This is one of those classic "all in" offseasons for the Falcons. There is no mistaking their intentions to win the NFCS and try to advance deep into the playoffs.
Agreed, the Falcons D is now looking strong - the Simmons/Bates duo is the best safety duo in the NFL IMO.
Heck, if they can get the #1 seed they get a bye to start the playoffs....
The NFC is really wide open this year - I’m not going to get my hopes up too high but we should definitely make the playoffs and I think we can be one of the NFC’s best teams, and it helps that the South is probably the NFL’s weakest division, we could finish with a stellar record. I think we can legitimately make some noise in the NFC now.
The Chiefs should run away with the AFC West - the Raiders have a QB problem, the Chargers have no receivers and a shaky D, and the Broncos have a rookie QB and look very mediocre. The NFC East is always wild and wacky, I really don’t know what to expect from the Eagles or Cowboys, those teams are always fun to watch - I think the Commanders will be slightly better than expected while the Giants look like they will suck. And in the games outside of those divisions, the Falcons host the Seahawks and Steelers and go to Minnesota. That is definitely a favorable schedule, although you never know what teams will be better than expected in the coming year, there’s always some surprises.
