Falcons: I just hope for one thing

I hate to say it, but the NFL has changed. You can't try to counter the successful teams like New England, Green Bay, and New Orleans by building a run first, aggressive defense anymore. Within 10 years we're going to be watching a rehash of Arena League. The NFL as a business wants high scoring and no defense, so the rules keep changing to accommodate. Sure they want to see big hits, because it draws in viewers and revenue, but they fine anyone for such hits.

So here is what we're left with. Every team ends up with some form of high powered offense and a D that is designed to stop other teams as best they can within the increasingly strangling rules.
