Yeah idgaf about what the sports medias take is as far as record goes. They go with the favorite and that's pretty much that.

Hey guys, that's our 2-14 team you all are talking about . Thing is, until a while into season, every team is going to expect the same sorry ass team we were last yr. 2-14. Secret will get out but first 4-5 games, i don't think so. Just depends. If everything clicks, then it's no secret. IF we scrape a few Ws off the carpet, well then we are still a surprise. Way too many unknowns this yr...but the Front 7 is NOT going to be a secret very long at all.. DBs, i dunno, but the front 7 ....they are bringing rain. Same for the OL and RBs. Plus, i expect a lot of surprised fans when Hoyer starts kicking azz. Kyle's play calls will make him look way better than he is. But...so the fkcu what?
Also, no surprise to us, but that WR corps is one helluva lot improved from last yr. Still WR and Qb...will look way better because of Kyle' s game calls.
I went to the Seadderall Boards and some of the fans really liked the Solomon pick. They predict he's going to really mess with Midget and their horrible O Line (I'm quoting them now). If nothing else, our team will be able to scare the pants off the bottom 5th of the NFL - from a defensive standpoint. I like Kyle's system, but it will take a while to gel, soonest in my opinion would be last quarter of this season, and possibly it won't gel till next year. In other words, on offense there's going to be a lot of missed assignments and wrong routes and possible missed O Line blocks up until a good portion of our season is almost over, in my opinion.

I agree totally, we will see the improvement in this team towards the end of this season which will lead into the real improvement maybe in wins and losses which will happen next season.

Falcons still started 6-0 in Shannys first year, no?

After going 8-8 in 2015, the Falcons' offense under Shanahan was the highest-scoring offense in the league in 2016 and earned an 11-5 record, a division title, and a Super Bowl LI berth.
Shanahan was named the NFL Assistant Coach of the Year for the 2016 season.
So you can see that Kyle's second year at Atlanta was a much better.

5-0 in 2015 (wins against: Eaglets, Gnats, Cowgirls, Texans, and foreskins) They had 4 more wins than we did when Kyle took over. The final season 2015 record was a 2 game improvement from the year before (final Falcon season record 8-8) Offense jumped up 1 place to 7th in the league in offense. Keep in mind the year before they were 8th in the league in offense. So, bottom line, there is a lot of improvement that needs to be done before I think this offense really gels and becomes something more than what it was last year.

He still improved their offense though very marginally installing his offense... then it took off to number one.
An offense like ours, though our personnel isn't as good as the Falcons... who knows what kind of improvement we can make in total offense. What mattered to me is his first year as OC his team started 5-0 and he had the 7th ranked offense.
Their D was ranked 14th. They also lost 5 games, by a total of 15 points.

I thought Kyle was an offensive genius. That is why he was given the job; that is why I expect Us to improve.

I'm not putting stock into it, but we could all be shocked... if the last regime could get guys up/motivated for one half in a game, imagine what this staff will do (in a game of emotions/inches). 8-8 or better with guys stepping up and lucky bounces come our way.

It's a tough schedule. I don't see 5 slam dunk wins.

It seems to be easy money. Seems like a sucker bet
