didn't see the game

I live in portland oregon so i dont get to see my falcons much but from everything i have read i have high hopes for this team and expect the Bucs to fold this weekend. Falcons27-13.
I think the falcons can win out most of the divisional games and a few more outside the division. I expect the division championship will be easier than a wildcard spot this year and the falcons have the chemistry to make teams wonder how they underestimated the falcons so badly. I just hope the team as a whole stays healthy. I do worry that our team seems a little bit thin. We may not have the quality back ups in vital positions that would take us all the way thru the season. let alone if we make it into the playoffs.

Bucs Game

As for the game this weekend, I think the Falcons are riding a wave of confidence which will hopefully carry over Sunday. The Bucs are going to be looking to bounce back from their loss to New Orleans by making sure they do not fall to 0-2 in the division. If Brooks is out, and with Griese starting under center I think it will be interesting how the game plays out. We made it through week one relatively injury free, and it will be very nice to see how our boys up front take on the front 7 of Tampa Bay. If we can open holes half the size of those against the Lions I think that we’ll at least have 200 yards on the ground. 120 – 130 from Turner and 70 – 80 from Norwood. I to would like to see Roddy become more active in the offense, but in this run first mentality he will definately see some ball come his way. Look at the homerun Ryan threw on the play fake to Jenkins. The Big Play is there, it just didn’t happen last week. I’m loving the fact that they are moving Abraham around giving him more opportunity to reach the QB. Griese is not a mobile QB and TB is starting some young linemen. I look to the Abraham (and maybe Anderson… well, i’ll keep me fingers crossed and think happy thoughts) to have a big day. If he stays healthy (iffy) then he will have a fantastic year. Anyways enough from me, any other thougts? How do y’all think Ryan will handle the Original Tampa 2?

If my mother put on a helmet and shoulder pads and a uniform that wasn't the same as the one I was wearing, I'd run over her if she was in my way. And I love my mother.

ryan

is far more mature than many think. idk he might be able to cut this d up almost as easily. as long as turner is running the ball like that anything is possible.
