Official Atlanta Falcons Thread

Get Roddy White involved please.

 

congrats on big win

 

I told you this is what needed to happen.

Congrats that it did.

 

Michael Turner was the single reason I blew a great week in fantasy...

Congrats on the win and the breakout game by the new Falcon!

 

Matt Ryan and Michael Turner a new Falcons Era even if it doesn't do much this season Falcons fan have to be excited about what the future holds.

 

Excellent game. Next week will be a better test for the offense, especially since it's on the road. Our run defense will be tested a little more next week as well.

 

I've heard that Garcia and Brooks may not play next week. Does it start snowing in hell if we go 2-0?

 

it damn sure might

 

No Garcia or Derrick Brooks for the Buccaneers this week, Falcons may start 2-0 :moe:

 

I expect us to be 2-1 atleast maybe 3-0 if we can run on Tampa half aswell as we did on sunday.
The Bucs aren't as good as passing as the Lions so thats are weakness not being attacked by as good quality as last week. But dear god Jamaal anderson get a sack you are killing me.

 

Jamaal almost got a half sack. He really did look better than he did all last year. Here's hoping.

Ryan goes through hot and cold spurts. Elite is top 5 in the league. A few games into the season is not going to make him elite. God, some of these announcers sound like they wanna put guys in Canton after they have a good quarter.

Doesn't hurt that he is throwing to the best WR combo in the league and the greatest TE of all time.

 

This is hot garbage. If it was Vick who was 4-0, and had thrown 11 TD's in that span, you would be all over these boards talking about how "elite" he is. SMH. People were calling Manning elite before his playoff success; Ryan has earned elite status. That's the truth. Tony Gonzales is widely considered to be the best TE to ever play, yet the guy has never won a playoff game. Justify why Ryan, based on his top shelf performance, isn't to be considered elite.
