PrintWashington Redskins at Atlanta Falcons, Nov 8, 2009 1:00 PM EST
May our foes be swiftly dispatched, may our stats runneth over like wine, and may we walk away with a victory today. Amen.
Last week we hit a record number of comments for the game thread, so let's see if we can keep that good juju going. Hit the comments hard and I'll see you there.
What? Atlanta Falcons vs. Washington Redskins, 1:00 p.m. ET
Where? Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia
Weather? You've got a better chance of seeing flying Coke glasses than you do rain.
Fun Fact? At 1 a.m., following close to four hours of driving, Dave the Falconer is incapable of thinking of fun facts. If you have a good one, mention it and I'll move it up here.
Injuries? We've got a host of 'em. Jerious Norwood is listed as questionable, but he's clearly out, and Thomas Johnson is likely warming the bench with him. There are a ton of questionables, ranging from Eric Weems (!) to Jason Snelling, but most of them will probably play today.
The Redskins will be missing punter Hunter Smith and tight end Chris Cooley, as well as cornerback Byron Westbrook. S Chris Horton and linebacker H.B. Blades are questionable.
Odds? Atlanta over Washington, 8.5, O/U 41.0
Foe? Be sure to visit the fine folks at Hogs Haven today and see what they have to say.
GO FALCONS! Let's beat the Redskins!

STRICTLY BUSINESS!
For the rest of he season its business. lets go out there and execute today no more steps backwards. time to handle our biz. lets get a win today.
A good team
consistently beats the teams they’re supposed to beat. A dominating win would be just what the doctor ordered.
Ant loss would be a bad loss...
There are no moral victories this week. Brutality in the trenches is the deciding factor.
How many more days, Lord, must I walk through the wilderness?
GO FALCONS!!!
Anyone know of an online game feed?
Reporter: How will you address all of the dropped passes?
Mike Smith: I don’t think that we were as sharp as we have been catching the football. It’s something that is very fixable. It’s VERY fixable.
Impressive drive
against a very underrated Skins defense. It’s their offense that’s killed them this year.
Redskins D is looking downright sorry right now
If Atlanta keeps this up, it’s gonna be a great game.
Sorry I am late
How is everyone? Lets hope a trend of Scoring on the opening drive, and losing does not become a trend.
Initial scoring drives
can be deceiving, they usually script the first X number of plays, don’t they?
its hard to dress up and be funny when you are not doing well
You see how Ochocinco is being funny. Its because they are winning
Picked up Falcons D just for today.
I expect 3 sacks 2 picks MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE A TD.
But Man. I LOVED our defense on some (Most) Plays against the… Saints… So if they put up a strong game again (Which should be easy) Maybe it will be a defensive momentum shift.
Do you guys think Turner will much of a factor this game?
Compared to his performances earlier in the season?
Imagine how much they would make
If you could go on NFL and customize your own little Robot. Imagine smacking a Falcons Helmet and Turner Jersey on that. Id buy one.

And a holding penalty on top of that, rough break for the Redskins. Hope Portis is okay though.

I think Matt is trying to live up to what the media is saying about him
So he is trying to force this plays. He needs to relax, us Falcons fans would like him more if he made less mistakes

He’s an unnaturally good quarterback for his age and will only improve, plus his contribution to the team goes beyond what can be reflected in his individual stats.

One last point about Matty
Don’t forget he’s young, there’s a learning curve to go through. Physical skill + brains + experience = Joe Montana.

bierman still bringing it strong
and babs is making a strong bid for probowl
Actually I wanted to discuss this at halftime-
Sean Smith was a 6-3 Corner.. I thought we shouldve nabbed him in the first…
Would he have made a impact do you think? I know Peria was good—Great but weve filled in for him…
i see what you mean
but i like trying to build a team around dominance at the line of scrimmage, i think the lines must take priority
Smith is talented and would've been a good choice
But we are where we are, and our secondary is better than I thought it would be.

Play the Falcons if you want to look good, just like the Braves, Geez, my teams can surely stink at times...

1 good, long scoring drive
and this game is over
Time to put a nail in the coffin
Or several. We’ve really let them hang around this game.

Yep, a turnover would just about seal the deal...

In my mind, because we traded a 7th Rounder for Hill
He is the equivilent to that. But since that pick it too has made me think differently of him.

if he can make big plays like that often, he will be worth much more than that.

Hey guys
Have you talked any about how much they’re abusing Mike Peterson in pass coverage? I haven’t read thru the thread…

I'm wondering
Why the huge difference the last few games from the first few, when he was everywhere. He’s not supposed to be hurt, is he?

Burn baby burn!
Haven’t been able to watch the game today- I’m getting AZ-CHI (and now GB-TB) even though the 501.com’s map said I was supposed to be seeing this one on the Nashville Fox affiliate. I hate them sometimes, because they don’t like our Birds. Anyway, is Turner a beast or what today?
BEAST MODE!

On the replay
the announcers noted DeAngelo’s missed tackle on Turner. He sure cost the Falcons points enough times!
Good thing Turner decided to run the same time Ryan decided to slump (not a hater but there's something definately wrong)

It'll be fine

Yeah
It’s just so odd to me that people think that Ryan has fallen off some cliff. Maybe he got lucky from time to time last year, maybe some of his timidity has gone out the window, but he’s our franchise QB, not some random FA addition. Gotta give him some room to grow.

Keep in mind Ryan's only in his second year
and people have been stuffing the box all year to stop Turner. We are still a very young team who has managed to overachieve well beyond their talent level. We have a great foundation but it will take a little time for everything to come together.
NO! NO! NO!
Matty Ice is a deity, he doesn’t make mistakes.

If they would have just tired to run it at us they probably would have made it
Maybe
Daniel Snyder will fire Sherman Lewis this week and let somebody else call the plays.

Turner for 8
He’s putting forth much more 2nd effort the last couple of games. Somebody lit a fuse under him.
C'mon
Josh Freeman – take out GB for us! Fight you creamsicle pops!

Freeman looks decent for a guy who recently consumed an entire Tim Horton’s.
