PrintAtlanta Falcons at New York Jets, Dec 20, 2009 1:00 PM EST
Our dreaming is done.
With the Dallas Cowboys' defeat of the Saints Saturday night, the Falcons are out of the playoff hunt. Somehow, even the slightest mathematical chance makes you believe in miracles, whether it be the odds of survival or the chances of winning the lottery. Being able to close the book on the playoff hopes of this particular ailing squad stings, but it also leaves us with a clear idea of what's at stake with three games remaining. Like many of you, I've spent the last couple of weeks grappling with what the 2009 season has become. Now it's time to apply.
I want that 9-7 record. I know it screws up our draft position, but Falcons fans need this. I need to know that the team we all sink an unhealthy amount of time into each season is capable of rising above its reputation as a laughingstock of the NFL, a team that can never sustain success. I want this King Kong-sized monkey off of our collective backs as soon as possible, and we've got to go through three teams to do it.
So I'm going to hope and pray fervently that we win against the Jets. As a fan, I don't really know how to root for my team to lose, so I'm going to root for them to win. Maybe the odds of them winning out aren't so great, but it's all I have left now. Time to get a move on.
What? Atlanta Falcons at New York Jets, 1 p.m. EST
Where? THE Meadowlands, Somewhere, New Jersey
Weather? There be snow in the forecast. Hopefully our guys play even better (or much better) when the white stuff is flying.
Injuries? We kind of flailed away at this in Saturday's post, but once again Matt Ryan, Michael Turner, John Abraham, and J.J. Birden are all questionable and likely gametime decisions. Chris Houston is doubtful, and so it looks like the Brent Grimes and Chris Owens show will be making its triumphant return this week.
The Jets are getting Mark Sanchez back and are reasonably healthy.
Odds? I don't really have the heart to support your gambling habit today.
Foe? You know how it goes over at Gang Green Nation. Stop by, say hello and politely root against the Jets.
GO FALCONS! Let's ground these Jets!

Said earlier that Turner wants and expects to play. No word on Ryan.

Any chance you’d want to throw up a FanPost sometime this week about the experience?

AJC reporting both Ryan and Turner will start
Not sure I see the point with Turner, unless he’s 100% – which he probably isn’t.
I kind of doubt that either is 100%
If they both survive the game intact I’ll be fairly happy.

Lol
Oh not Anderson, our pass rush will suffer great.. Pfft bwahahahahaaha. Oh man, almost did that with a straight face. Whew.
Yeah however will we manage with Anderson.
Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish — a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow — to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested...Res ipsa loquitur.

Surprisingly
NFL.com shows Zinger as having played in every game, though his only stat is a 7 yard kick return. Rader must be strictly a depth guy, he was only active 1 game this year, didn’t play.
maybe that's because
he (Rader) screwed up last year – that’s when he made his first catch for the team, ran hard toward the goal line but fumbled it away just before crossing the line, with defense recovering the ball…

Van Brocklin's teams still hold that record
The Dutchman’s 1971-73 Falcons were the only time we’ve gone .500 or better, for 3 seasons in a row.
The only other times we’ve done that was 1977-78 (coach Bennett) and 2004-05 (Mora).
wow - I guess we first want to reach win #8
so that we can mark down this as two seasons at .500 or better. I’m hoping we get that done during the Bills game

Predictable
Why do we never try anything like White out of the backfield.
I saw the Bengals and the Texans do it last week, both for touchdowns.
i think norwood/snelling would be good too
at least the Jets would have to think the edge is a possibility

what's really strange about the playcalling there...
is that the entire reason our offense has been such a mess all year is because we can’t run the ball up the middle… we haven’t been able to do it all year. so you get 1st and goal and you… try to run the ball up the middle twice???

Our linebacking corp and Defensive Line interior needs no upgrading. Apart from decoud no-one else should be safe
That includes Abraham
does anyone else feel like if we go down by more than a touchdown here, the game is pretty much lost?
not trying to sound negative, but in every Falcons game you know when that point has come when they’ve blown it, and this just sort of feels like that moment

Wait, with Revis
How come every time Falcons’ corners put their hands up without finding the ball, it’s pass interference, but when Revis does it, it’s great defense? I’m not sure I understand.
when we do that they call it faceguarding
when Revis does that they say – wow look, he wasn;t even looking at the ball!!

exactly
He wasn’t looking at the ball, and he definitely pushed Roddy’s hands down. He’s certainly the best CB in the league if they don’t call any penalties on him.

If this team had given up, they would have let thomas jones run all over them. Yeah, the offense isn’t doing well against a top 3 defense, but it hasn’t been setting the world on fire. There’s still another half and they can pull this out.

What makes this doubly frustrating
Is that BVG is the DC here that runs the same defense that Willie Martinez did at Georgia. If you can’t get pressure with a basic pass rush, it doesn’t work at all. It’s frustrating to me because I’ve watched both of my teams this year give up 3rd and long like it’s nothing because neither team has any semblance of a pass rush. Ugh.

just gotta beat TB next week and i think we’ve got it… hopefully Turner is back for that one, which i would think he would be.

this has nothing to do with this game but
the Browns RB Harrison just had his 3 TD against KC as he ran for 286!!!!! yards

the funny thing is that
they put up 491 yrds against the Browns on offense, and give only 66 (!!!) passing yards to Quinn with 2 INTs, but give up 351 rush yards.

If Norwood leaves, as I expect, Harrison would be a perfect replacement. He’s lightning fast, runs hard and can block a little.

he nearly doubled his season output with this game – were the chiefs simply horrible or did it have something to do with poor offensive line play by the Browns in other games? I mean how good of a runner this Harrison really is?

If someone told me after that bomb by Sanchez that we win scoring only 10 points I wouldn’t believe. now again, I wouldn’t believe if someone told me we held #1 rushing attack to 7 points!
