    ah yeah - i dont mind the falcons so much - Julio is elite and matt ryan is well inside the top 10 qbs in the league!
    Quinn should bring a lot of technique and new ideas to that defense - and drafting beasley should make improvements this year.
    Need for your oline to step up - and get a proper running game going - Jackson, Rodgers and Freeman in your backfield last year and ye still couldnt get anything going!

    should be better this year

    You know I was looking at jones stats and he really is one of the best in the league......

    Maybe I'm mad but I think the falcons might get to the PO's this year

    Careful Now - hahaha

    There is a couple of variables in your division - firstly if newton clicks with Funches the way he did with benjamin they could be favourites for the NFC South - A lot is expected of the Saints running game and im not sure its gonna be overly successful - spiller couldnt do it for bills!

    Its definitely one of the more open divisions and if ryan gets time on the ball he will have a big year - maybe even reach the PO's

    Ya NO have a very capable running game, which seems to have the falcons on the back foot......Ryan is defo the key to keeping the hope of PO's alive deep into the season.....

    With Jackson and now Shanahan we might have a running game to worry other teams now! Wouldn't that be nice!

    Really looking forward to the season.....I almost have hope...lol

    i think jackson is gone - devonta freeman and tevin coleman are gonna be your RB1 and RB2 - there expecting big things from coleman as a rookie
    Im a packers fan but i just follow nfl in general too

    Of course, the released him in January or February I think. Packers fan, Rogers is a quality QB. The lions will be a force this year I think, that devision is always interesting

    think lions will be a much different team defensively this year without fairley and suh - ngata is not bad but ravens wouldnt have let him go if he had much value left! Offensively with megatron and tate thats a nice tandem but i dont trust joque bell one bit and stafford can be very hot and cold!

    As for the division Packers should be winning... but i would expect a challenge from vikes this year... lot of young players and a refreshed ap - could be PO year for them

    I must admit I have a soft spot for the Vikings......

    So PO for them would be sweet! And if they get one over the packers, I'll have to needle you about it..lol

    Just touching on the Vikings, do you think Peterson will be up for it this year?

    yeah i think if the o line steps up just a little bit - peterson will have a great year - seems very much out to prove himself!

    Very impressed with what Dan Quinn has done with the Falcons in such a short space of time..Ino it was only 1 game but the D looked good last night. The new O looks promising too with Ryan not being made too force things. A Step In the right direction with a lot to look forward too for Falcon fans
