Atlanta Falcons vs. Miami Dolphins Open Thread

Time to kick off a season watching a team with vast potential. Sounds like a good time to me.
Obviously, I strongly encourage all of you to obsess over every single play and offer your analysis as the game runs, and I hope you'll take advantage of that. As usual, I'll be working, but with a little luck I'll be able to catch most of the game and chat with all of you. Here's hoping for a great game, though I'd settle for the Falcons absolutely blowing the Dolphins out of the water.
Come along with me as we break it down, won't you?
Who? Atlanta Falcons and Miami Dolphins, 1 p.m. EST
Where? Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Georgia
Weather? There's no weather in a dome, dum-dum.
Fun Fact? This is the first game of the 2009 season. That is awesome and fun. And also a fact. There you go.
Injuries? William Moore is the only guy who is certainly out, so we won't get any chances to see him blow up runners this week. Alas. Everyone else is probable, including John Abraham and Jerious Norwood, and I expect everybody will play. The Dolphins listed Vontae Davis as probable, so we'll likely see the talented young cornerback out there today. I'm less thrilled with that.
Odds? Atlanta over Miami 4.0, O/U 43.5
Foe? Friendly neighborhood Dolphins blogger Matty I will have everything you need at The Phinsider. Visit, because it'll be worth a read, but please be as respectful as always if you wade into the game thread.
GO FALCONS! Let's sink these Dolphins!

Today we begin our journey!
I have been waiting for this since we left Arizona. I will try my best to keep with the thread while being the only Falcons fan in a sports bar in Norfolk, VA
GO FALCONS!!!

anyone have a link? Of course, the one time that they don’t broadcast the Fins game in Orlando, the Fins are playing the Falcons. I’m getting the Bucs and Jags instead.

I live in Chesapeake.
If I had a nickel for everytime someone told me I should shutup, I'd probably have 5 or 6 bucks.

I just like how they have it set up, tv’s on one side, seats on the other. So I can watch all the games.
I will be there in my Burner Turner jersey, if you come out. My name is Dave

This isn't a pass happy offense like the Dolphins are used to seeing in the AFC east...
Y’all keep sending Taylor and Porter upfield with reckless abandon and Turner will wave as he passes by them with the rock…
I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I only lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.

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.

If it's a significant issue or possible injury
Sign Brandon Coutu, the kid with the rocket leg, and let Elam rest.

I’m pretty sure Elam just wants to keep the score at 16-0 to predict the upcoming season.

The front seven has done exactly what we've needed
Constant pressure and rage-filled hits. If they can do this all season long, suddenly the secondary looks not so bad.

I wonder if Matt Bryant has signed with anybody yet.

I'd rather have Coutu
Bryant’s a hothead, and I think Coutu’s the better kicker. Has he signed anywhere?

You guys will have to fill me in a little on earlier
But looking at these numbers, it’s easy to see how the Falcons can win without Turner: stifling defense and a quality game from Matt Ryan.

missed a couple of open receivers for probable TD’s eraly on. He has spread the ball around well though.
D has looked pretty good overall. stuffed the wildcat multiple times.

Absolutely
Game ball arguably goes to the entire front seven. That’s what Mike Smith and BVG were looking for, rush the QB big time, hide defensive secondary problems. It helps that Chad Pennington doesn’t have a big arm. Pennington may have been more accurate, but Ryan ran his offense more efficiently.
We weren’t dominant on offense, but we proved that we can win even if Turner isn’t burning.

Pick up? I usually associate a “pick up” from grabbing off the wires vs a draft pick. So I’m sure you meant he was a good draft pick from 2 years ago. Correct?

Bravo to the Defense, Bravo.
Peterson, Lofton, Bierman, Gonzalez all had an outstanding game. Glad we got Mughelli, Norwood more involved in passing. Of course what’s wrong with Elam?

rib injury on Peria
he walked off the field so hopefully it’s not bad. McNabb on the other hand, broke a rib.. ouch

Fantastic game !
Falcons D was awesome !
Tony G was key !
Beer Man and the Prophet Abraham had 2 sacks each
Williams’ fumble return was the game’s turning point
As if we didn’t have enough options, TD pass to FB was nice
Holding Miami to 7 points – wow
Wildcat formation was tamed by Falcons defense :)

Beer Man...
I love the idea of Kroy Biermann doing his postgame speeches in character as Duff Man from the Simpsons.
“Beer Man had two sacks…OH YES!”
