The difference was PROTECTION by the O Line and receivers making CATCHES. The Defense showed up, but they were playing against an INEXPERIENCED QB. Good win though. Go Falcs!

There was a lot to be impressed with today. Some big keys on offense were trying something new, receivers hanging on to the ball, better line play, and Vick’s leadership. Moving Alge around and putting Norwood out wide were good moves, and showed creativity. Maybe Jenkins and Lelie will amount to something after all. The line seems to be more in sync, giving Vick time to pass and creating some holes. All Jerious Norwood needs is a little crease, and he’s gone. Vick was impressive. After the week he had, to come back and play as well as he did showed something. He had a great touch, and most of his passes were right on target. More and more, you have to realize he’s NOT the problem, but a tough, talented playmaker.

I’m sorry but I will have to temper my excitement because washington is a bad football team. No portis, a rookie QB, and key injuries on defense. The falcons should have won this game, even though they tried their hardest to give it a way at the end. Lets see what happens in a few weeks when carolina and dallas come calling. Even if the falcons win a few more down the stretch, if I’m blank, mora must still make the playoffs to save his job. Under almost any circumstances I would fire knapp and Donatell at sesons end. Unless somehow we played in the superbowl, which aint gonna happen.

I am a Falcons fan. I was banking on we would lose the rest of our games this year. Folks we are not going to make the playoffs! If we lost every game on out, we would have at least got a pick in the top eight. Now we will finish 8-8 with the 15th pick in the draft where we will pick a WR from South West Utah State that can’t catch either.

This win was like a band-aid on a ruptured artery. Sure a win is what MORA needed to survive but this team isn’t playoff worthy and the worst thing that could happen is Mora and staff stays with a middle 1st round pick.

D. Hall has regressed - Crocker’s INT was the FIRST decent thing he has done. Losses to Carolina and Dallas should take care of things but folks don’t lose focus of the big picture - MORA and staff still have to go.

I’m with the Bird Babe on this one. Any win is a good win for this bunch, considering how they blew it against the Lions and Browns.

I find it interesting that in all the debate about whether responsibility for the Falcon’s problems rests with Vick or the receivers or the coaches, no one ever considers the offensive line. I think one important factor in the passing game’s ineffeciency is that Vick is frequently under pressure and thus feels the need to throw quickly or run for his life - even when he might not need to. This is not conducive to a consistent passing attack.

Second, concerning the usual suspects (Vick, receivers, coaches), I think the responsibilty rests with all parties. Vick can be extremely effective passing, but he’s never been very accurate. The receivers are what they are - they drop a lot of balls. And the coaches have to find a way to make all of that work, which isn’t easy.

Personally, I think the receivers will eventually shine. They’re all physically gifted and I think that’ll assert itself. What we need right now is a bit of patience and improved line play. If Vick consistently has time to throw, something tells me we’ll suddenly forget about problems in the passing game.

One interesting note: Vick’s best season as a passer so far was under Dan Reeves in 2002…

Yes, the Falcons beat a bad team, but they have lost two other games this year against bad teams (Cleveland and detroit). They may not make the payoffs, their defensive backfield is terrible, and they aren’t consistent. That said, it’s a mental game, and this win could be a big confidence builder. Whether mora goes or not, it’s good to know the Falcons have at least some players with some stones.

Finally!!!! Damn! These MF finally showed some “positive’ character today. I saw the fire in them right from the start, they were ready and relaxed right from kick-off. When we went down 14 points early I was about to start up the same ole Falcons song and write them off until September of 2007. But the guys played with heart and turned it around, lets see if they can do this over the next 4 weeks.

Ive been telling every one since the preseason that J-wood is something speacial and today he supported my predictions. He would have been a 1400 yard rusher this season if he was not playing behind Warrick Dunn.

Despite the win, our recievers are still bootie, including Alge. Keith Brooking is the most over rated LB in the history of the game. He is marginal, but definitely not worth of 5 pro-bowls that he has been allowed to participate in.

Well…Well….:( :( The Falcons turned it around today, but me and newtothegame have hit a bump in the road. Hopefully its only a bump.To sum up my feelings, I will keep it simple.

Way to go Falcons. I’m extremely happy with the defense and particular Chris Crooker. I had suggested we trade him for a better safety but the interception in the second half was definately a great play from him. Hopefully, he continues on this path. Norwood is the man. Keep giving him the ball either from the pass or run.

I’m glad we won, but I was definitely not impressed. Ladell Betts ran for a career high 155 yards, and Washington basically ran the exact same stretch run play every time with the Falcons’ D unable to adjust. Once again, every time we blitzed we got great pressure and forced Campbell into mistakes, and every time we rushed 4 and dropped the rest in zone coverage we gave up big pass plays. I am amazed that at this point in the season, Donatell doesn’t realize this yet. Once again, dropped passes were a problem, although to the receivers’ credit they did a much better job today. Vick and Crumpler played nice games, and for a change guys came up with key plays when they mattered — the 46 yard pass to Crumpler, the 22 yard pass to Jenkins, the 69 yard run by Norwood and the interception by Chauncey Davis all came at key times and were very clutch. Still though… 3 dropped passes, a career day for a backup RB, a hamstring injury for Vick and a touchdown pass allowed despite double coverage on Santana Moss are not good signs for the Falcons going forward. There are still major problems on this team that need to be fixed before we play Dallas and Carolina. I hope these guys realize that they just beat a pretty bad team, and that they are still going to have to take their play to the next level if they want to make a serious playoff run.

