I dont agree with "this is the best Falcons team ever". We have many holes to fill in both side of the ball.
Offensively:

Turner is old, and slow - We need to draft a mid to late round power-RB that can go with Jquizz.
TG- If he retires it will be a very sad day for Falcons fan, but on the bright side we can draft and groom a TE like Graham and Gronkowki.. can you imagine what Matt Ryan would do with JJ,RW, and a speedy-TE???
Draft or sign a RG, I have a feeling we're going to slide Konz to center, than draft or sign a RG.

Defensively:
DE and DE and DE!!! we neeed some pass rush!! the Ray Edwards experiment did not work out, so now TD needs to work his magic this time and bring a much needed DE to our team. But i dont think we're that bad as we make it to be, Yes we do have none after JA55 but i believe if we bring in a Dominating DE whether through draft of FAs, it will make our line a whole lot better. Kroy and Mathews are nice compliment to to JA55 and another dominating DE.

DT- Jelly is a no show but he made a few nice plays over the year. I think we can sign him to a cheap contract.
Peter and Walker did a nice job, nothing spectacular but not horrible either. Babaneux had a great year, but he's up there in the age, so we need to find a replacement.
If we can find a BIG DT to plug up the hole then i think our D will be greatly improve.

No we didn't. It was a 1-year contract for $7M. There was actually some talk about him going back to the Chiefs and having a farewell season with them but he put a quick end to those rumors by saying that he's either playing for the Falcons in 2013 or not playing at all.
