PrintAtlanta Falcons at San Diego Chargers, Nov 30, 2008 4:05 PM EST
I'm nearly out of ways to say that this should be a quality, exciting game that is important for the Falcons' playoff hopes. Let's just go with "this should be a quality, exciting game that is important for the Falcons' playoff hopes." I think that covers it.
Everything you need to know is after the jump, and be sure to check out SB Nation's new NFL portal. Nifty icon, activate!
Who? Atlanta Falcons at San Diego Chargers, 4:05 p.m. ET
Where? Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, California
Weather? Sunny as the surface of the sun.
Fun Fact? I heard Michael Turner used to play for the Chargers. Can anyone confirm this?
Injuries? Big ups to the official site, which tells us that T Sam Baker and WR Laurent Robinson are out. DE John Abraham, LB Keith Brooking, K Jason Elam, WR Brian Finneran, CB Brent Grimes, DT Grady Jackson, T Todd Weiner and WR Roddy White are all questionable, plus a couple others. The Chargers have DE Keith Grennan FB Mike Tolbert listed as doubtful, with a few other probables.
Odds? San Diego over Atlanta 5.0 (?), O/U 49
Foe? That'd be Bolts From The Blue, our network's fine Chargers site and steward of the fanbase that will hopefully be less happy with the outcome of this game.
GO FALCONS! Let's employ spike traps to slow these Chargers!

WoW
Isn’t that a big list of injuries for today’s game? If injuries don’t kill the winning spirit of this team i still see a victory and a possible 3 way tie for the division lead.
It's a big list
But they’re sticklers for putting anybody with an injury on there. You’ll see most of them play, I suspect.
Sheesh!
Even with all those injuries, our outlook is better than Plaxico Burress, the NFL’s version of Britney Spears. Bet he goes into rehab, to try to beat jail time.
They try to make Plax go to rehab
He will go, go, go
Yes, he shot himself
Now he’s on the shelf
Dumb, dumb ass
Not Britney
Human train wreck and Grammy winner Amy Winehouse!
And all such videos have been burned.
I really hope the Bucs don't win
If the Panthers and Bucs would have the common courtesy to lose, we’d be right up there in the standings with them. Dratted bollocks.
Today's inactives
from NFL.com…
Falcons: QB D.J. Shockley (3rd), WR Laurent Robinson, CB Brent Grimes, DB Jamaal Fudge, LB Tony Gilbert, C Ben Wilkerson, T Sam Baker, DE Simon Fraser.
Chargers: QB Charlie Whitehurst (3rd), DB Paul Oliver, RB Michael Bennett, FB Mike Tolbert, G Kris Dielman, T Corey Clark, FB Kris Wilson, LB Antwan Applewhite.
Selfish
Doesn’t he understand that people are depending on him!?!?!?
"He's getting better, but he's not there yet ..."
Going to have to watch out
Tomlinson still catches a lot of passes. He could be dangerous on screens.
What's up guys!!!
Today I’m a HUGE Falcoholic!!!
I hope Turner is motivated to destroy the family that abandoned him.
GO FALCONS!
GO BRONCOS!!!

Regarding the Coach of Who We Don't Speak..
Of all the bad things to come from the evil one’s reign of terror last year, one undeniable truth came from it. Roddy White became a better player b/c of it.

Rowdy Roddy seems back on form...but this is the first play for the Falcons O, right?

I am more worried about the vikings
they can are so on and off that its hard to tell which kind of team they will be from week to week
The Vikings scare me a little
But they’ve proven time and time again that any team can beat them on a given week. I still like the Falcons.

Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

Did Norv Turner give Mike Carey a little X-mas bonus before the game or something??

Of course
they’ll get the spot.

Crud.
At least Jamaal Anderson made him pay for the completion.

Mike Carey’s mustache must be interfering with his vision.

Mike Carey's Mustache
views itself as a separate entity from Mike Carey, so it has no qualms with betting on games. It also is not above using its connections to influence said games.
Fieldgoal fake, probably.

Okay, we must drive the time off the clock and get no less than 3 points here

Give the ball to Norwood.
"The nice thing about supporting a bedraggled-cum-decent team? Watching all those analysts eat their words."
Just run the clock out
this game can be run out if turner and norwood do their jobs
Matt gizflimming Ryan.
I want the ball in his hands. Keep them off balance with play action.

Nail them to the post
its time to run the time and own the game and the REF’s
Turner should just walk back to the huddle with the ball
Otherwise, he may be credited with another fumble.
Ouch
They stopped him. We’re going to punt it, but I’m nervous giving San Diego the ball back.

Ryan sneak.
Do it. Gotta rest the D.

WHO WAS IT THAT SAID BABS WOULDN’T GET ANY SACKS TODAY?!
"He's getting better, but he's not there yet ..."
Hrm...
It was pretty clearly Babs, although Abe did have the first hand on him. I’d credit Abe with 1/4 of the sack.

Huh
Who said we’d need to have three or more sacks to win today?
Or, what has two thumbs and told you so? Dave the Falconer!
If we win
Don’t we move to the wild card slot? I’m pretty sure we have the conference tie-breaker over Dallas.

Last I saw
we were just out of the last wild card spot. What’s the first tiebreaker, conference win % ?
I think so.
Dallas holds the spot at 8-4. We’ll be 8-4. And hold the tiebreaker.

You know...
people are going to say a lot about SD’s 3 takeaways, but the truth is Mike Carey’s Mustache has two forced fumbles.
I think just one will do.

"Prior to the snap...
Illegal obstruction of the LT. On the Defense. San Diego will be awarded 21 points. The game is over."
Great win on the road
Could have done without the turnovers, but Smitty will get them back to work this week on that.

What was that one...
There was some rap song from a good many years ago where near the end, the guy spelled out Atlanta.
Great Game
we beat the chargers and the REF’s
So,
if the season ended today, wouldn’t that put us in the playoffs at the wild card spot?
