The Falcons are hoping to once again meet expectations and hope to make the playoffs once again. With some new additions and a new quarterback change, it can be a whole new era for Atlanta.

The Falcons must make sure Michael Penix Jr. is comfortable in the offense and can thrive. As it is only his first season as a full-time starter there will be some growing pains, and some potential inexperienced mistakes.

With Penix behind center and a healthy offensive line, this offense can thrive with the production of star running back Bijan Robinson and star wide receiver Drake London. Both put up their best seasons in 2024 and will look to improve even more as they continue to grow as players.

The defense is the most important part of this team if they want to win games. With how well they did in the draft and how they were able to fill the gaps in the defense, it will be a change for the Falcons as they have had some bad defenses in the past few years. Bottom five in both sacks and interceptions.

The Falcons have a lot of work to do this season with still some concerns about Kirk Cousins' contract and the deal on if Kyle Pitts will be on the roster, but they will need to work it all out for a successful season. They also have a very young and talented team that could make some noise this upcoming season, and they have all the tools to be a sleeper team this season.
