The Falcons defense had so much time on the field last year because the QB play was so inconsistent. They made so many stops. Even if it was a field goal they were not given enough credit.

Not really falcons not gonna go to No SB with a qb coming off a torn Achilles+ only 1 win in the playoffs which is easier to win on the nfc side than afc definitely will improve but definitely not no SB team
Greeny did his thing, but the Falcons defense isn’t bad lmao. They were Top 10 last year despite having a horrible offense. Gotta get better research lol

Thank you, they were on the field so much because the offense was garbage. You can only bend so much until you break and allow those scores.
“Come in here guys and have at me” is crazy 😂
Kirk is really really really really good at Pizza Ranch commercials, you got dis Falcons ☺️
Viking fan here. Where did all these Kirk lovers come from? All of a sudden Atlanta is a SB contender? It's always been Cousins is a stat machine that's won nothing. Now everyone loves him.

Falcons were one of the top defenses in the league until Grady got injured, and after that they still were dominant considering time on field due to our offensive incompetency.

Best move of free agency was Kirk Cousins for Kirk Cousins. Show me the money
The clap back on Dallas losing in the first round was great lmao shut them up real fast.
I am all for keeping Justin Jefferson, but if there is any inkling he doesn't want to be there or we don't want to pay him what he wants, I would contact Arizona about trading him for their #4 pick (and whatever else makes it fair value) and draft Marvin Harrison Jnr, best player in the draft. It would free up a lot of money we wouldn't have to contribute towards JJ too. I would also look at trading this years two first round picks and whatever else to get up into the top of the draft to get a QB.

So getting a Mr. Choke was a best FA move according to you😂😂😂? Riiiiiiiiiiight.....
The 2017 Vikings were a QB away from being a Super Bowl team; they brought in Cousins and didn't even make the playoffs in 2018. In six years with Cousins, they had one playoff win. Cousins is just not clutch; 4th and 8 and he throws a 3 yard check down and we're done. Yes, Atlanta has a better offensive line so we'll see but those of us here in Minnesota are done with Cousins.

Feel bad for Justin. He’s a good player and leader. He got drafted into no oline, no run game, they traded all the good defenders, throwing to practice squad players mostly. I mean no wonder he had to carry the load himself. Now they’re gonna throw him away for a kid that has been acting like a punk.

He always lacked a defense. Did you know Cousins is the only QB to take a team into the playoffs with a defense that ranked bottom 3 in both points per game and yards per game? And he didn't just squeeze into the playoffs, he won 13 games. One game out of 1st place. Before he got injured last season he was leading the league in touchdown passes along with a 69.5% completion, 291 yards per game, and 104 passer rating. The defense gave up an average 28 points in his 4 losses.
