How Sean Payton, Tom Brady leaving NFC South impacts Falcons | Falcons Final Whistle

Scott, Tori and Kris discuss major NFC South news and how the Falcons are impacted by Tom Brady’s retirement and Sean Payton stepping away at Saints head coach. How will the divisional race change and should the Falcons do anything different with the division coming back to them? We discuss all that and more in this episode of Falcons Final Whistle. As a listener note, we recorded this episode before Brady made his retirement official, so there is some now outdated discussion of whether he’ll return for one more season.

    Naw

    Mike Smith

    won’t happen with the players and schedule we have next year

    Jt Young

    @Mike Smith how you know the players we’ll have by next season already?

    Mike Smith

    @Jt Young  I know because we don’t have any cap space to sign that many players like we didn’t this year. We won’t have space until Matt, Julio Jones, and Dion Jones contracts come off the books. They are eating up a large portion. We take a 19 million hit with Julio still this coming year, and Matt counts 42 million on our cap this year, so we will be in cap hell for at least 2 more years. I hope that answers your question.

It means we can take the division with a 9-8 record

    The Nation

    9-8 sounds about correct

ATL Joe

Kind of weird fork in the road for the falcons right now. All signs point to we should operate in a win now mindset. But with basically the whole nfc south looking like it’s in a rebuild mode right now do you want to risk falling behind to everyone else in the rebuild 🤔 dam man

TJ Parker

I imagine the falcons going between 1st or 2nd in the division

    Mike Smith

    Players are still the same, so it will be the same for a few years

Foreign Idea

The falcons didn’t necessarily NEED for any of those people to leave the division in order to win it. They just needed better personnel on their own team.

It’s all about Atlanta and Charlotte at this point. Players will be attracted to those cities/teams.

*Chris needs to chill with the hesitation. NFC South is way more talented than the East.

    They also need to learn how to not choke games. I think the Patriots would agree

Nick bagnulo

Make ryans lasts year worth it

Ryan has no WR’s to work with
NO O LINE
A rookie TE
cordarrelle patterson
Gage
NO DEFENSE

Pur any other qb with this line and wr
Same result
Maybe worse

A running qb even needs a p line
Look at fields

BEFORE U GET A QB
make sure
He is in the perfect situation

    kevin dog

    The offensive line it’s actually okay outside of Mayfield. 😁

    Jt Young

    I’ve seen more done with less

    Chadillac0119

    We need a strong pass rusher, a couple offensive lineman, and another elite CB, and I think we’re okay. If we can trade Ridley to the eagles for a 1st maybe pick up a WR.

Nick bagnulo

No more wasted seasons
HOPEFULLY YEAR 1 UNDER SMITH WAS A LEARN CURVE
Evaluation year
Hopefully smith and terry get it right

BE LIKE THE BENGALS

As a Mexican who has followed the NFL for years (25 y/o) if there is ONE TEAM I want to see win the SB is the Falcons- man I just want to see you shine. I saw it with Brady with the Pats, Bucs but there is something to this team and Matt Ryan that just makes me say “please at least once”. I am sure (coming from a Bucs fan) that you will dominate the NFC South if they [Bucs] do not get it right.

Greetings from Mexico!

Jonathan Bell

Without Brady last year I say Falcons would of had 1 to 2 wins and possibly would have been in the playoffs so I’m excited about next season. Rise up as always

Pigskin

Don’t act like Georgia is that much better than Alabama lol. Go outside of Atlanta and Georgia and Alabama are extremely similar, and Atlanta ain’t exactly paradise either.

kevin dog

I was being pretty positive about the falcons making the playoffs. Now we have a high likelihood of going to the super bowl now 😊

    Conservative Cowboy Elections

    Naw you guys will blow your lead long before you guys make it to the super bowl

Ck22

I highly doubt AS and TF are basing their success on whether or not our rivals lose a few contributors…but regardless, you’ve gotta think they feel good about things right now. Everyone’s 0-0 in the playoffs after all, so what matters most is that we’re just able to get there. Rise up

Lord Maul

Absolutely love these podcasts. Keep ‘‘em coming!

Massimiliano Giacometti

Atlanta 13-4

Conservative Cowboy Elections

Falcons going 3rd in the division. Panthers will be better and the Bucs will still be contenders even without Tom and Gronk.

KeAndrezLand

we actually have a chance to enter the playoffs
and Matt Ryan might have a chance also
