It's just the virus us Atlanta fans catch every year... hope-itis. I liked the Falcons roster, thought we finally had a QB with Cousins that could get the most out of our skill players, felt the division was wide open... until Cousins had three turnovers and we got beat by a kicker. Yeah, yeah... it's just week 1 and there is still a lot of football to play, right?
Will Trae play defense? Who is the second and third option? How is our bench going to be competitively? What are the realistic expectations for Risacher? Who is DeAndre Hunter? Is interior defense still a glaring issue?
Realistically, Miami still owns the division and we'll be towards the bottom of the standings. I put us 35-40 wins this year.
