Are the Falcons legit?

[rmilia1]

What say you?

No comment. Last year they almost an identical start.

The next two weeks will tell us if they're for real of not. Back to back road games on the west coast in Denver and Seattle

About as legit as they were last year.

Better last year start wise but they've actually looked better this year imo

They haven't played they played last year and lost to. Carolina has lost a step. Oakland's defense is overrated. And the bucs won week 1 in that place.

I've enjoyed routing for Mattie Ice and the Falcons ever since Ryan joined the team. However, they're the most heckyl and jeckly team ever. Just when you start to believe they're legit they'll prove you wrong. So to answer the question . Tough 4 weeks coming up so we'll see.

Agree.. I really thought that QB class would just bust. Flacco/Ryan. I remember Ryan's rookie year watching him march his team down the field and just thinking I'd much rather enjoy watching him play than worry about being wrong on him busting.

no....mirrors....reality will set in soon enough

They look really good right now. I'll reserve judgement for after the next couple weeks, but they are well in the driver's seat in that division right now, even with the loss to Tampa.

The NFC is really goofy through the first quarter of the season

LOL

I laugh because we had a very similar thread around this point last season.

Eli can't beat the Vikings when we are bad (and don't start Josh Freeman) 5 TDs, 14 INTs and 5 of them went back for TDs for the Vikings, how do you think he is going to do against a defense that Rodgers and Newton combined for 3 TDs on?

I agree with a post I saw earlier...the next 2 weeks will really put a stamp on this team...b-t-b @DEN and @ SEA...they split those two and I think they have a good shot at winning the DIV. If they lose both, back to .500.

That said...having seen all 4 games...they're better on OFC because the OL is better and Shanny is finally realizing that moving the ball around will actually help Julio. But I'm not sure if the DEF is better....YET. They are trending to be better...Lewis, Campbell and Neal...the rookie trio will have their moments goo and bad, and Freeney needs more consistent help on the other side.

Motion to reconsider available for those who wish to do so

 

[Flux2Flux]

Indeed they are.

No doubt. If they could knock Seattle off next week, (a tall order on the road with them coming off a bye) they could be the team to beat in the NFC (outside of the Vikings of course!)

Don't buy it. I've seen way too many 1 year wonders, so I don't think I'm gonna buy a 1 month wonder.
