Did we really go 12-4 last season?

I'm pretty confidant in our team and the rookies we brought in. If I have to eat crow later, so be it. Don't really care

The falcons have new, talented, young QB and have had a busy and productive offseason. They also bowed out of the playoffs in less pathetic way.

We have a vet QB who doesn't go on talent but his intagibles...and he had the worst game of his life...in the playoffs where we got absolutley destroyed. We haven't signed a single FA and didn't have a first round pick. Then add on our disgruntled franchise player.

I can see why the talking heads will not lean our way.

We'll just have to prove them all wrong again:thumbsup:

Good call

^^^the other teams forums are overflowing with overconfidence either because their team is an ESPN darling (ATL) or because the forum is full of homers (also ATL) ... At this early point in the season, I'd rather be more cautious now over eating crow later... it is way too early to have a whole lot of confidence, no matter which team you live close to.. with that said, I have only seen positive things with the Panthers.

Let's just face it... ATL folks are going to be eating crow no matter what they say.

The Bucs fans around the web (minus a notable exception on this forum) seem to be realistic but hopeful about their team. The Saints fans are once again convinced that their pass defense has been fixed. I'll believe it when I see it.

As for the Falcons, I'm seeing words like "unstoppable" thrown around a lot. They're definitely banging their homer drums. Reminds me of our fanbase before the 2006 season.

IT is great that the media and other teams over look the panthers and what the needs were that we picked up in the draft. Atlanta is in for a rood one this year for there is film on there QB and it will help to find some weakens. and when we start winning they will all jump on the wagon and say I told you so.
