byron leftwech makes our offense go, he opens up the run game for jerious norwood. norwod isw a great back with harrington playing he gets cuaght up cuase they dont have to respect harrington terrible deep ball. roddy white is blossoming into a great wideout and crumpler is relaible when motivated. john abraham top 3 defesive ends in nfc. rod coleman is a beast, i miss grady jackson. broooking and dunn need to retire. milloy is past his prime. boley is our future star. d hall i hope he stays cause he is shutdown material. i want petrino fireddd i always was a big fan of denny green


The Falcons are pretty bad. Everyteam has at least one star player (Abraham), but that's not enough.

The entire offense was based around having Michael Vick running the show. That made space for the running back. It bought the recievers more time to get open (although they didn't bother to use it.) They switched the o-line to a zone-blocking scheme to help the run even more. Now Vick's gone, and they had to install a competely new offense overnight. And it looks bad.

Leftwich is not very good. If he was, a team like Jacksonville would not release him, and he wouldn't take weeks to get picked up again by someone else. Leftwich just hasn't improved much over the years. He still plays basically the same way he did as a rookie. Opposing D's don't respect him a whole lot either.

As for the D, a lot of guys are past their prime, and D Hall is insane. He thinks he's a lot better than he actually is, and that's a hinderance to good play. He can't keep his emotions in check and I'm sure he doesn't listen to his coaches.

Norwood is the only guy playing with any consistency right now, and he's only getting 1/3 of the carries, which makes a lot of guys look good.


man first of all stop hating on deangelo hall. he is shut down material. without harrington our offense wouldnt be that bad. if u saw vs the siants leftwech was playing great. you didnt include how micheal boley has bbecome a star. boley might be going to the pro-bowl. i do credit u for putting in abraham, other than boley hes there mvp, but hall isnt that bad. you cant say he isnt good, the guy shut down steve smith only guy to do it this season, roddy white is playing consistency


Leftwich does play great. Sometimes. More often, though, he plays poorly. He just doesn't get any better as the years pass. That offense isn't going anywhere with an up-and-down qb like that running the show, and it doesn't help that their offensive line is below average and their lead running back is aging. Roddy White is doing okay, but he's not getting into the end zone very much, and that should be a cause for concern.

Hall is a good cover corner, to be sure, but he's also a meltdown waiting to happen. Sure he stopped Smith from getting many catches, but because he was busy pass-interfering and getting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties instead. Either way, he's still giving up the yards.


kk coming off a win felt great. dunn looked good but still i tihnk hes done. john abraham has to go to the pro bowl fi he doesnt then people got to stop voting for overrated juluis peppers. micheal boley 6 tackles 1 forced fumble, people remeeber the name. with 1 arm deangelo hall gets a interception and did good job on darrel jackson. for four of the past 6 weeks we have been either winning or tied at halftime. we havent got blown at once tis season, excpet maybe the giant game


Winning or tied at halftime, yet few wins to show for it. Basically the Falcons beat the only teams on their schedule that are somehow more inept on offense. They're still 2-6, and they still look just like a team that should be 2-6.

Falcons, as bad everyone thinks.

It does depend on what you thought of them in the first place. I don't think they're the worst team in the league (hahahahaha dolphins) but I think they're down at the bottom. I'd put them at fourth worst, behind Fins, Rams, and Jets.

Look on the bright side, the Falcons are better than the heartbreak kid's spelling.

How could you not understand that? It wasn't difficult to understand at all. His points are dead wrong for the most part, but it wasn't tough to comprehend.

Actually, I read somewhere that as long as the first and last and last letters are in their proper place, you can read the words without any trouble. Of course, I read that in an email, so take it with a grain of salt.

It is. There is a sign in the Jimmy Johns. Everything in the words is so scrambled, but when you read it everything flows perfectly.

you forgot "siants"

and Petrino is definitely not the problem, he has a job cut out for him but I think if he gets a year or two he can turn that program back around.

buy your Brian Brohm jerseys now, cuz I guarantee he's #1 on Petrino's draft board and if he's there they'll take him for sure
