Falcons may only win probably 3-5 games max. I dont think they can beat some of the teams on there schedule. Most teams look like plausible 8 Game Winners.

Winnable Games: Lions, Kansas City, Chicago, Rams and possibly one of the Buccaneer's games.

Michael Turner is a Top 10 RB in the NFL, and Matt Ryan will be good, but this team will win no more than 5 games.

Maybe in the division, but not the NFL.

This is coming from a Giant fan.

What's that supposed to mean?

Michael Turner ran for a little over 300 yards and 3 TD's in 15 games last year. I know he was behind LT last year, but do you expect him to be anything special in Atlanta?

Brandon Jacobs ran for 1,000 and 4 TD's, Derrick Ward had 600 and 3 TD's, and Ahmad Bradshaw had nearly 200 and an 88 yd TD run.

Not to mention we are reigning superbowl champions and we have all the pieces to be back in the playoffs this year.

Lets remember, winning 6 or 7 games is a surprise for this team, so I guess it's somewhat possible.

Turner is not a top 10 RB in the NFL. I love Turner, rbut he hasnt even been a starter yet.

We finally agreed on something!

There is no way he is a top 10 RB yet, he has 1 career start. It easier to come in off of the bench, then be the every down back. You get to have fresh legs against a tired defense. So to call him a top 10 RB right now is just ludacris.

Also I highly doubt that Matt Ryan can come right in and do something good. Rookie Quarterback are known to struggle, even the best of them. So I really don't think Matt Ryan is special enough to come in and take over.

Oh and also their defense is crap.

Who the Lions? Oh yeah, I knew that.

Ernie Sims+Corey Redding is better then the Falcons defense. Also I know that they aren't top notch, but they are not that bad. We got some secondary help with Dwight Smith, Leighn Bodden, Brian Kelly.

The Falcons got rid of their best defensive player

Turner is no where near a top 10 back. He is a make or break runner. He either beats you with speed or gets stuffed. His YPC was boosted huge thanks to some big runs on little carries in San Diego. I don't see him as much of an effective every down back, he is just one of those change of pace guys who can run maybe 5-10 times a game IMO. But who knows, we'll see this year.

Hold up....

Let's see


Michael Boley > Ernie Sims

John Abraham > Whole D-Line

I'm just hoping for the best from the Falcons this season.

You do know there best will only get you 3 wins this season..

Whoever thinks D-Hall was the best player on falcons D is a crackhead. One of the most inconsistent gambling corner Ive ever seen. Keith Brooking and John Abraham over D-Hall every day of the week.

Care to reconsider?
