Atlanta

Granted, but our running game can work against their defense.

 

4-13 in that building. That includes a three game winning streak from 05-07. We have gone in there with much better teams than theirs and gotten beat. They made Kerry Collins quit. Vick seemed to levitate into the end zone for over 10 yards. Moose runs the wrong route in OT and we get picked. Three games we didn't even score a TD (we actually won one of them). So while I normally give into 'fan optimism', I am not going to do that this year.

They are +10 in turnover margin. We have no answer for their TE. They will pick on Norman with either White or Jones. We can't generate a consistent pass rush.

I really hope I am wrong, but I just don't see how we stay in the game with them. Although, I have atteneded all 17 games in this building and am NOT going this year...so maybe we do have a shot. If we win, you guys can blame the last 17 years on me.

 

Because I say so.

 

Which running game? The one where we dick around and let them penetrate by the time we finally hand it off, or the one we never use any more?

 

The Falcons don't have Jason Pierre-Paul.

 

Point taken, and we had a 2nd stringer in. But, TB didn't have him either.

 

DeAngelo actually got 4.5 a carry vs NYG. Just got way too far behind to get committed to it. I'm convinced that the Tampa game was an anomaly.

 

I am aiming more at our OC than anything else, with the which running game thought. I do not like what he's been doing this year, at all.

 

We cant stop the run.

We lose.

I usually take B&B's position in these situations - away games when we're the dog work well for our team. Not this year, I'm afraid.

Fantasy tip - play any RB starting against Carolina or NO.

 

I didn't say we would win. I said we'd be in it. A win wouldn't shock me, though.
