Atlanta Falcons: Previewing Their 2017 Opponents
By Kit Anderson
@New York Jets
If the Falcons cannot manage to win this game then you will know that something has gone horribly wrong with the Falcons. Start Matt Schaub or rest Julio Jones and the Falcons should still beat a franchise that has started to become laughable.
With two young quarterbacks on the roster the Jets had the bright idea of signing Josh McCown to compete for the starting job as well. If you have to sign a starter that the Browns had and no longer wanted that is a good indication that something isn’t right. It has seemed as if ever since the infamous “butt fumble” and Mark Sanchez departed soon thereafter that this team cannot figure out what direction to go in.
This off-season they have dedicated themselves to a full rebuild it seems cutting their most expensive and talented players in favor of younger and cheaper options. The Jets are making the right decision to rebuild considering that after seeming on the edge of contention their utter and complete collapse. Drafting a quarterback still could not be out of the question though it would likely mean cutting on the quarterbacks on their current roster.
No matter the direction that the Jets decide to go in their roster and team seems to be in a mess that the Falcons will be more than happy to take advantage of with a W.
