Matt Ryan has been razor sharp in both preseason games and the defense has (gasp) actually been good!


I knew we would see improvement in our D. Just wasn't sure when it would be seen. I, for now, am very optimistic about our chances this year. Our schedule is pretty favorable too.

The first 6 weeks are tough, but it lightens up after that. Come out of the first six games with no worse than a 3-3 record and I think we'll be in great shape going forward.

Philadelphia. W- Opener on MNF vs Bradford

@ New York Giants ? Don't like playing there but we match up well

@ Dallas See above
Houston W will be improved but still a long way to go.

Washington W

@ New Orleans W cause frick them that's why.



My fairy tale worst case would be 4-2 . 3-3 is a definite possibly as well. Could see a possible 5-1 if we catch some breaks and the ball.

I try to stay out of the severe category. Doesn't always happen.

10-6, either win division or make wild card. This looks like a much improved team in the trenches and the pass rush should be one of the most improved units in the entire NFL. Realistically, split with NO, split with Carolina, lose at Dallas, lose at NYG, lose to Indianapolis, and one more loss (at SF, at TB?) if everyone stays healthy. This should be a good football team.

7 -9 to 9 -7. If Jones or Ryan gets hurt, we tank.

Lines and pass rush are still problems. I don't put much stock in the ballyhooed zone blocking scheme (we have had that before). It's not the xs and os, it's the Jimmy's and Joe's. A lot of truth in that statement.

I haven't watched a ton of preseason but the improvement on D is evident. I just hope we stay healthy. That was our biggest problem last year having a gimp O-Line. I still think Matt Ryan is a top 6-7 QB in the NFL when he has adequate time to throw the football.

Ok. So Renfree us the backup and Rex runs the practice squad.

I heard bad things about the Offense v Miami.

Who watched? How bad was it?

As bad as anything I saw last year. Miami went through the O line like shite through a goose. Matt couldn't wait to get off the field.

Whoever was playing Guard was getting destroyed. Even our RBs were getting hit 5 yards behind the line.
