He only threw for 82 yards and he fumbled! Any Falcons or Vick bashers want to comment on todays game?

    YEAH I WILL START! DOESNT MATTER WHAT HE PASSES FOR THEY DONT NEED TO PASS RUNNING TEAMS WIN SUPERBOWLS. AND DEFENSE ALSO WINS!

    THE FALCON D LOOKED AWEFUL FROM THE START BUT THEY TOOK OVER BC THE OFFENSE WAS ROLLING. NEXT WEEK THE DEFENSE BETTER NOT THINK THE OFFENSE WILL MAKE IT THIS EASY. WHICH I THINK THEY WILL PLAY JUST FINE. FLACONS IN THE BIG GAME IM BETTING ON IT!

    In the Seahawks/Rams game, the Rams threw a lot when Faulk was in the backfield and mostly ran when Jackson was back there so when they did the opposite to start this game it threw the Falcons secondary off. Just like in the first Falcons/Rams game, the Rams proved to be a one-dimensional team, which just got worse when the Falcons scored on almost every possession. If the Eagles win, which I think they will, the Falcons will be a 3.5-4.5 point dog, but given favorable match-ups and past history, it should be a great game. If the Vikings win, they’ll get a shot at revenge when we beat them as huge underdogs in the ’98 NFC champ game.

    Terry, JB, Jimmy Johnson and Howie Long were singing the Rams praises before the game. They were picking a .500 team over a division winner.

    Falcons also have a much underappreciated defense this year. Not big, but they are fast and always hustle to the ball. I hope Vikings win tomorrow so the NFC title game is in ATL.

    If Vick had to depend on his passing, he couldn't make 4th string on the 49ers,
    but just the threat of him running opens up the entire offense, which makes him extremely valuable.

    Of course, the Rams defense has sucked all year,
    and it may be a different story if Vick has to try to come from behind against a solid D like the Eagles have.

    The Falcons defense and running game along with their special teams play make them a real threat. If
    they have to rely on Vick throwing for 300 plus yards then that's when they will have problems. Talking
    with a friend last week and this game turned out exactly how I called it. It was scary. I predicted a
    special teams td for Atlanta, Vick and Dunn both running for 100 yds (I actually said Dunn would run for
    200 - close) and Vick would throw for around 100 yds and yet the Falcons would crush the Rams. It is
    very tough to cover on the road two times in a row. When so much of the public was picking the Rams
    I felt even more confident. I don't bet though because I'm wrong more than half the times. I just got
    one right.
