We like to lose games unexpectedly. We’re fail ninjas.

We’re going to come out fired up and wanting to make someone pay for the last couple of weeks, but you guys can put a stop to us if you concentrate on knocking Matt Ryan off balance and putting together slow, methodical drives that eat up a lot of time. I’ve learned not to predict blowouts, lest the Football Gods strike me down.

nothing. Hard to blame him.

I’m concerned about you getting pressure on Matt Ryan, throwing off his rhythm and forcing him to make some bad throws. We don’t tend to win games where he has trouble.

On the defensive side, as weird as this might sound, I’m worried about Fred Davis. We don’t typically defend well against tight ends and the kid looks like he can flat-out catch.

I believe the Redskins can beat NO

on so many levels!!!!!

A fan intelligent question

But our corners aren’t so much woeful as they are undersized. If you want to see something truly impressive, watch corner Brent Grimes pick off a Drew Brees pass this week. He gets like six feet of air.

The guy you’ll want to pick on, most likely, is Chevis Jackson. He’s still learning this whole starting thing.

Mike Smith is a good coach with a good set of coordinators below him. We’ve drafted exceptionally well and brought in talent, which also speaks well to General Manager Thomas Dimitroff. He’s been an absolute godsend. This team is doing more or less everything better than they have in years past, and it’s a joy to behold.

You’ll need to stop Matt Ryan’s passing and slow down John Abraham to keep it going in this one. Abe’s had a subpar year, rushing the passer wise, and he’ll be chomping at the bit to get to Campbell.

Biggest single threat that you might not know about is Eric Weems. Great kick returner, solid punt returner and a guy who can be dangerous in the receiving game. We’ll see what happens this weekend.

I read that Atlanta are sometimes dropping Abraham into pass coverage instead of rushing him on every down, PLEASE GOD LET ATLANTA CONTINUE THIS TREND THIS WEEK

btw i’ll take the overs, if you allow me to incule 5 QB pressures as 1 Sack

then it will be 2.5 sacks and 8 QB pressures

At the end of the day, just having him in there is a boost for us.

No.

The Falcons are getting used to playing teams coming off bye weeks (Bears WK5, Dallas WK6, Redskins WK8, Giants WK10). Saying that, is kinda like saying “We’re getting used to getting punched in the face”. (even if your used to it, your still getting punched in the face) You add in WK7 @ NO, and WK9 @ Giants; that equals a real crappy schedule. We’re hurting (just look at the mid-week injury report), tired (from all those “fresh” teams lately), and kinda in low spirits (first time we have lost back to back games since the new regime and QB has taken over). So your definitely catching us at a good time for an upset, especially considering we are at your place. I may be alone here, but I’m just not sure we have the “raw emotions” needed to come out and attack you guys like we should. I think we as Falcons fans understand more than anyone how a team that looks horrible on paper can actually be head and shoulders better than the record or play indicates. Dimitroff, Smith and Ryan absolutely made this organization better, but there was a good team hiding behind all those M Vick/Petrino stories a couple years ago. I guess what I’m getting at is this: I believe you guys are much better than you look, and I might (don’t laugh) actually be more afraid of this game than last weeks against NO. We pretty much knew we would have to play a perfect game against the Saints to win, and almost did. Our guys have a tendency to play to the level of competition a bit, and if we play to to the level your record indicates, we’re in trouble. — I think at this point most Falcons fans are waiting for the bottom to fall out (45+ years of not having back to back winning seasons) and believe very much in Murphy’s Law when it come to our beloved team.
