Brutal night for ATL on both fronts, gotta feel for em
[/quote]
Which Super Bowl hopefulls fans are feeling worse right now?
Falcons
Ravens
Giants
Redskins[/quote]
Not the Ravens. Still tired for the AFC North with like half an offense.[/quote]
I am going to say Falcons should be the most concerned. The NFC East and the AFC North are so bad the other teams on that list are actually not that far out of it.[/quote]
Ya I agree with that. [/quote]
At this point it is starting to look like Atlanta’s only hope is the wild card which they need to compete with Seattle/San Fran and the Lions/Bears/Packers for. Sucks for Tony that he came back for this shit.[/quote]
Yeah and that Seattle/San Fran is looking like a lock for both so maybe two out of three in the NFC North will have a melt down, which is not unlikely.[/quote]
Seattle is the clear favorite right now. Wilson is playing on another level. The defense is ridiculous. Kap has looked pretty human lately in comparison.

I put romo in the same category as Rivers.
QB’s who can play, win games but their decision making will prevent them from ever winning a Super Bowl. Good enough QB’s to contest for the division and a playoff berth more years than not but aren’t going to win you and rings.[/quote]
Of course.
Like I keep saying he is not elite, but IF you put a team around him he could have a chance. [/quote]
Actually I’d probably throw Matt Ryan into that category too.
Although I think he’s definitely a better decision maker than Romo and Rivers I forsee a ring less future for Matty Ice. He has the greatest right end to ever play and arguably the best 1-2 receiving punch in the NFL with white and julio yet hasn’t gotten it done. He’s about to lose Gonzalez after this season and White looks past his prime. That window of opportunity is closing fast and the league is pretty stacked with talented Q’s right now.
I like Matt Ryan though.[/quote]
Ironically, Ryan has been having a career year. Our biggest problem offensively is that we keep running that midget Jaquizz up the middle. I get we need a run game but homeboy cannot get yards. He’s not a power back, running him up the middle with that o-line just doesn’t make any sense.
White is still gimpy and not terribly effective. Gonzales and Julio have been killing it.
My two favorite bright spots from the night were Bosher’s two tackles and running the play action out of the I, which I have never seen us do before.

Mornhinweg has proven what a creative offensive mind can do with limited talent on the offensive end. [/quote]
The upgrade from Schottenheimer to Morningweg is as good as it gets. (and I posted this a few pages back, but there’s egg on my face now from draft night. turns out Tavon Austin going to NYJ would’ve been much better for him instead of being doomed by Schottenheimer’s incompetence in STL)

Offense is still plenty loaded, it’s the complete-and-total lack of pass rush that’s doomed ATL thus far.
Just compare how comfortable both Brady and Geno looked and performed in the Georgia dome and contrast that with Geno’s previous week at TEN and Brady’s following week at CIN, when both were facing ferocious pass rushes.
