Atlanta Falcons @AtlantaFalcons 20m20 minutes ago
Set your DVR! The Falcons will be featured in a 30-minute show looking ahead to the 2015 season at 8:30 p.m. today on @nflnetwork.
Heck I live in North Carolina and pull for the Panthers and I think I give this thread more action than anybody.I guess there's not really any Atlanta fans on the board.
Longtime Falcon follower here. Hankerson is giving him some serious competition. Team says Roddy and Hank are like WR2a and b. Watching all pre-season the fans speculated that Hank would take Roddy's job due to his excellent rapport and performance with Ryan as Roddy was sidelined. Roddy opted not to have recommended surgery on his knee. The knee will likely need to be drained from time to time and swelling could occur. Also had some issues with his elbow. If I had to pick one I would go with Hank.Atlanta fans, is Roddy done or what? Hankerson #2 now?
I've been really shocked by Hankerson - he never showed much in Washington so I didn't have any expectations- he's been great so far.Longtime Falcon follower here.

Very strange one. The Oline was playing lights out at the start of the year. Ryan and Freeman were in a groove. Both have hit a bit of a wall, mainly Ryan. Julio facing tougher defenders and isn't as fresh as the start of the season. I could see a huge game next week but nothing in weeks 16 and 17.Can anyone explain this team to me? They started 5-0, they are now on a 0-6 slide, 1-7 in last 8. WTF happened?
That's awfully short-sighted analysis. There's still tons of lb and DL talent in this draft. The two guys that would have netted ATL in Jack and Ragland are both falling well into round 2 at this point. I don't know how the Neal pick works out, but I'm cool with letting Quinn get a guy he thinks can be his Kam Chancellor.
Trufant out now for year. That doesn't help.Atlanta has a nice schedule down the stretch. KC, @LA, SF, @Car. I would like to know homer's thoughts on your D. Prospects, overall health, etc.
Thank you.
Defense has been playing better, they actually have a pass rush now and Vic Beasley is becoming a stud. The best defensive player Trufant is out for the year and Clayborn, probably the 2nd best pass rusher is out for a month. They have a real favorable schedule though and shutdown Arizona for the most part without Trufant and Clayborn (who was out most of the game).Atlanta has a nice schedule down the stretch.

You're right.they're the falcs, not much to see folks.
Lucky wins vs the Saints. Pick 6 by Debo Jones & a lousy reverse on a TD.You're right.
All I see is:
And all those pieces locked into place for the foreseeable future.
- 2-0 against the Saints.
- 5-1 in the NFC South.
- #2 Seed in the NFC
- One of the most prolific offenses in NFL HISTORY - 33.8 pts per game average.
- MVP Candidate QB- 13 different players caught a TD from Ryan this season.
- One of the most if not most dominate WRs in the game
- The best 1-2 punch RB tandem in the league
- 2016 NFL Sack Leader
- 6 Pro-Bowlers
- A young an improving Defense that probably won't hit it's stride for at least another year
God do I hope everyone continues to see "nothing here".
Offensive coordinator will probably be gone - Broncos have already asked permissionYou're right.

Pretty much it.Offensive coordinator will probably be gone - Broncos have already asked permission
Should be a great game! Glad we have a head coach who knows a little something about the Seattle D, and another coach who knows how to exploit it. As I've said...Atlanta is a better team (on both sides of the ball) than people are giving credit.Sherman marches on Atlanta. Guessing that Ryan targets WRs on his side of the field more than Stafford did. Seattle had huge uncharacteristic miscommunication plays in their secondary the first go round. Doubtful that happens again.
Good luck this week. Hope we have a clean game where both teams play well.
Do you feel they are as good defensively? I think the perception is that they have problems on that side of the ball. And if Beasley is hurt, wouldn't that exacerbate those problems?Should be a great game!

Beasley isn't hurt. He did come out of the Saints game, but went back in and got a sack to boot.Do you feel they are as good defensively? I think the perception is that they have problems on that side of the ball. And if Beasley is hurt, wouldn't that exacerbate those problems?
I don't that's the case at all. I'm just a fan that doesn't know so I was asking. Thanks for the details. Look forward to watching.If Seattle wants to overlook the D fine by me.
