The Atlanta Falcons have two top 10 receivers, a borderline top 10 quarterback (he sits at either 8 or 9, as of now), and a pair of decent running backs, but the offensive line is in shambles, worse than any OL I've ever seen in front of guys like Ben Roethlisberger and Aaron Rodgers. They've had to bring new blood in that will likely start, immediately. With a bad defense in tow, can this offense survive or will it all implode, like last season?

I think that team is way too talented to implode like last year.  Last week in Minnesota, they played a tough offense.  Bridgewater is going to be a big time QB in this league (granted he stays healthy).  It shows how good he really is with the smoosh job the Vikings got with Ponder.  And now with Asaita and McKinnon in the backfield, its going to be hard to stop that show.  Anyhow, I can see the Falcons winning the NFC south with the struggling and injured Saints and Panthers.  TB will find ways to lose, although, I think Glennon regained his starting position now for the rest of the year and he looked pretty good.  If Atlanta can go into NY this weekend and beat an impressive Giants team, they will be able to play with anyone.  I am a huge Matt Ryan fan and hope he continues to do well (except when they play my Cardinals).

It's not just their offensive line.. The defense is horrible as well. This team isn't going anywhere, they aren't even close to being a contender.

You are right here.  I am amazed how bad they are.  So much talent everywhere (especially on offense) and they are terrible.  So much for the Falcons to be my sleeper pick this year.  Just hope my Cardinals can go in to Atlanta and pull off the win!
