New offensive and defensive co-ordinators, Matt Ryan is improving all the time and Julio Jones with Roddy White is probably the best wideout combo in the league. Plus Tony Gonzalez. They completely destroyed the Chiefs. They started wasting the clock for the whole fourth quarter but still scored 40.
Defense seems to have improved and the addition of a playmaker in Samuel will help.
I take it this Samuel is Asante Samuel? I remember when he played for the Pats, more of a ball hawk than anything else, he was well known in New England for blowing many a coverage by trying to go for the ball instead of covering his man.
To be fair to the Falcons though, the Chiefs are hardly a fantastic team - and I reckon they'll be the whipping boys of the AFC West this year and could possibly be picking early in the first round next year - they face a much sterner test this week when they play Manning's Broncos on Monday night football.
Although it's not until about week 4 or 5 of the season before you start to get a true measure of how a team will perform over the season. I think the Falcons will win the NFC South and be ranked 3rd in the NFC forcing them to play wild card weekend, where I expect they will win before being dumped by the #1 seed in the Divisional round.
Yea Asante Samuel. Falcons needed that kind of ball hawk. They blow coverages anyway, might as well get some picks while they're at it!
And i'm not so sure about the Chiefs. They were missing their top pass rusher against the Falcons, but they have a pretty good defense and Jamal Charles and Peyton Hillis are great running backs. Dwayne Bowe is a top 5 wideout. Matt Cassell is inconsistent, but i think they'll do well. They have a shot at a wild card.

week 2 has started with green bay packers beating my team chicago bears 23-10 at green bay. green bay's defense completely shut down chicago's offense and green bay did deserve to win.
but so far my predictions for the bears have been spot on, winning against the colts and losing to green bay

Looking forward to Week 2 and seeing if RGIII and the Skins can continue their promising start to the season.
Go Redskins!

Because prior to the game he was mouthing off, saying the Packers secondary had no chance against his receivers and what not.
Well, they answered him, didn't they? Guy threw 4 picks.

yeah even as im a bears fan that was a silly thing to say, but did like him havng a go at his offensive line for not protecting him. looking forward to seeing RGIII later given how good he was last week

Its all showboating, a week ago, everyone was praising him and his receiving
corps. He has one bad game and now everyone is on his back.
He never plays well at Lambeau and he might have done better if he had been better protected.
U cant believe the over reaction to a defeat by a team that almost went unbeaten last year.

The point is, saying things like "Good luck" to the Packers secondary is like waving a red flag at a bull. It's ok to be confident, but Cutler went straight over confident into cocky, because he and his wide outs had a great game against the pathetic Indianapolis Colts. I mean hey, if he went and carved apart the Ravens or 49ers, he might have the right to be cocky.
It's like saying in regards to Ray Lewis "Oh that old timer won't touch me". You're just asking for trouble.
RE: NFL 2012/2013 - slinky - 16-09-2012 13:04
Thats easy to say now, cos our O.Line sucked and Cutler got a pasting. Lets be honest, the vast majority of QBs are gonna get hit by Clay Matthews this year and you can be sure that the fact it was Bears @ Packers was all the motivation they needed.
People read far too much into these things
