This Thread Is Open For Business: Falcons vs. Jags

by Dave the Falconer on Sep 16, 2007 12:24 AM EDT in Falcons News Comment 6 comments

I'm not predicting a Falcons win here, but I'm crossing my fingers that my reverse voodoo jinx will have some kind of positive effect. Something like a 300 yard, 4 TD explosion from Joey Harrington would do the trick. I'd even settle for a 150 yard, 2 TD pop if it didn't come with any huge mistakes attached. I'm begging, here.

Who? Atlanta Falcons at Jacksonville Jaguars
Where? Alltell Stadium, Jacksonville, Florida
Weather? Warm, partly cloudy, chance of rain. Pretty typical Florida weather.
Fun Fact? Josh Scobee hurt his quad badly last week and will probably be out at least a month. The best part is that he hurt it during pre-game warmups. At least it's not Vince Coleman being rolled into a tarp machine bad.
Injuries: Coleman and Crocker out definitely, Scobee and Meester out for the Jags.
Odds? Jacksonville the favorite, spread 10.0, O/U 34.5
Foe? Visit our Jaguars blog over at Big Cat Country to follow up on our erstwhile foes. River City Rage has vanished mysteriously, but I'll try to have five follow-up questions with him after the game.

Let's recover our lost dignity and destroy the Jaguars!

Update [2007-9-16 10:46:44 by Dave the Falconer]: River City Rage has kindly stopped by and posted his answers to my questions in the diaries section. Check them out if you want more info on the Jags.

Sorry Bro!

I'm sorry about the questions, I had something come up at work that sucked me away from the computer.

That being said, we've got a heck of a "must win" game for both teams. Jacksonville can't afford to drop two games so early with Two games against the Colts, Chargers, etc later in the season.

As for Atlanta...A win here keeps the team alive, another loss brings us closer to the Brian Brohm era.

I answered your questions Dave and posted them in your "diaries section", sorry for the lateness. I'll be liveblogging pretty heavy over at Big Cat Country if you're interested.

No problem

I just was hoping you hadn't suffered the same fate as Josh Scobee. This is a pretty crucial game, and a blowout win for either team would have implications that go far beyond this week.

May the best team win...and may it be ours!

I said it last week....

...and I will say it again.

"BRING ME THE HEAD OF MATT PRATER".

Once again we had some momentum going which was killed by a missed FG. This one so wide right that I questioned which goalposts he was aiming for.

And BTW: One more reason to get Snelling in. That carry Artose Pinor had on third and short a while ago was embarrassing. He literally ran into the back of one of his own linemen. What a pthetic attempt.

Let's matriculate the ball down the field boys.

Just when I thought....

...Prater's first miss was bad. The second one almost made me vomit it was so off. It's like he is TRYING to miss. I wonder what Morten Anderson is doing these days?
