I really don't see why anyone would take the Falcons seriously.

Because just like previous super bowl teams it has the POTENTIAL tp all come together.

- Giants had a worst problem than we did last year. They couldn't run the ball, defend the run or the pass

- The Packers had a problem running the football and the O-line sucked headed into the playoffs and Starks emerged and that O-line got better

If you, as a fan, of the team see the same potential that those teams had, then you can understand clearly why we should be believed in. And the funny thing about it is, we have WON GAMES with these flaws. What happens when we put it all together?

There is a question of "if" but the Giants had those questions as well as the Packers. Even the Cardinals back in 2008 were having troubles running with Edgerrin James and he played well in the playoffs.

If you see an 11-1 team with the POTENTIAL to be even better, then wouldn't you believe?
