Atlanta Falcons And Jacksonville Jaguars Open Thread

Atlanta Falcons at Jacksonville Jaguars, Sep 2, 2010 7:30 PM EDT


The final game of the pre-season is also the final proving grounds for many Falcons.

You'll see your fair share of roster spots decided before this one is even over, so take in one more performance from some of your favorite undrafted free agents tonight. It's also a chance for the entire team to trot out a vaguely regular season-like performance, so half the fans don't go into a panic because oh my god we only gained two yards on that run! And so forth.

It doesn't hurt that the Falcons are up against a pretty tough team. The Jaguars have a decent defense and a burgeoning offense, which is thankfully minus human bowling ball Maurice-Jones Drew. It should be a good opportunity to get things ready for the Steelers, though David Garrard is (roughly) six million times more mobile than Byron Leftwich.

As always, this is your game discussion thread. I'll see you guys there!

Star-divide

Who? Atlanta Falcons at Jacksonville Jaguars, 7:30 p.m. ET

Where? Everbank Stadium, Jacksonville, Florida

Weather? Going to be a warm one. And hey, there's always the possibility a hurricane hits. Best chance John Parker Wilson has of throwing a 50 yard pass.

Injuries? Aside from holding guys out for an abundance of caution, nobody should be missing this game. Final tune-up, folks.

Jaguars will be missing Maurice Jones-Drew, which should make life easier for the Falcons.

Foe? Visit Big Cat Country. It's our Jacksonville Jaguars site, and a damn good one. 

GO FALCONS! Let's pounce on these Jaguars!
