Drew4719 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 9. Atlanta Falcons Projected wins: 8.4 Chance to make playoffs: 41.8 percent Where the team improved this offseason: Offensive line. The Falcons really invested in the line both through the draft and via free agency. They drafted Chris Lindstrom No. 14 overall as a guard with toughness, then followed by trading back into the end of the first round to select tackle Kaleb McGary. The Falcons also signed a dependable veteran guard in James Carpenter along with guard Jamon Brown. Lindstrom and Carpenter should start at the guard spots, and McGary has the opportunity to start at right tackle if he outperforms Ty Sambrailo. -- Vaughn McClure https://es.pn/2vKX00C Ergo Proxy, FalconBlood, FalconsIn2012 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlrfalcon Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Don't put too much into this. Just look at their post-2018 draft rankings: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page/NFLpowerrankingsx180508/nfl-power-rankings-risers-fallers-2018-draft Eagles #1, Vikings #5, Jaguars #7, Falcons #8 There is so much more to teams than just projected future performances based on talent and prior history.

Gee-Q Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I actually thought we were not that far away in 2018. Tons of injuries really decimated our chances. And we still won 7 games. We are poised to get back to double digit wins. If we stay healthy, I would be shocked if we didn't win 10+ games PokerSteve and Kaptain Krazy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be a 12 win team in ‘19. FalconsIn2012, Rings, kiwifalcon and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll make it to the play offs and by then we might even make it further ... but we have to have a very good Kicker.. A must,, IMO.. so underrated , ,just like the OC. Very underrated. thamill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but... The final four teams from last year were all in the Top ten so there's that. However, with that said, this IS ESP(suk)N so I really don't put much into anything they say.
