With the moves the past 2 days where do you have Atlanta in the NFC?

[Anointed One]

Definitely should give Falcon fans something very exciting to look forward to coming into this season... The moves/draft puts you in the discussion of being top 5 in the NFC... However, I do think Detroit, Dallas, Philly, GB, SF are still a notch above them... New HC gives me caution... I'm not sold on him being a good HC but we'll see... One of the reasons Seattle isn't ranked higher is due to the new coaching staff so not sure why it wouldn't be any different with ATL... Most Mocks have Seattle 5-12 or something like that and stating the new coaching staff as some of the reasoning...

They definitely should win their division... I feel ATL's ceiling is there to be top 3 in the NFC but also think that they could be in the 6th-8th range with the Rams, Seahawks,

Sportsbooks have the Falcons as 6th favourite for the NFC.

That seems about right imo...

Sounds about right

but now they have Simmons. They are clearly a better team than Dallas & Green Bay on paper. Everything here is so subjective in August.

Go Team

Making it about the Cowboys again.

 

[Southieinnc]

I think we are definitely the best team in the NFC South, and are possibly the 3rd best team in the NFC - I would place the Niners and Lions ahead of us - after that there are a lot of teams that look about equal, I would place us on par with the Packers, Eagles and Cowboys. We now have a pretty complete team and the NFC is wide open.

If the Falcons win the Super Bowl does Cousins make the hall of fame

If the Falcons win the Super Bowl does Cousins make the hall of fame

No... I don't think he would... He would not only have to win a superbowl but have a huge season stat wise as well to even get the voters to think about him imo... 40+ TD's; 4,000yds; 5-8 INT's with a few come from behind wins along the way... I just don't see it...

If he goes out with a Super Bowl win (more likely 2025 than 2024) I think he has a chance. It seems like it’s a little easier to make the NFL Hall than the Hall in say baseball. Personally, I say he would need like 2 Super Bowls in a 4 year window because he was never seen as a top 5-10 QB in his era. Two Super Bowls would change that. He has a solid statistical argument.

I don’t think Cousins makes the HOF even if he wins a Super Bowl in ATL - he’s had a good career but not a HOF worthy career.

 

[rmilia1]

If Cousins wins an MVP AND a SB then maybe

But just the SB probably not

But the bar for a QB to get on isn't very high

When did Kirk Cousins get so much love? Never would be the answer. He has this rep, mostly undeserved IMO but his performance in big moments can't be denied. I get it's a weak division but suddenly Atlanta signs Kirk and everyone is talking about them. And that was before these latest moves.

It’s the preseason, it’s absurd to judge a team by a preseason game - Cousins didn’t play, hell Penix didn’t even play, none of their standout players played. And no one cares about winning a preseason game, players care more about staying healthy for when the games do matter.

& its gonna be vanilla on vanilla. None of these teams are gonna show their cards during preseason.

 

[Rowdy]

Cousin Kirk is an extremely slow starter to the season, couple that with him coming off a serious injury, and new offense. Don’t be surprised if falcons are 1-5 to start then they get rolling.

Jets vs Atlanta Superbowl! Buy your tickets!

It's kind of hard to do that when you're making 45 million a year.
