I know BNE and many other follow the NFL closer than I do. But, the Falcons...

sure looked like a team that should have played their starting QB and some others in a pre-season game.  

They've got a brutal schedule for the first 10 games.   All teams with winning records (I think) from last season.  

Cousins wasn't sharp, but, still light years ahead of last year.  OL is ass.

I was surprised they didn’t play the starters for at least a half in the preseason..

Wow.  I don't really watch preseason football, so I had no idea, but that is a damn head scratcher.

most of the teams didn't play their starters during preseason.  You can look at the scores and see they were lower as a whole in the first week.
