Not necessarily 2016 back, but it's back to looking in sync with flow and a little bit of swag. Sark has figured some things out and we are inching back towards the slash run and big play play action teams of the past. Next week is a step up in defensive competition and should be a helluva barometer.

The defense on the other hand, frick.

Next weekend is massive.

Yesterday we finally really looked like the 2016 Falcons. Unfortunately, that includes the second half defense, which continues to be a nightmare.

I actually feel relatively confident against the Vikings, which I never would've thought 3 or 4 weeks ago.

All this time I thought the name branchdawg was some type of hybrid of the place the falcons practice and a dawg fan.

I finally figured out it actually means you are like a branch on a tree swaying this way and that with the wind. Riding the roller coaster of fandom that way is dangerous.

Try this: figure out if you like the coach or not and stick with that side. You know, more like stumpdawg.

Or I meant both all along.

If we can score 30+ points on the Vikings, we could very well win the damn division and somehow sneak into #3 or even #2.

But fook all that - 1 game at a time. On to the Vikings.

If we score 30 on the Vikings, I will drink all the kool aid.

Looked soft as shite yesterday. Banged up and lacking confidence in the secondary. Hopefully we'll be able to get Keenum on the ground on Sunday.

We won't get Keenum on the ground. He has been sacked 7 times all season in 9.5 games. Dude is a wizard back there at staying upright.

I feel pretty good about Minnesota at home. Not sure we will be able to rebound in a short week and beat NO tho.

Why not? They have to play a physical team in Carolina and then have to go on the road to Atlanta. If anyone has the advantage it's the Falcons

I just think it’s a stretch to win both, feel like a split is inevitable.

To be fair and not just trolling, the Vikings have what I think is the best defense in the league. They made the Saints, Rams, and Falcons look silly this year.

They are the legit #2 seed this year. Not sure who can beat them at home in the divisional round honestly.

Don't be like a saints fan.

I saw two evenly matched teams today. One came away with touchdowns instead of FG. That team won.

Unfortunately for our side...they have almost a full years worth of settling for FGs instead of TDs this year. But weak is not what this team is.

The Vikings defense is pretty incredible. They stop the run, rush the passer and cover with a vengence.

I wasn't totally sold on them but I sure am after today.
