Falcons Sprint Game Ball Of The Week: The Offensive Line

PrintIt's time to hand out the game ball for the week, and I'm switching up my pick from a day ago. I know! Shocking.
I felt like I needed to give the offensive line its due. They've allowed only two sacks in the last four weeks—both against a nasty Baltimore Ravens front seven—and they kept Ryan on his feet all day long against a quality Rams pass rush. Suddenly, the widely reviled Sam Baker is protecting his quarterback's blindside, and we're all better for it.
That's why the offensive line gets the Sprint Game Ball of the Week. Feel free to argue.

Ya know what?
If the bucks lose to the Ravens at the Ravens home field and the Saints lose to Dallas then we are going to sit pretty.I guess this is obvious.Over at NFL they have the Cons picked as no one by three out of five.Third on one and the other dude is delusional.
Unfortunately
I think the Bucs may win at Baltimore for some reason and force Flacco into some bad throws. I could be wrong though.
The Saints may be able the exploit the Cowboys secondary.

I gave LaCanfora static about this on Twitter.
He replied, “I’m a rabble rouser. What can I say?”
Let me translate. This means, “The Falcons beat the Ravens and it makes me cranky and sad, and since I am paid to pretend to be objective, ranking the Falcons 8th is the only way I can make myself feel better about it!”

LaCanfora's not even vaguely objective
He loves the Saints and he truly believes that the regular season doesn’t matter, because the Saints are going to win it all. I’d admire his moxie if it wasn’t such a dumb approach to power rankings.

Good thing his power rankings don't grant special powers.

I guess
the Media views us similiar to how we view the Bucs: Not seriously.

I like it
The only other person who could deserve it is Matty Ice himself. I like the O-Line call for game ball though. Not only did they keep Matty up all day, but the let Michael Turner grind out 125+ on the ground as well.
Lets hope we're handing them another game ball come Sunday. . .
if we manage to win this one, God knows they will have earned it
