🏈 NFC South Favorites: Projected to win the NFC South, the Falcons are on the rise despite past struggles.

My biggest hope for this season is that the young guys in the pass rush finally break out. I hope Ebiketie takes another step up, and Harrison at DE took a huge step towards being a legit pass rusher at the end of last season.

[@Footballnationusa]

The Falcons won't make it to the SB but after all the building they've done in the last 3 drafts (excluding 2024) anything less than a payoff birth would be considered a failure I think. I like the defensive mind set of the coaching staff though. I think that's gonna help the Falcons stay in a lot of games this season.

[@ATL_Konner]

@@FootballnationusaI don’t think we’ll make the Super Bowl. It would be a miracle. But I do think we can at least make it to the divisional even maybe conference

I can't wait that special day to come. That day of the ATLANTA FALCONS winning multiple SUPERBOWLS. GO FALCONS!!!

[@dustinsirios3144]

Im actually annoyed they signed Kirk and drafted a qb.... I really wanted them to go take Odunzie and have Rome on 1 side Drake London on the Other side Bijon in the backfield and Pitts as TE. Then with Ridder still be awful on offense this year and go into next years draft and somehow someway get Shadeur Sanders brining a Sanders back into the building would have been epic for the Falcons and that offense what it could look like oof.

[@aliconteh7497]

This is going to be an 11-6 this season. Solid O-line with a new OC is going to be interesting to watch. Defense is going to be in more depth and Coach Lake’s defense with help from Coach Gray & Rah is going to kill it. Time to play this season coming. #RiseUp

Nobody should be sleeping on the Falcons this season. Kirk has 3 hungry WRs that are all capable of 100 and a score. They got Bijan and Allgeier is no slouch. Pitts should obviously feast. Just need to try to get a defense now. Need pass defense bad followed by a premium Mike LB that can get 100 solo tackles per season. Those don't grow on trees though.

[@Kudeghraw]

Phi is a cheat code, but I bet the Falcons clip KC who might have another slow start. Well, unless Hollywood Brown and Mahomes have superhuman chemistry already and go for 200 and a couple scores just between them.

[@jasontye3307]

@Kudeghraw I agree, KC is my possible win. Wouldn't be surprised if we're 1-2 and KC was our only win. I really do see a slow start for us but really picking it up in the second quarter of the season.

I know it’s not relevant to the video but the Fact Lamar Jackson has a higher QBR than Tom Brady, Steve Young, and Peyton Manning speaks a lot to what he’s been able to do in his career thus far despite all of the criticism he gets as a passer 😅 #RiseUp

[@Paula-mv8im]

Jackson may have improved but he is still not a very good passer. The good news for the Falcons is that Kirk is a far better passer than Jackson and it's not even close. A good season statistically for Jackson would be a down year for Kirk.

[@gfweis]

Since our DL was not really strengthened overall, there's no particular reason to expect a better pass rush from it. It's our glaring weakness. I suspect Lake will have to work out schemes to have the LB corps do a lot of the pass rushing. Fortunately, we open against the Steelers, whose OL is below average. But the Eagles the following week? Well, that's a very different story, and our DL will really be tested.

If the Falcons lost to the Steelers then Arthur Smith wasn't the problem

[@JayShep-kx2oq]

I don’t think that’s a fair way to prove your theory right. Arthur smith was head coach with a no name as OC. Arthur basically called all of the plays offensively. Now that he’s back in his OC role with limited responsibilities I think he will do well. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t his fault Atlanta’s offense was below average. He still played a significant role into why our offense was terrible this past year

[@MrBossuporbowout]

@@JayShep-kx2oq I get what you're saying but Raheem even said that bad QB play is the reason he got the job. And for them to assume that the Falcons are going to lose to the Steelers is crazy

[@David-ig5rz]

​@MrBossuporbowout No it isn't. TJ Watt will treat Kaleb McGary like a turnstile for four quarters. Pittsburgh is much, much, much better on the lines of scrimmage than Atlanta. Football games are won and lost in the trenches, even though the dumbass Falcons keep burning all of their premium assets on skill players.

This franchise is comically bad. They have half of a secondary, zero pass rush, overrated pass protection, and more holes on their roster than swiss cheese yet they have spent their last two first round picks on a RB and a QB who won't play for two years in the best case scenario. Pitts is a BUST, they should save taken Garrett Wilson or Chris Olave over London (who scares absolutely no one downfield), and they have no home field advantage (watch the opener when MBS is at least 50% Steelers fans). I've been a fan of this team for 30 years, and U9.5 wins this season was one of the easiest bets I've ever made. Starting 0-3/1-4 is nearly a death sentence in the NFL.

[@drew388]

your not a falcons fan haha. you dont remember how good our ol was last season? pitts a bust? he had 100p+ yards first season with a good qb matt ryan😂😂😂. you really know football

[@David-ig5rz]

@@drew388 That line was elite at run blocking, which is why their grades are so high. They sucked in pass protection. Brian Burns kicked McGary's ass repeatedly. If an offensive tackle is better at run blocking than pass protection, then he needs to be playing guard. As for Pitts's "amazing" rookie season, he averaged 4 catches for 60 yards per game and scored all of one touchdown. The #4 overall pick needs to be better than that. If a pass catcher is QB dependent, then he shouldn't be taken that high. Larry Fitzgerald destroyed defenses for his entire career despite a revolving door of terrible QBs. I don't want to hear that bullshit excuse for Pitts. This fanbase bends over backwards to make excuses for him and refuses to hold him accountable for anything, like when he half assed that deep route against the Lions last season that probably should have been a touchdown. That kind of garbage is inexcusable.

[@drew388]

@@David-ig5rz our pass protection was not as good as our run blocking thats a fact but we were still ranked top 10 in pass protection. also every reciever is qb depenant lol. if someone cant be accurate and you have to stop and run backwards or stop and get the ball slapped out because a qb cant throw is not his fault. yhen to add to the mix we got london and bijan to share touches. last but not least aurthor smith did not use pitts nealry as much as he should have. pitts didnt get that many plays called for him. yes he was lazy on some of the routes he was called on but he was not 100% along with probably getting fed up with ridder. sorry the whole team incuding our def looked like they slacked after we fell behind in the division and when ridder would throw int.

[@JoseSantana-pq3uc]

You just can't fix stupid. Those statements you made are absolutely ridiculous The fact that you already think Pitts is a bust because of the terrible quarterback play over the past couple of years is mind baffling. Then you have the nerve to say that going O and 4 in the beginning is a death sentence as if we were going to lose all four of our first games lol Man I wish I knew where you were you would be easy money. Your logic makes zero sense also considering the fact that you said that our o line is overrated 😂😂😂 sorry but you lost all credibility when you said that dumb s***
