As one who loves football, but doesn't always understand the x and o's matchups; is there anything the more knowledgeable posters can tell me about the keys to winning this game with Atlanta.

Key players, suggested plays, i.e. numbers to watch.

Looking for game winning strategy, not "if we can stop michael turner from getting 1000 yards we might win."

No bitchassness!

Here's one matchup to watch for:

Julio Jones #11 vs. Captain Munnerlyn #41

Gamble will draw Roddy White most of the time, since he still plays their #1 WR position, which leaves Captain unfortunately overmatched against a dynamic rookie receiver. Hopefully Godfrey and Martin will be able to provide decent help over the top.

Capt has faced far better WRs this year and came out on top. You are going to see a lot of cover 2 deep and zone blitzing. This game comes down to who can put up the most points cause both defenses suck

We stacked the box all game, we can't do that with Matt Ryan.

Exactly. This game we are gonna need Martin over the top to help Cap. And Godfrey is going to be one on one with Gonzalez since our linebackers would be even more of a mismatch against him.

So on defense this game comes down to our D line being able to fill the gaps so our linebackers can wrap up Turner... and obviously our linebackers cannot miss tackles (since we cannot load the box). This and Gamble is probably not going to get much help on Roddy, so he's gonna have to bring it (like he has all season)... Lastly, Cap/Martin and Godfrey have to stop Julio and Gonzales enough so our offense can put up more points than Atl (its unrealistic to expect them to have a lot of success in these two matchups, teh most important thing is to not give up any big plays, and play especially hard on third downs to stop drives)

Offensively, it all comes down to giving Cam time. They will probably be spying on Cam (so that takes one LB out of coverage making things a little easier for Cam to throw the ball). Our WRs (and TEs) are more talented than the Falcons secondary and LB, so if Cam gets his time, we should have no problem keeping our offense rolling. So, our Tackles have to do a good job against Abraham and Edwards, and we HAVE TO HAVE TO establish the run so Atlanta is as blitz-happy (I'm not too confident in our ability to pick up the blitz) and to let Olsen slip out for the big play (on a play action).

      Bryce stats past the sticks

      That's a very incorrect statement right off the bat, coaches get fired for winning ugly all the time.  Every coach of a playoff team that then gets fired, got fired because they won ugly and didn't improve their players enough to win in the postseason. Guys like Andy Reid have been fired for "winning ugly" like you said, because they kept winning in spite of the improvement of their players. Also, "this is a fanbase starved for wins" is a statement I also don't agree with, I'm not "starved for wins", I'm "starved for a winning and contending franchise" which are two VERY different things. If the team and fans just want to win some games, then that's a loser mentality, sorry, but it is.  We should want to contend, not win a handful of games.  Every time this comes up I point back to the Lions the last 5 years or so.  They were losing games but improving every week while doing so a few years back.  THAT is how you improve as a franchise and move the needle towards contending, not winning games ugly.

      this is true.  But NFL Ss and defenses are actively taking that away and playing to take them away vs most teams.  The problem thus far in BY's career......is they are cheating and not respecting the deep game which makes the smaller/mid range game harder to pull off.  and Dallas is an anomaly game.  using those random games that run counter to vast work......doesn't really change the discussion/issues in Carolina.  Bryce Young took the shots this week because they were not just NFL open but college open.    Wide open dudes downfield that really were coverage busts/issues.
