defense would be amazing... but I think that is too far of a stretch to be reality. It's not tempered enough to be a pleasant surprise

How can anybody vote for anything other than 10+ wins?

Because if you have a top 10 defense chances are you'll have 10+ wins. Thought that was obvious.

[DurtyBurdz155]

We can definitely win more than 10 games IMO

[dozer]

Top 10 defense = RESPECT

Because currently no team respects the Falcons, especially our defense.

Didn't you make the poll & put a top 10 defense as one of your pleasant surprise selections?

yeah why am I even responding to you

just because I vote one way doesn't mean others should not be allowed to vote their own way

I'm not a communist Chinese I believe in free democracy

I voted top ten defense because I've seen us get 10+ wins with a s*** defense and it didn't work out so well.

If we have a top ten defense we will be in the playoffs.

LMAO. You be clueless bro. Only five of the teams with top ten defenses won 10+ games last year.

[MasterBateser]

So we have a 50/50 shot

With our offense I think if we have a Top 10 D we'll have 10+ wins

[Butudontseeme™]

I'm going top 10 defense. As long as we're healthy, 10 wins shouldn't be a surprise. We have a franchise QB, a new coaching staff, and the easiest schedule in the league. 10 wins shouldn't be a foregone conclusion but it shouldn't be a surprise either.

[CraigSmackDaddy]

10 or more wins. Great defenses don't always translate to wins. Yeah, chances are with a top 10 defense this team wins 10 or more games but that's no guarantee. Injuries could decimate our offense and we don't get 10 wins.

[FalconFanSince1970]

Why not just pick the 10+ win option? That's a guaranteed 10 wins.

Only five of the ten teams with top ten defenses won 10+ games last year

All but one of the top ten offenses won 10+ games last year.

If we have a top ten defense next year the impact goes beyond just wins next year.That would mean just about every defensive draft pick was a hit and so on.

Think we're really just arguing semantics though.I'd be happy with just about any of the options really.

Top 10 defense. We have a top 10 defense, I wouldn't even have to worry about the more the 10 win selection. I know what our offense can do, I just want this D firing on all cylinders.
