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).

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
