Are they ready?
Because they didn’t look ready the other night when they got whacked by a team projected to win seven games, albeit in an exhibition.
They didn’t seem ready when the starting quarterback (Matt Ryan) threw a red zone interception disturbingly similar to ones he threw last season.
They don’t feel ready, not with this year’s first-round pick (Keanu Neal) expected to miss at least two games, and last year’s first-round pick (Vic Beasley) looking ordinary and the 36-year-old designated pass rusher (Dwight Freeney) already feeling back aches.
Overreaction? Maybe.
Justified?
