How Many Wins Will The Falcons Have In 2024? 🤔

[@poonking3628]

10-7, division winners :)

[@yawaweee8841]

It’s kinda tough to tell I think they have the talent to go 11-6 but they‘ll prob go 9-8

Really depends on who their qb is with kirk they get 11 or 12 wins. Desmond again probably 8 maybe 9

[@zylophone4840]

I’ve warmed up to the Morris hire after initially feeling underwhelmed by it. My worry was what we were going to do at OC and I’m really happy that we got Zach Robinson. If we can just figure out QB and add another pass rusher, the future looks bright in the A. I don’t want to get my hopes up too much tho cause of what this team has done to me 😅

[@maskedman5657]

Thats if Raheem pans out as a coach. Again we don't know if he will get that offense going. At least the defense will probably stay consistent or get better

[@DuncanJarvis]

That's why I believe they should sign a veteran QB you have too many weapons to have a rookie come in and develop you need a guy to get in there and handle the offense

[@morsumbra9692]

Defense fluctuates way more than offense does, Even if you bring back all the same players n coaches. Cuz defense is the code getting cracked. Where offense is more a probability function. Statistically its much more likely to fluctuate wildly on defense year to year than for offense to do so, regardless of coaching consistency which is WILD. The athletic did a great podcast on it, as well as great statisticians on KZbin doing work on this stuff.

[@ricardorivera7549]

he wont manage the offense he will manage the defense. the offense will be in hands of zac robinson, the rams ex OC. he had kyren williams ballin, bijan will feed families

Fields will need a season to really step into his game, you better hope for a Jordan love situation where he develops in time to make it to the playoffs

[@antcantcook960]

no they arent, and Fields barely garbered a late round pick, so the league clearly doesnt see him as “scary.

[@rice_frying_shrimp]

This is what I've been saying ever since we fired Smith and thus opened up the avenue of trying a different philosophy (a winning one ideally, rather than sustained mediocrity). You hit the nail on the head with every point in the video. On top of it all, playoff success doesn't even seem unlikely for the Falcons because the weird state of the NFC where you need to get past one of the weaker teams in the wild card game you presumably host and then move on to the top dogs in Dallas, San Francisco or seemingly Green Bay. Everyone else and for that matter the Cowboys too have been sh*ttng the bed in the postseason so consistently in the past few years that I would be surprised to see the Falcons in another Super Bowl less than 10 years after one of the most bitter defeats in sports history. How they fare against the best the AFC has to offer is of course a different question altogether, but who knows...

[@24kingrose]

I just rewatched your cardinals video.. mmm I wonder when he’s gonna drop another video. Great content !

[@dallasguffey8796]

Why should the falcons not do both of these options? Get Kirk for the next two years and draft your qb of the future in Daniels but give him time to learn and prepare for nfl ball?

[@evanpetersen4016]

The jig is up on kirko, he cannot handle business out of the pocket. Everytime a dominant pass rusher comes along he takes too many sacks. Its kinda ridiculous how much money he supposedly wants. Hes going to be even less willing to move around after the achilles, I think Minnesota did the right thing by closing extension talks.

[@AJ-zt6mf]

I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!

[@lampini]

I feel like we had this exact same discussion about them this time last year as well. A new head coach could finally make that come to fruition though

[@ryaneugenelawrencewalls1987]

Depends on who starts at Quarterback

[@MeechG]

As a falcon fan, we're definitely more than a QB away from making serious noise. Can we win 9 10 games with better QB play, yea but we need a WR2 and 3, more depth at LB and our secondary and bonafide gamechanger in the front 7

[@cpoole371]

I would try to get Cousins and use the early picks to improve the Defense

[@EJByrd]

Either him or Fields

[@bravepanther86]

[@BlankZombie]

Raheem learned a lot under McVay. Rams fans are gonna miss him. Good luck Atlanta

[@Kyle-bi7df]

hope it was more than Staley learned

[@kennycai8695]

