There’s no denying the talent on the Falcons’ roster. However, the emotional let down of the Super Bowl, mixed with the Super Bowl hangover, combined with the fact that Atlanta lost not one, but both of their coordinators means Atlanta is in for a bit of a letdown.
Much like Carolina in 2015, the offensive numbers Matt Ryan put up last season are so dissimilar to his career average that it was likely an outlier rather than a sustainable clip. There will be minor regression across the board, but not enough to take the Falcons out the of division or postseason race by any means.
The Falcons pose the biggest threat to any of the remaining three teams as a team that will be fighting for redemption for the foreseeable future.
