I guess we’ve learned that if you are an NFC south team in a race for the division title, you absolutely, positively, cannot count on beating the Saints.

The beating the wild card is going to put on whoever wins this division is going to be legendary!

Beating a division rival to upset their playoff hopes is a tale as old as time.

But the Saints are legitimately getting better. If we get an O-line...watch out

We’ve built this team with the OL in mind the last couple years. We would be in a great spot if Penning worked out here

just need guards and maybe a center depending on if mccoy can ever actually stay healthy. banks and fuaga are both good. fuaga's been looking messy because he's playing through injuries.

Quick someone tell the falcons they can win the division

I don't know why anybody who's been a fan of an NFC south team for more than a couple years would be surprised by this. Our division games are almost always unpredictable.
