Welcome back fellow World Champs, in a show of sportsmanship..Carson will remain on ice for a couple weeks.
We do have 15 more years and a bunch of championships to consider afterall.

In his stead, we have the man who showed us how much how quickly he could grow under pressure.

Nicky Nine leads yet another team with key guys missing, that everyone is counting out against a talented Atlanta team in the Linc.

The Phoenix burns strong as the early leader for the wideouts while Alshon is out. A ragtag group who will have to figure it out til he returns.

Ertz looks to continue to be one of the best in the game and the addition of Goedert gives us 3 6'5"+ targets with Alshon..Redzone will be fun.

OLine is looking as strong and deep as ever and should start the year strong with Peters back at LT.

Jim Schwartz's defense was the biggest bright spot in the preseason. Solid play from all 3 levels.

The DLine depth will be needed at Graham is just now getting back and with Timmy Jernigan out for awhile
Luckily Fletcher Cox looks better than ever, and he was already an All-Pro..look for him to blow up the middle of that Atlanta line early and often.

Corners are perhaps the deepest they have been since 2002/2003 and Malcolm Jenkins is keeping all together and focused on the repeat at safety

Atlanta brings back, Jalen Ramsey's #1 most overrated QB in hometown Matt Ryan, Best receiver who can't seem to catch Julio Jones, and a bunch of other pretty good players who know one seems to want to learn the names of.
 

Lead by Dan Quinn, a man so tough and military that he sleeps on a metal cot since age eleven. Giving him his iconic weird head shape.

Steve Sarkisian, scapegoat/the only reason they lost (depending who you ask)...who's spent all offseason figuring out new ways to not use his talented players.

Thomas Dimitroff, perennial runner-up to Howie for balliest/coolest GM...but clearly tries 1000% harder

See the source image

Arthur Blank, currently tied for coming down to the sideline too early with Jerry Jones...but he has a unique sadness to his that sets him apart.

We will be doing something we haven't done since the 1961 season...defend a championship.
Be the ones everyone measures themselves against...

We are injured all over,
Counted out by many,
But somehow...like always, 
Atlanta will somehow keep us in the game and lose like they do whenever it seems to matter.

Let's raise that banner and go get another one

We all know the Falcons forum is bumpin but @scar988 @megatechpc @FalconFan13 you and your cohorts are more than welcome to join us in here. We'll tell you all about how to secure a win against New England. ^_^

Nah, but seriously, if you wanna talk about the game drop by here, it seems there are a decent number of Falcons fans on this site, but none of y'all use your own forum really.

Curious to see how Pederson approaches this game without AJ/ Wentz/banged up Ajayi? Does he go with a heavy dose of 2 TE sets Ertz/Goedert? Spread them out with Sproles, Phoenix, Wallace? Pound the Rock with Clement dare I say Smallwood if Jay is out?

Does he take shots with Wallace/Gibson/Hollins or play conservative with short passes to get Foles confidence back up after a poor preseason?

Should be a interesting chess match, just hope we're not playing with to many Pon's or it might get ugly, quick!

LOL we use to back in the days actually but just sorta drifted away from it and it died off for the most part.   Im more so in the mock draft and draft section than anything else i hopefully plan to be a admin/mod of that area one day if i can post in it enough and get enough respect on the boards.  Not sure how i go by doing that but maybe one day they will notice me if i keep putting in a ton of effort over there :)     Still though were quick to talk anything falcons related when it's brought up so im game for any discussion yall can bring to the table for the game.  Im not a huge smack talker though it's just not my thing although i will defend my team if i think people are talking wrong about them saying something thats false.

As far as beating the Pats we already know how to do that as fans it's called running the ball more than 3 times by up 25 points with a quarter left.   Or not throwing it 3 times up 7 in FG range with 2 to 3 minutes left.   Shanny as great as a Offensive mind as he is failed the Falcons that day when we needed him most.

I think Philly Goedart is going to be a bigger part of the offense than we think. Especially while Alshon is out.

We win yet?

It was a close one til the late 4th quarter Falcons won though 27 - 17.  Got a TD with 3 minutes left to go up by 10 instead of 3 with the eagles turning it over on downs with 48 seconds left on their 24 yard line.

Player of the game  Matt Ryan 22 for 32 297 yards 2 TD's 0 int's  and 13 cups of gatorade.
