how good are the falcons this year?

[PlatinumGold]

can anyone honestly say they'd take anyone NOT called philadelphia to beat the falcons?

they've won some close ones, lost a big blowout, but other than that, their defense has been pretty good and vick is still adjusting to the offense. they have a relatively poor offensive output but they have the most exciting offensive player in the game.

interesting to see how they do in the playoffs this year.

Pretty Good, Offense is struggling (Price is no where to be Found, thank goodness for Crumpler). Vick is still young & learning brand new offense which many say take at least 2 years to get comfortable in (West coast Offense). However, the potential for growth is there & that makes Falcons Dangerous. Defense has been tremendous, Rod Coleman I think was the biggest FA pickup this offseason. Dr. Z excerpt on Rod Coleman Stat: "Someone just handed me a Rod Coleman stat sheet. Thank you, and say hello to your wife for me. In the six games the lightning-quick DT has played, the Falcons' defense is averaging 4.3 sacks, 13.3 points allowed and 276.5 yards. In the three he's missed (auto accident), the numbers are 0.3, 34.7 and 475. Hey, you don't have to tell me about Rod Coleman. He was one of my sleeper all-pro choices two years ago when he was with the Raiders. " The one blowout game against the Chiefs, 13 falcons on the injury list with 4 defensive starters out (including Coleman). If Defense continues to play like this, and Offense improves then I can see them go far. I think we'll play the Eagles in the NFC Championship, and anything can happen then.

especially considering the eagles history in the NFC Championship game.
