ATL D

[rayzor]

yeah, ATL's D looked impressive, but very exploitable by a good run game. they could very easily be shredded.

a large part of it, like many said, was that they were taking advantage of an old, stiff, slow, and rusty peyton manning in a very loud environment.

this isn't the same old peyton manning from even a couple years ago. the past two years have not been kind to him and the game isn't the same as it was when he last played. sure, he only missed one year, but that year was the year that passers really broke out in a big way and now defenses are getting more prepared for it by playing the way the falcons did.

one thing about peyton, every time the defense got to him i was scared for him. i mean they could paralyze him and it's not just the falcons...it's every defense out there able to take advantage of a immobile stiff-necked old QB. i think he made a huge mistake in going to denver because once cold weather hits and he's having to practice and play outside in sub-freezing temps, his neck is going to start to ache and stiffen up even more. he's spent his career playing over half of his games sheltered from the weather and now he's gone to spend the last couple years of his career in one of the harshest of climates? and this after 3 neck surgeries?

i'm sorry....that's just not smart at all.

when we play the broncos i think that some of the rust may have fallen off peyton, but i think he'll be a lot more beaten up. i honestly don't see him finishing the season and i don't see him lasting more than a year or two longer before retiring.

that's not true at all

but after reading the diarrhea that came out of your keyboard about keuchly in that other thread i'm not surprised you'd say something idiotic

I will let the stats speak for themselves because stupid insults want change them. Denver can't hide there QB behind a weak schedule this year.

Did you guys watch Mannings passes? They were wounded ducks, my sister could pick those off.

[Keith Moons Liver]

Not worried about their D. Peyton can't pass like Cam can. I don't know wtf Peyton was thinking with some of those 1st quarter throws. Worse than anything I've ever seen Cam do on a football field.

Your panther fan card has been revoked please see our nearest bandwagon kiosk for assistance

so you're saying facts are disputable depending on the team you root for?

wow a lot of fans underplaying a rivals good game, who woulda thunk it?

Good game at the end. I watched, the first few drives were great for the Falcons D. Manning was def. forcing the issue after the first bad pick.

Atlanta did play a good game, they just got a little help from Peyton in the first quarter. They kept most of their routes short so Ryan was only taking 3 step to keep VonDoom from getting to him early. Their run game is really just non existent, like Week 1 against the Bucs nonexistent. And their defense plays very aggressively, but its something thats very exploitable.
