2012 Falcons = 2009 Broncos?

[SuperJTheGreat]

Reading up on the DC Mike Nolan and found something interesting. In 2009 he was hired as new DC of Broncos. They went 6-0 into the week 7 bye with wins over teams like Chargers and Raiders.

Then after the week 7 bye, the team went 2-8 to finish 8-8 and miss playoffs!

The one big blowout win was over Chargers, a team with the same QB, scheme and HC he faced repeatedly in past, I wonder if this is why this was their only big win. The Raiders are under a new staff, so it wouldn't have been as big a help having previous experience with Chargers.

Honestly, the Falcons might be 6-0, but they don't look near the formidable team the 2010 Falcons were and we all know how that ended up.

I just bumped into Matt Ryan not 10 minutes ago in the Atlanta airport A concourse. How he is an NFL quarterback is beyond me. Dude is skinny as a rail and looks like he could be knocked over by a stiff breeze. His girlfriend was pretty fine though, rockin a fedora.
