Mike Smith should make the biggest impact. The team was at a very low point with Bobby last season and wanted a fresh face they could respect to coach the team. I also feel Jason Elam and Sam Baker are going to be good fits.

Oh, definitely Petrino put some extra misery on the team last year.
Agreed - looking forward to see Sam Baker in action! :nod:

They have to make some important decisions about who starts at QB and then, if right move - the Falcons will end the season infront of the Panthers :nod:

Why are we aiming to be in front of just Carolina again?

Tampa is easily going to be with us at the bottom of the division.

Vegas has us over/under 4.5 wins and Caroline is over/under 7.5...Like New Orleans, Caroline should bounce back from last season and have a good year.
