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).

      This is why they'll lose. The draft pick value is substantial vs. minimal cap impact.

      You keep mentioning the impact on the salary cap, but that's literally not the point with all these 2nd Rounders, it's all about precedent and it being a slippery slope that would lead to more fully guaranteed contracts for veterans. That's what the teams are making sure this doesn't get to, because yes, you're right, the guarantees for a 2nd rounder won't have significant cap implications if the player doesn't work out.  But you give that fully guaranteed 3-4 year contract to a FA who then shits the bed in year 1 and never regains the form that got them the contract, then yes, it's going to screw up your cap management and won't be a rounding error. And you can say it's a big leap to go from guaranteeing a 2nd round pick's contract to a big FA signing, but it's really not.  Once teams start giving them out, it's only going to keep growing and be insisted upon by agents in other situations and once the ball starts rolling down the hill, it's going to be impossible to stop it's momentum. Also, the only reason a 2nd rounder's contract would be a rounding error, is explicitly because contracts aren't guaranteed and teams can finagle the cap hits with various tactics.  Once contracts become more and more guaranteed, that won't be as easy to do, if even possible at all, and those individual rounding errors become serious problems in totality.

      Yep!  Jake wanted to stay. It’s been reported a lot that he did. Tulsky waited too long to give him that contract.
