Disclosure - I am not a Michael Vick Hater.

However, he is playing in the wrong offense. The coaching staff is screwing up trying to run a bastardized West Coast Offense with Vick. Vick's arm is a howitzer, but his accuracy is spotty at times. Trying to make him fit into a timing scheme that depends on accuracy is insane. Let the guy drop back, go deep, and if it isn't there take off.

I have been a Warrick Dunn fan since he was at Florida State. I was pissed when Tampa Bay let him go. TJ Duckett is insanely inconsistent, and at times soft. I think his days are numbered in Atlanta.

The defense was at times terrible last year, but they should be much better this year. They'll go through the NFC South 3-3, end up at 8-8 or 9-7 and miss the playoffs due to the division they play in.

Falcons are the Best. Warrick Dunn is the man.

hahaha Lions my @** 37-7. Take that and Stuf it ;) 12 points and we'd be 10-1... the Refs blew two of those games.... We're Back now tho boyyyyeeeeeeeeeee, and yeah keep downing us. Thats what we want. Every year the media jumps on the panthers bandwagon, and every year, the falcons break the wheels of that bandwagon. ;)

Being from Georgia i guess im just a natural Falcons fan, They are the best team in the NFL in my book. Big UPS!! to my boy Alge Crumpler #83 GO FALCONS!!! Super Bowl 40....Were There for sure baby!!

the falons meight not be that good but they should be down this far. vick is the best QB as running is goes and he is pretty good throwing the balls!!!! playoff here we come

Gotta love my birdz!

haha, my lions beat you guys. these guys play football like jamaicans play hockey......BAAAAD

I feel more like I'm rating a player here than a team. Remember the Broncos of the 80's? Now Atlanta just needs to hope for a #30 to go with there #7.

They'll be lucky if they reach .500.

not only do they have the best player in football but the best jerseys, coach, fans, and everything else important to. the best team ever to play football by far

And now introducing the Atlanta Falcons Michael Vick. That is the team but he could take them all the way.

It's fricking funny how a good team led by a bad-ass q.b. can regress into a 1-7 joke led by some 5th-string middle school guy named Shit Shittner or something when the other useless tool, Doug Johnson, goes down or is pulled because he sucks so bad. Wow what a difference Peerless Price has made on this offense. I think we found out he has plenty of peers... called DEFENSIVE BACKS. Poor old Dan Reeves will probably need yet another bypass after this humiliating season. Michael Vick will probably stay 'injured' until he gets traded to a real team with a chance to win more than one game per year.

my hometown team go falcons maybe only deserve a 4 but will givea 5 cause i think they are becoming one of the best teams in football and they will improve over last year

BAD QB!

Is Price a legit #1 WR or was Moulds' back sore from carrying him?

Michael Vick is going to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Anybody how doubts me...just watch...And the Addition of Price in the offseason watch out NFL...Atlanta might be a contender soon...if not this year...very soon

an over rated team..but peerless should improve this team alot...

Dirty Birds who leave dirty Turds

I wish they had a 3 1/2, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. True Tampa shut Vick down, but Tampa pretty much shut everyone down. Add in free agent acquisition Price at receiver, and suddenly Vick has a huge downfield target. Tampa shut Vick down due to speed, but NOBODY in the NFL has neer the team speed Tampa does. Their defense statistically ranked as average, but look at their points per game. It was in the top quarter of the NFL. That's more important than how many yards they allow. Bend but don't break defense shows how much heart this young team really has.

I'm not as impressed with vick as the rest of the world is. Let's not forget thatthe Bucs shut him down easily both times they played the Falcons. Vick is good and will be great but he's not as good as McNabb by a long shot. Falcons had a young fast defense last year but they are only average.

On the rise...they'll go as far as Mike Vick can take them.

With the feet and arm of Michael Vick, they'll be a force to contend with for years to come!

what are these guys doing at #27!?

One word. Michael Vick! They are in the conference championship verus Philly????? HELLO

Michael Vick is an amazing athlete and he's still growing as a quaterback. The Falcons are on their wayup with Vick carrying the load. They are not amazing yet but give them a year or two.

The falcons were good 2 years ago, but they were not able to go anywhere with Jamaal Anderson out.

The team lacks desire. With Anderson's hold out and eventual injury the team is doomed to a sub-par season. Atlantans, bask in last years success because little light is left for this year.

Get Chris Chandler recovered and then they will start winning games again.

The Atlanta Falcons would be a lot better if it were not for injuries this year.

Atlanta is horrible this year without Jamal Anderson.

The Atlanta Falcons must be one of the worst performers of the 99-00 season so far. With the failure of special teams coupled with the loss of key players, the already bleak season looks very dim.

The Superbowl teams from last year lost their respective edges for this season.

At least they had one year of glory!

Atlanta is the greatest! Plus, they knocked the Vikings out of the run for the Super Bowl; that shows some power and determination.

They are off to a bad start, but they will Succede in the end.

What can you say, you know that they were going to be bad soon! Just not this soon.

Stong running, passing + offense, but a bit inconsistent. Chandler is too injury prone.

Had one great season, and that's about it.
