The closer to game time we get the more I can see the falcons shutting up a lot of naysayers that say the Falcons can't play on the road. This game falls on the Giants defense. If they can stop the run and force Matt Ryan into 3rd and longs, it will be a long day. However, if Ryan gets time to throw the ball, that does not go well for the Giants secondary, namely Aaron Ross
i've heard a lot of people talking this week about the fact that if the falcons lose this game, they will be 0-3 in the playoffs under smith and ryan and whether that will affect anything for them in the future .............. will they both be under the gun next season if they can't get a playoff win?
Mike Smith is a good coach. I don't think he would face any job security issues. He would get a lot of scrutiny though. Same for Matt Ryan.
