I keep hearing ATL fans saying that they are best team in the NFL and will put teams on notice next season.
The best team in the NFL was 7-5 last year with 4 weeks left in the season with a schedule with only 4 teams with Winning records(Went 2-2) . IN THOSE LAST 4 GAMES to finish off 11-5.
LOS ANGELES RAMS
SAN FRANSISCO 49ERS
CAROLINA PANTHERS
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
Then, they got a cakewalk playoff with the always fraudulent Packers and a injury riddle Seahawks. ALL OF THIS.. ATL was super lucky to not get hit with the injury bu.. They picked up a shytty drunk OC. And they expect to run the house in 2017.
Superbowl Hangover gonna be so real.
What fans are saying that? Something tells me no one, you just felt like posting this mess.
What does this years schedule have to do with next season?
The team made it to the SB with a young defense and still major flaws on defense. What makes you think they won't get better?Cakewalk in the playoffs you say? I bet you had Atlanta losing to Seattle and Green Bay, just like the media
nikkas wishing for a SB hangover so bad for no reason. You sound dumb AF

I still think the Patriots beat the Falcons 8 times out of 10 (born and raised in Roxbury, MA so obviously I'm brainwashed).....
BUT
Falcons had probably the toughest road to the Super Bowl that they could have had. I firmly believe they would have beat the Cowboys too.
So I agree with you, nikkas saying anything different are wildin

I guess being blind is totally your thing or selective reading. I've seen it quite a few times on a few forum including here.What does this years schedule have to do with next season?
Everything that happen last season matters next season. It's the only analytical comparison till FA market and the draft. Take it or leave it. I'm not going to leave in a fantasy bubble like "They could be better"... I'm going to stick with the hard facts and say... They overachieved greatly and make a strong argument that they will struggle next year.
What make you think other teams won't get better? Major flaws in every level of their defense without a true star defender. A couple of really good pieces in Pass Rush specialist in Beasley and their Number one corner, Trufant, returning from injury. I like Alford a lot, but completely fell apart in second half after a MVP worthy first half. Pretty confident that Vic will turn into a star as a Pass Rusher. I see a whole lot of speed, but nothing impressive at the moment. They need to cook for a couple of years. The whole argument of them being a top defense out of the bye was a complete farce. They faced terrible offenses.
Rams - 32nd; Allowed 14 points
49ers - 27nd; Allowed 13 points
Hawks - 18th; Allowed 20 points
Panthers - 15th; Allowed 16 points
Now for the top offenses that they faced in that time.
Packers - 4th - Allowed 21 points
Saints - 2nd - Allowed 32 points(19 unanswered second half points)
Patriots - 3rd - allowed 34 points( 31 unanswered second half points)
Can't possibly sit here and be okay with that. Say that they'll be fine next year. This isn't what top defenses look like. When Pete Carrol took over in 2010. It took them him 1 year to a defense in the TOP 10. 3 years to be the best and establish the LOB. Which is Dan Quinn's first year as a coordinator and got a ring. So, honestly, they are on the right path and making moves to be better. The defense will have to do some serious shuffling and may take a little longer than most people to expect them to turn elite. Especially, when you analysis from a salary cap perspective where their offense takes up little over $80 million on hold for the next year with only $50 million on their defense. They have have around $24 million in cap space. So, it's not like they can do much outside renewing contracts( Sean Weatherspoon, Upshaw, and etc) or mortgaging their future. I don't see them ever shifting spending to the defensive side of the ball anytime soon with Ryans's 20 Million per year cap hold. So, in all likely hood... Unless they pull some draft magic. They'll probably never have a top defense.
Cakewalk in the playoffs you say? I bet you had Atlanta losing to Seattle and Green Bay, just like the media
I picked ATL for both of those games and took the Over. I'm not stupid. One injury riddle Seahawks defense and fraudulent Packer's team
A Seattle defense without Earl Thomas. Which is like playing ATL without Julio Jones and other players dropping like flies. Seahawks was limping into the playoff and saw no chance for them. Too many problems on offense to compete with Atlanta.
The Mike McCarthy Packer has basically become a Playoff tradition to see Dom Caper's defense get blown out or lose a lead. 3 of the last 6 playoff(Since their Superbowl run) loses for the Packer has been loses of 10+ points. Blown a double digit lead to the Seahawks. Got embarrassed by the Cardinals and Fitzgerald on the first play for 75 yards of overtime in another. Also, getting regular owned by freaking Kapernick and the 49ers in a close game on their 4th consecutive post season/regular season game lose from 2012-2014.
Who had a tougher road between ATL and NE... That's a toss up.
The best opponent of the bunch had to be the Texans with that defense putting on one hell of a show. 
If The Texans can get a legit QB. They would of been dangerous. Steelers was the most disappointing performance, and I believe everyone would agree with that. if you wanna side with "Big Names". I could let you take ATL on that one. Playoff were hella weak this year anyways. Poor match-ups, and ruined by injuries for the most part.nikkas wishing for a SB hangover so bad for no reason. You sound dumb AF
I'm not wishing. I'm calling it. It's a pretty easy and most Superbowl losers struggle to even make the Playoff much less going back to the Superbowl. NFC isn't like the AFC where the it's secretly dominated by 3 teams year-in/ year-out. NFC teams rise and falls so quick. I wouldn't be surprise if there is new Top team busting out on the NFC.
