The Atlanta Falcons have winged their way cross country to shut down the Chargers. That's the hope, anyways.

Now that it's gametime at last, it's time to camp out on your piece of furniture of choice and crack open a cold one, whether that be a beer or a soda. Do whatever you must, in other words, to prepare for the game.

A quick word on record: As I mentioned last night, this is a chance for the Falcons to go 3-0 for the first time in eight years. Consider that their next matchup is the Panthers in the Georgia Dome and the Saints and Buccaneers have their own struggles, and you can see why it's important to build up an intimidating lead early.

Use this, as always, as your first quarter open thread for the game.

GO FALCONS!
