fuego Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 The Atlanta Falcons' 2018 season was one to forget. Besieged by injuries on defense, the Falcons lost four of their first five games and never recovered. After making the Super Bowl in 2016 and earning a wild-card spot in 2017, Atlanta watched last year's playoffs from home. Given that disappointing campaign, not a lot is expected from the Falcons this year. But that defense has gotten a healthy Deion Jones and Keanu Neal back, and the offense is still loaded with skill-position talent and led by an MVP quarterback. Atlanta could well be the most slept-on team in the NFC in 2019... https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2846479-atlanta-falcons-poised-to-be-nfcs-biggest-sleeper-in-2019?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=nfl Lowndesfalc, Atl Falcon, gazoo and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazoo Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 They ain’t sleeping on me! But yeah, we are being way overlooked by the majority of media mouthpieces. There are a few that see the promise in this 2019 team, but not many. Ovie_Lover, HASHBROWN3 and Tim Mazetti 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schwarzenegger321 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I really dislike bleacher report. Generally find the articles bad to atrocious. Any team that sleeps on a team with Ryan and Julio on offense and Neal and Jones on defense isn't sleeping, they're just stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Long Shot Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Judging by most 2019 predictions I've seen I wouldn't really categorize the Falcons as sleepers this year. Most have us in the playoffs with 10+ wins. B3TD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons Fan MVP Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I don't think any NFL team will take the Falcons lightly. Maybe a team like the Cardinals or Jets but not a team that was just in the super bowl recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcons Fan MVP Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 1 hour ago, MAD597 said: late 1970's early 80's Ohhhhh....... No wonder you're so pessimistic. Lol. I've been a fan since 1993. I still am very optimistic. But if the Falcons don't have a ring by the time Matt Ryan retires I will probably be as pessimistic as you are. I never really looked at the Falcons as a legit super bowl contender until 2012. Even then I didn't completely believe in Mike Smith. I feel like Dan Quinn is the right guy to get that ring. 1998 felt like a one year wonder team and Mike Vick could never get past the Eagles. If Dan Reeves stayed with Mike Vick they may have won a super bowl as long as they avoided Philly and the Patriots. Xero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
