General Consensus

[SauceBoss]

Is that we finish 3rd in division, out of the playoffs, at 8-8. I mean really? We were a kicker away from atleast 9-7 last year. But yeah, here's the consensus.

-Falcons are primed to dominate the division

-Saints* won't miss a beat

-Tampa is last no matter what

-Some people are primed to jump on our bandwagon as a "i told you so" by going against the odds.

Why did I enter this thread? Oh right to see another prediction. My only prediction is that Cam will be Cam.

:cam:

I don't see why everyone thinks The Falcons are for sure going to dominate the rest of the NFCS. They mainly just have 2 really good WRs and a good running back. They don't have Cam. I think the competition in our division will be pretty even this year. It's going to be a tough division. Can't really say anything until the teams start playing.

Not that I think we will finish 3rd, but the Cowboys were 2 missd kicks away from 10-6 and stopping the Giants from making the playoffs. What could have happened last year doesn't mean poo.

The Giants were a mediocre team last season that got hot in the playoffs.....and they showed the same mediocre play last night.

We need to outscore teams.I think we have improved the middle push on the DL but will it be enough to cover for our mediocre secondary is yet to be seen.

If the Giants could have run the ball the outcome may have been better.their passing game looked pretty solid except for a few drops

I did not say that they were not a solid team. Just that they are not an elite team. They barely squeaked into the playoffs last year and got hot at the right time.

They are a mediocre 9-7 or so team....just like they were the past few years.

To early for me to get into a pissing contest. Your opinion is they are and have been a mediocre team.My opinion is they are elite by virtue they won the superbowl and were missing 2 cbs last night.

I am not trying to get into a pissing contest. Just pointing out that they did not make the playoffs in 2010 and limped into the playoffs in 2011 with a 9-7 record. They got hot at the right time, but are a very inconsistent team during the season.

That I agree

All 9 of those wins were 4th quarter game winning drives by eli as well. They didn't dominate a single game last season. They were unstoppable in the playoffs however. It's all a hoax and they are just trying to stir up another boston vs new york rivalry.

I can't really blame ppl for picking us to be third in the division however, especially when we could go 10-6 or 11-5 and STILL be third in the division. I think all 3 of us (Saints*, falcons, panthers) have an equal shot of landing anywhere in those first three spots. All of us have outrageous offenses and defenses loaded with question marks. I honestly think we have a legitimate shot of having the best defense of the three to just barely push us over the Saints* n falcons.

[PhillyB]

hard to predict either way. falcons are unstoppable in the georgia dome and despite their travails the Saints* are still loaded with talent and know how to win games. standard deviation on our win predictions is huge IMO.

[Tarheels23]

A lot of people, including our own fan base, choose to ignore how decimated with injuries our defense was last year. I think our defense will be readily improved, and hard to run on, especially with the addition of Kuechly, and the return of Beason, Edwards, & Davis.
