How Good Are The Atlanta Falcons?

The Atlanta Falcons just beat one of the hottest teams in the league in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is a big win for not only the team, but also Kirk Cousins. He showed that he is still the same Kirk we knew from the Vikings and this time he can actually win a primetime game. I mean this guy threw for just as many yards in a game as Justin Fields did in a season with the Bears. Now that we are actually seeing how good this Falcons team really is, I wonder how far this team will actually go.

I can definitely see this team going on to win the NFC South and potentially farther. Think about how good Darnell Mooney, Drake London, and Bijan Robinson have looked thus far. The defense has also looked pretty nasty. I mean they just beat the Saints without scoring a touchdown and the Saints dropped like 50 on the Panthers. Obviously players' health is going to have a big factor in how good this team is, but would I be crazy to say that I think I can see them winning a playoff game or two? I mean I can see them honestly going to the NFC Championship game. There are not many good teams in the NFC besides the Lions. You can argue the 49ers but they have looked anything but dominant, and the Vikings are bound to cool off at some point.

All I am really saying is look out for this team. The play calling has looked absolutely horrendous at times. I really also do not get their running back situation. I mean why do you have Bijan sitting out when you think you are going to pass the ball? RB2 ain’t doing nothing against a defensive lineman moving at his max speed of 7MPH. Tonight looked better in the first half but they went right back to it in the second. That being said, I still think they are going to be a legit threat in the NFC. They have shocked the world a few times thus far, even exposing how fraudulent the Eagles are (THANK GOD, FIRE SIRIANNI!!).
