Poor, poor Falcons....

They have to go, ON THE ROAD, against the #1 and #2 teams (according to the latest ESPN Power polls), starting this Sunday. First the Broncos, then a rested and healed Seahawks team. The two top defenses IMO. I think this will be a pretty good litmus test for the Falcons, hmmm?
Pretty sure the Broncos will tenderize 'em a bit for us.... :twisted: :mrgreen:

We owe them for 2012 and they can suck a brontosaurus.

They are staying on the West coast after the Denver game and actually requested it to be back to back

Should help them

Guess what coach learned from Seattle playing Washington then Atlanta in the playoffs ....

I'm going to assume you meant 2012. Those keys are right next to each other after all...

Should help them my ass. I'm predicting his joy will subside with back-to-back losses.... At least that's where I'd put my money...

If the Falcons lose to the Broncos, there is a good chance they lose to us, either way they will be beat up by that defense, and then they will come here and play against another physical defense. Falcons will have to try and run the ball and not throw all over the place. I'm thinking our guys will be ready for the pass attack. This team has two weeks to prepare for them. Their defense we can score on, it's whether their offense can score on us that's the question.

Atls defense is atrocious. Denver prior week or not. Our offense is gonna explode. Even if that Atl offense has some success vs our D. We should win.

I am looking forward to watching them against the Broncos. That is going to be a great test of where they are really at. If they can keep it close I will be impressed.

This is going to be an easy win in spite of my typo. (phone).

We will score 30+ on that D.

They might get to 20 against us on a good day.

We knew what ya meant. You don't hold the trophy for typo's by any means...

How much would we need to give Aquib Talib to dive low at Julio Jones? He seems like the venal type.

A Sherman vs Julio matchup would be awesome to watch imo. I'd rather see them at full strength. We don't want them to have any excuses after a loss

Excellent matchup. Julio will get some yards but Sherman will contain him. I'm hoping Ryan "goes to the well" one too many times also!

That's what I'm thinking. Our rested offense is going to air it out against them and I think Wilson could break 400 yards.

If the Hawks put up 27 with banged up guys just think in 2 weeks how healthy and vicious we're going to be!

Here's a little preview to my post. But apparently, the seriousness of their situation hasn't quite sunk in yet...

I would argue that the Falcons prepared us for the SuperBowl.

Now we do 'owe' them for stealing our DC, but if not them someone else would have.

Couldn't agree with you more. Yeah, they kinda "Lucked" the win, but yeah... I'm not sure if I could go back in time and change that Atlanta game to a win, if I would do it. Because I think that loss did exactly what you said... Handed us SB48!

Sure, pull up a couch and stay a while. We will even give you a private tour guide, and his name is Ezekiel Elliott. :twisted:

Hmmm.. we've seen an offense like that before..wait, we've seen a defense like that before as well.
