If We Win... What Does It Mean

It won't mean a thing. Jake could post a rating of 120 for the next eight games and people would still hate him. Most have already made up their mind. Fox is done around here as well. I'm not quite sure about Peppers--he may be saved by the UNC connection.

I doubt the FO wouldn't turn down a good trade for pep next year.

It means we're 1-0 in the division for one thing.

I think it will mean a lot to this team and perhaps help them form an identity to win this game in the Georgia Dome.

I think it's next to delusional to expect us to win this game, but if we did, it could be a catalyst for success.

If our running game gets rolling and our D gets off the field (and it has to happen for more than just one drive), we might get a glimmer of confidence. My main concern is that this team has a history of getting behind early, esp. vs Atlanta, and when Jake is forced to pass the ball to convert 3rd down, the other team is in our backfield all day. Plus, last year we had a hard time protecting a lead. Either way, this matchup doesn't favor us.

John Abraham has our number, Michael Turner has our number, Matt Ryan has our number and most importantly the Falcons coaching staff.

I'm resigned to an 0-3 start. I'm not usually a hater, but I have to be realistic. I don't know where all the cheeriness is coming from on this board. We tend to struggle against the Falcons, we can't catch a break, we are not playing well...

even if we play well (and Jake plays well) I expect our D to get tired in the second half and give up a lot of yards through the air.

The winner of this game will probably score 35+. Do you really think that's going to be us?

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
