Clayborn too. But yeah last time, 10 of their points came off turnovers. Avoid them and costly penalties from the O-line and we should cruise.

A poorly executed 4 min offense is what killed the Falcons in that game
I meant to add that in my ''Things to watch for'' during this playoff run.

Bout to rewatch the week 6 game and I'll give a in depth analysis when I'm done

Next week against the Seahawks

Falcons need to improve on 3rd down conversions, they went 3 -11 in that game

Matt needs a better pocket to pass from, in the first half Matt had a force fumble (Wagner)
and the reefers blew about 3 roughing the passer calls (1 on Wagner, 2 Bennett)

Falcons need to establish the run next week this will be crucial, week 6 they only attempted
17 run plays (Freeman 12 atts, Coleman 4 atts) for a total gain of 50 yrds (No tds)

Redzone offense HAS to improve, the only redzone play Falcons scored on was a 10 yrd pass
to Sanu, The other two scoring plays ( 36 yrd TD to Julio, and a 46 yrd TD to Toliolo) were mainly
dude to blown coverages (Mainly loudmouth Sherman's fault)

Falcons defense will need to sack Russell they only had 1 sack (Trufant)
And this was coming off a season high 6 sacks against Denver the previous week
(Both Freeney and Deion Jone missed a crucial sack on 3rd and 2 late in the 4th Q week 6)

Miscellaneous Notes

Taylor Gabriel was knocked out of the week 6 game with concussion, Look for him to have
an explosive game next week.

With Earl Thomas being out, look for the Falcons to take the top off the Legion Of Buffoons defense

Leading up to the blown PI call, Matt forced feed the ball to Sanu too much, 1st and 10
Matt should've hit Hardy in stride for a a solid 5-8 yrd gain, 3rd and 10 Matt should've have ran
for about a 8 yrd gain (The refs missed a possible PI call, McCray hit Sanu late)


Bottom Line

Next weeks game will be a chippy emotional tight called game. I'm more than
sure they'll be alot of holding and pass interfernce calls next week. Seattle will
be coming into Da Dome loose playing with house money and the Falcons
will be looking to get revenge from week 6.

Of course the ATL
Even tho I know we played them earlier this season I feel like this is almost a completely different team

-Defense has improved tremendously. Think about all the young guys who have emerged since then. Jalen Collins, Brian Poole, Keanu Neal, Deion Jones, Devondre Campbell, Vic Beasley. That's more than half our starting defense who has started to play smarter and faster as we closed the season. This defense will remind Seattle of its own defense, which we all know DQ helped build a few years ago. If anybody knows how to prepare to beat Seattle, it's DQ

-Offensively this is as healthy as we've been. Tevin Coleman & Devonta out of the backfield. The only OL to make all 80 starts together this season. Julio, Sanu, Gabriel, Aldrick Robinson, Justin Hardy, Austin Hooper, so many capable playmakers on offense and of course the MVP of the NFL,Matt Ryan at QB.

This is the most dynamic Falcons offense ever and one of the best offenses in league history. We should be able to attack Seattle in multiple ways on Saturday, 4 WR, 3WR, Tevin & Devonta out of the backfield, we can line it up and go smash mouth.

Falcons by 10

#RiseUp :blessed:
