Our D line needs to step it up and put some pressure on QBs like Rodgers, Wentz, and Goff. You give those guys time in the pocket and they’ll pick us apart every time.

Seeing how ATL played against the Eagles last week is the blueprint. Contain Wentz and make him uncomfortable. He’ll fold like like a cheap suit.
Thank Bog Quinn is back.

The Rams, Packers and Seahawks would be our biggest opponents, I don't think Philly will last the year, Wentz has never finished a season and seeing what the Falcons did to him in the last game I don't think he is going to survive the entire season. Nor do they have Nick Foles to save them anymore. The Saint's are pretty much toast without Brees. The Bears have no QB and the Vikings have Cousins who has never met a big game he didn't want to lose.

Of the three - I am leery about the Packers. Rodgers has been the big bad nightmare we haven't been able to vanquish and we are facing the prospect of facing him once again with a Rod Marinelli defense. Hasn't worked the last two times.

If you are taking the Falcons serious, you are trying to hard.

the Falcons scare no one who takes football serious.

THEY THEMSELVES HAVE PROVED THIS, get over it. you look Atlanta in the eye while you are beating the ever living crap out of them, the end.

never ever take them serious.

1. L.A. Rams 2-0
They look like Defending NFC champs and are most likely our biggest threat.
Rams concerns: Goff isn't a top five QB. Some questions about o-line. Is Gurley in decline? Still, lots of weapons on O. Well coached. Aaron Darnold leads tough, under-rated D.

2. Green Bay Packers 2-0
Defense had major off-season overhaul and looks good. Aaron Jones looks stout at RB...and of course they have Aaron Rogers

3 Philadelphia Eagles 1-1
Talented roster. They have a better front 7 than we do, but Philly secondary is much inferior to ours. Wentz will be great at times, but I don't believe the team has strong conviction to play with him. Does Wentz believe in himself? Highly touted o-line didn't play well in Game 2.

4. N.O. Saints 1-1
Brees out 4-7 weeks, and not at a good time. They play next in Seattle, at home against us, and in Chicago. Could soon be sitting 1-4.

5. Seattle Seahawks 2-0
Don't beat themselves. Best home field advantage in league. Wilson is superior deep ball thrower. Solid roster that is well coached. Buttoned up.

6. SF 49ers 2-0
I'm tempted to rank them higher. Better than people know. Their tight end Kittle is the best in NFL. Jimmy G might be pretty good. Defense is improving.

7. Chicago Bears 1-1. Refs totally gave the Bears a win in week 2. Best NFL defense, but Trubisky is awful.

8. Vikings 1-1. Strong D. Top 5 running back. Good home field advantage. Nice receivers. But Cousins at helm. Also: Xavier Rhodes not the same player anymore.

Others: Falcons, Panthers, Bucs
No chance: Skins, Giants, Cards
Seattle, Rams, and GB possibly SF are the only ones, GB has only allowed 19 in 2 games, and that is something they
havent had in awhile is a good defense.
