Good Morning Falcons Fans! Here's my NFC South Preview Video...due to the lockout, instead of doing individual team videos like I've done in the past.. I've just done Conference previews to get them out before the season!

GOOD LUCK THIS SEASON!!

Great stuff man!!!

I think the first seed can go either way really. I'd love for the Falcons to win the division but the Saints are equally as good. The deciding factor may very well be strength of schedule.

Also, do you think the Panthers overpaid for a few of their signings? Will this hurt them for years to come?

Thanks Homie! I think they may have overpaid for a few.. good thing is that the new rookie pay scale helps alleviate some of the financial burden on some teams.

I was ready to put the Bucs over the Falcons, but going back over the squad, the Falcons have just as much depth as the New Orleans Saints.. the Bucs are very thin.

Look for a knock out battle throughout the NFC South this season! Can't wait

Well bro, not going to lie, I think this post will make me one of the best young posters in the league.

You gotta come up with some new one liners, that one is a weak go to and really became annoying as the video wore on, I couldn't even finish watching it about 1/2 way through the Falcons preview.

What the "best young" line?

You think Brees is better than Brady???

22 ints and 9 fumbles vs. 4 ints and 2 fumbles, plus Brady has 3 more TD's in 166 less throws. Sorry but Brees loses more games than Brady 9 times out of 10.

As for puting the Falcons 2nd, I have no problem with that. There are question marks in our pass coverage and nobody really knows how good our offense will end up being. But I do think NO has just as many question marks in their secondary and their LB's are average as a unit. I'll bet dollars to donuts that Falcons defense ranks higher than NO's this year. And if our offense really does open up with Julio, HD, and Quizz changing the whole dynamic, I'll also bet that Brees loses more games for NO due to turnovers than Ryan does for Atlanta and the offenses have very comparable stats in the end except for turnovers.

Yeah you labeled everyone "one of the best young _____ in the league"

There just isn't room for that many players to be "one of the best young" anythings. It's just used way too much.

Can't look at stats when Comparing Brees & Brady... You take Brady off of the Pats they'd go 11-5 FACT (Matt Cassel), you take Brees off the Saints and they become the Seahawks.

Matt Ryan could have the best backpedals on the team..He needs to learn to step up to avoid pressure and take more shots down field.

The Falcons offense is going to be fine because of how its set up (Run based)...plus adding Jones and an emerging Douglass definitely opens up the passing game and more running room for Turner.

I agree about the Saints LBs... They only have 1 impact player (Vilma)..

Point taken! Thanks!

This year falls on Ryan for us. If he doesn't look downfield then we don't have a playoff birth.

Im surprised that you picked us to be over Tampa because of depth. Anything more that you can give us?

That isn't a good argument for why Brees is supposedly better than Brady and you sure can look at stats.

You're talking about the fact that NO's offense isn't run as well as NE's offense and that's to do with the entire team.

If you put Brees in NE, they lose 2-3 more games than with Brady. If you put Brady in NO, they win 2-3 more games than with Brees.
