I follow your comments throughout the season. For the most part they seem reasonably well thought out. I don’t understand the thought process behind the Falcons winning one game. They have a better team than last year, they are a season removed from the Vick issues, and they have a stable front office and coaching staff. I don’t see why you think they will be worse than last year. They will probably finish in or near the cellar of the NFC South, but if they only have 1 win I will burn my jerseys and send you the ashes.

Dirty Bird,
I think the Falcons are in a huge transition period right now. I think it is going to take a couple years for them to be able to get back on the winning track. With that being said, I think there can be arguments made for Atlanta only winning one game, and there can be some made about them winning as many as eight games.
If you think about last year at this time, nobody would have predicted that the Dolphins would go 1-15. I think at some point in the season, Matt Ryan will be handed the starting job. It is hard to succeed in the NFL your rookie year as a quarterback, due to the speed of the game. In fact, Troy Aikman went 1-15 his rookie year.
In summary, I don’t have anything against the Falcons, and I feel they can win more than one game. However, I made the prediction of them winning only one game, because I think it will be hard for them to win more than that this season.
I hope I am wrong, and I hope this doesn’t make you want to stop reading my site.
Thank you for the comment.
