Re: Falcons Pregame

Captain Obvious says

I expect us to lose . If we win, then I will be very happy.

and I agree with him

That said. We should be able to win this game if we control the ball, and we force them to beat us with someone other than Julio Jones.

I thought I heard that Atlanta had the 28th ranked defense. They do. BUT that is misleading. They have the 30th ranked passing defense, but the 5th ranked Rushing defense. Which means this game sets up much like the Giants game - not a good thing. We may end up passing to set up the run, not vice versa. Most people will probably kill Gruden after the loss (blame capt obvious) for not running it down their throats, or going away from the run but the fact is that their run defense is in fact similar statistically to ours:
att att/g yds avg avg/g TD Long
80 20.0 312 3.9 78.0 1 30
77 19.2 341 4.4 85.2 7 37T

ours is the first line.
