Unshaven, unwashed and generally disheveled, I return in time for the game against mighty tenacious Oakland. Sitting at 4-3, the Falcons could use a win to boost themselves over last year's total with only half their slate of games completed. I'm excited to see what the team can do, particularly if Michael Turner gets back on track.
Join me after the jump as we get some excitement going for our resurgent Falcons.
Who? Atlanta Falcons at Oakland Raiders, 4:15 p.m. ET
Where? McAfee Coliseum, Oakland, California
Weather? Where the skies stay cloudy all day....
Fun Fact? The Falcons will face former CB DeAngelo Hall and should have faced former FB Justin Griffith, but the latter is down with a season-ending injury. The Falcons' performance against Hall will likely swing the outcome of this game, given that Roddy White is as likely as he'll ever be to end up locked down this weekend.
Injuries? OT Sam Baker is out for the Falcons, and *deep breath* Jamaal Anderson, Michael Boley, Brent Grimes, Grady Jackson, Jerious Norwood, Stephen Nicholas, Laurent Robinson and Todd Weiner are questionable. I expect Boley, Grimes, Norwood, Nicholas and Weiner to suit up. The Raiders have LB Jon Alston, LB Ricky Brown, DE Derrick Burgess, and RB Darren McFadden listed as doubtful.
Odds? Atlanta over Oakland, 2.5, Over/Under 41.5
Foe? saint of Silver and Black Pride, who has graciously put up a FanPost for those of you who have questions about the Raiders. Be sure to give his site a visit.
GO FALCONS! Let's raid Oakland!

Question is
Does Oakland go for it, given their field position?

Wow, nice job Lofton

Ok, Falcons, the rush is getting keyed. Go to the air.

I have a personal line
to Smith. He listens to me when I’m not stroking his ego.

Looks like
they are experimenting with the running game a bit

I still say that “Wild Bird/Falcon” thing should be put away. It’s not even gotten a first down yet, has it?

So the Falcons have turned anemic near the tail end of this game when the past few games, they’ve done just the opposite.

Playing it safe
Not sure if it’s a matter of going ineffective so much as the Raiders waking up a little, and the coaches wanting to run clock.

Missed field goal
Really, the Falcons could have put up a lot more points than this, but they’re still winning by 24. If the defense makes a couple more stops, we’re walking out of here very happy.
Speaking of walking out, I’ve gotta run. You crazy kids hold down the fort while I’m gone.

Another first down.

And it’ll probably stay that way. Jeez, the falcons have just looked terrible against that rush. That OL needs to be tightened.

Blocked punt?
Shit happens but come on! Good field position too. Must have jinxed them with the crazy shutout talk.

Tonight’s episode has an election parody that is really funny, if there’s any fans out there.

Time for substitutions?
When do the subs start coming in? Nervous for Ryan, Turner etc.

We have some serious depth at RB. A bit like the G-men with their three prong rush attack.

No drop off
with Snelling in for Turner, they’re chewing up the clock in fine fashion.

What a way to snap back
after that fiasco in Philly. A shutout after a hard dealt game shifting call against the Eagles. Fantastic guys. 3 home games to go. Let’s end this next stretch 8-3.

To Meangelo
How’s my ass taste?? This game once again proved that while he might be the best athlete on the field, he is far from a good CB. He gets consistently burned by average receivers and then runs his mouth to top it off. Oakland can have him.