Besides QB, I think the Falcons also need to address their pass rush, cause besides Grady Jarrett, this team lacks options to put pressure on opposing offenses. Even then, Jarrett is already 30 years old, so the inevitable decline is coming sooner or later. They need to address this soon, cause the secondary and offensive line unit, the two bright spots of the Falcons at the moment, are all in their primes. It would be a waste to not take advantage, cause with that o-line, the potential for a strong rushing attack is there. The secondary can lock down passing attempts, but you also need the front 7 to add pressure to bait opposing QBs into making mistakes. QB is a glaring need, I will not deny that, but the lack of a pass rush will also be a factor in determining this team's future successes.

[@alexwatkins1931]

Thank you for saying my exact opinions and options we have as a die hard atl fan... Id prefer it id we got Kirk cousins, although with recent reports that fields unfollowed the bears and is now following pitts, bijan and drake london its looking like we may make a trade for him, which would still give us room to draft Dallas Turner. If this draft wasn't QB heavy he would've been a top 5 pick not a top 10 pick

[@niko326]

I'm kind of surprised you didn't talk about the chance they acquire Fields this offseason. I realize it's not a given or anything but it does seem like that's his preferred destination in a trade at this point.

[@ChrisTyroneDrip]

LFG! Football Analysis video on my Falcons 🙏🏾

[@TheMissiIe]

Falcons on paper have a top 10 defence and a top 10 offence (minus QB). All they need is a 7/10 QB to contend and a solid coach who actually runs plays for their best players

[@JonyRotten]

Offensive Line? Defensive Line(potential weakness)? LB Corp? Secondary? All Better than most think. When they pursue a QB hopefully they they get someone intelligent enough to stay behind that good offensive line consistently or Desmond might end up playing anyways.

[@adamdickinson2894]

If every draft prospect lived up to the hype its no exaggeration to say the Falcons skill position trio would be league-leading. Just something to bear in mind when you hear players get pumped up ahead of this year's draft

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

The problem is that Desmond Ridder walked in as a Rookie and he struggled. Sure, he didbt have BR at RB, but any Rookie will struggle for at least the first season. Unless they push for Fields, Browning, or someone with potential

[@calebdelacruz40302]

They have the weapons on offense and a good defense. They were a qb and a coach away last year and you can’t have that

[@adamdickinson2894]

Its interesting you say QBs would rather play in domes when only 3 indoor hom teams have won the SB in the past 20 years (and only 4 more have even reached the big game)

What I think the falcons should do Trade a second or second and third for Justin fields Trade down in the draft for a higher first the next year the either draft a edge rusher or wide receiver If Justin fields works out draft a needed position and if he doesn’t draft a QB with the higher pick

[@zeepapi11]

Kubiak bringing the Saints back ⚜️⚜️

[@monarch946x6]

Nah. There are some great QBs in the draft people aren't looking at. Penix is my favorite (outside Daniels) because he has great traits that people seem to refuse to notice and i could list but hard to explain without video and without typing an essay. JJ is way better than Williams. People refuse to accrpt JJ playrd against ranked teams with defense and say Williams is better because he destroys the worst defenses (which is disingenuous)

[@mawile2468]

And the thing is, one of those guys could easily fall to ATL without them having to do anything. The Cardinals and Chargers already have their QBs, the Titans just drafted one last year, and the Giants are stuck with Daniel Jones whether they like it or not......A QB falling to ATL will happen, assuming the Chargers don't trade down. Rumors suggest they might ship their pick

[@codyb1909]

Look at the owners history. ATL is kinda known for holding on and trusting their staff. As such I can’t imagine there’s a ton of pressure on morris and fontenot. To prove my point Atlanta has only had 12 gms since 1966, so let’s say Kirk resigns and Morris’ guy isn’t in this year’s draft. I don’t see the falcons firing anyone and just muddling in mediocrity for another year.
