Falcons are slow. Other than Julio Jones none of there offensive skill set players are fast.
Tony G is like 54 and moves so slow. Roddy White is hobbled by a high ankle sprain and those injuries take up to a month or 2 for full recovery.. Harry Douglas is a speedster no doubt so I'll take that back. Sjax was so slow that game it wasn't even funny, My gawd the old work horse.. If it wasn't for that 50 yarder his numbers would have been much worse.
Matt Ryan was a dink and dunk machine last time we played them in Stlouis.. He isn't going to go Russel Wilson on us in the pocket so that's a good thing.. I remember in that game White was destroying us with the short stuff, It felt like he had 15 catches for 70 yards :lol: :lol: ...
But that's not the point.. They are a veteran team who are elite. They are so disciplined that speed does not matter, They'll break you down with the short stuff then go long once in a while. The Falcons are an elite team and probably a top 3 team in the NFC. They are no joke at home and will be looking for blood come sunday.
I'll give us a 30% chance of winning homerism asidThey are that good and we don't know how we'll fare on the road. I would have rather played them week 1 to be honest, Our schedule is a tough Son of a bitch. We literally have to go out there and kick ass.
The only positive that I have read from there forum is that they have a weak Oline. Plus San Fran went in there and smacked them up and so did the Shehawks. We can handle those beast :lol: :lol: But seem to not find our groove with other opponents. Same thing happened last year @Mia, @Det, @Chi and vs New England.
I have faith in Fish and Co, But this is more about the Falcons being better. I'll be rooting for a win! It's possible. But I don't want to set my self up for a disappointment. Plus this isn't the playoffs so we can't hope to see Matt Ryan choke ;p
Dude is one of the biggest playoff chockers I have ever seen in my life. Got his assss handed to him by Arizona, Greenbay, Shehawks(escaped) and the Niners. Matt Ryan in the regular season is a Samson. But come playoff time he's a bald Samson lol.