Please can the racism. It is idiotic, irrelevant, and makes you look stupid.

Vick didn’t win this game for us. The FALCONS won! Just like Vick didn’t lose any of the games.

Vick played his typical game. He played the same way with the same intensity. The difference, though, is that he got help this game. The receivers caught the ball. The offensive line blocked OK (not great.) And the defense rattled their QB with some heat.

Now, it was Jason Campbell, a rookie. He was easily rattled. But Jason will be a great QB one day.

Also the Redskins’ TE and RBs kept dropping passes.

But it was a good game, nonetheless. Hopefully, Mike Vick can get some help again next week.

WHAT A FARCE- Your knowledge of the game of football is an accurate reflection of your common sense. You have very little of both. Compare Michael Vick’s passing stats this season, and his overall winning percentage with ANY other QB in the NFL and maybe you will see what I am talking about.

LARRY- Funny you should mention where Michael Vick and Jason Campbell went to college. Campbell led Auburn to an undefeated Championship season his senior year, and Vick took then no name Virginia Tech to the National Title game. Compare Vick’s record as a starter with Manning’s, Brady’s, and Romo’s and see what you get. FOUR Great Quarterbacks who know how to win games. Finally, this Falcons’ Forum sure does a good job of exposing how some of the residents of this city REALLY feel about their African-American neighbors. I am a young, college-educated Black male, and I am headed to law school. I have two earrings, a Fraternity Brand, and a tatoo. If you disrepect Michael Vick and Jason Campbell the way you did, I am curious as to how you would react to me, or other professional Black men like me who you will inevitably come in contact with now and in the future.

I am not the one who tried to insult any one with racist invective. In fact, some so-called genius decided to misappropiate my name and use it to put vile on this post. Using my wits, I have truly p** these ignorant, racist pigs off to the point that they are worried that their true, cowardly selves are exposed to everyone in Atlanta. These, and many others are what I call true pieces of work. It is people like these that aren’t true Atlantans or even true Americans.

Falcons fans: fight these morons with your wits. The response to my posts (and many others) show what kind of people “support” our team: many true-blue fans, some fair-weather fans, and some fans who belong in the ninth circle of hell. Pray for them, because their time is coming VERY soon.

I don’t condone racism PERIOD; whether it be from a black person, a white person, or any other color or nationality. Some of these ignorant fools only betray their true selves with their comments about Vick, Tony Romo, etc.

When Vick has a bad game, then he deserves constructive criticism. When Vick has a good game, he deserves constructive accolades, just like any other NFL quarterback. There’s no need to bring color in the conversation, unless you are just ignorant. Unfortunately, many of these ignorant people just make matters worse. But, that’s the way ball bounces.

So, GO Falcons! Win or lose, I (and other good Atlanta souls) will support you. We will criticize you when you mess up, but we will support you.

This is the worst sports message board I have ever seen in my life. Every single blog resorts to silly and childish name calling. There is racism coming from both sides. I have been a regular member of the hawks message board for over a year and we have a bunch of insightful and intelligent guys, both black and white. We sometimes have heated discussions and many disagreements but it never turns into racism or name calling. I will never visit a falcons blog again and I sincerely hope you people grow up some day.

I don’t think that you can be real fan of a team and actively root against them to lose just so coaches will be fired or the team will get a better draft pick. Big picture or not, if your body can actually feel like you want the team to lose, you probably aren’t a real fan in the firt place.

This game was a good win. It doesn’t mean all the problems will be solved or that we’ll make the playoffs, but it’s still a good win, and, as a fan, it made me happy. All those who want the coaching staff gone (and I’m pretty much still with ya), don’t worry. One game won’t change that either. As for people who care more about our draft pick, whatever. The only thing that really matters is what the team does on the field right now.

They beat a sorry-a* (one of the 4 worst teams in the NFL) Redskins team, spot the 14 points, let up 155 yards rushing to a lousy NFL Running Back who coming into the game had 255 yards rushing in 11 games, had 9 less first downs and a QB that can barely pass for 100 yards on his best day….KEEP IT COMING - LOL You Atlanta fans are cute.

BIRD BABE, you should be ashamed of yourself for allowing such disgraceful individuals to unleash their personal hatred and bigatry on a Falcons fan forum. Instead of gameplans and discussing offense and defense, peoples discussions on here are about racism and all of you above are pathetic, ill advised hypocrits who use fan blogs to releave their inner thoughts. This will be my last visit….ohhh yeahhh…the falcons…good game, keep it up

* GREAT GAME, BIRDS! I’m pleased that they finally came together as a team. It’s a shame, A REAL SHAME, that the owner, coaches and quarterback waited until after they had lost four games to have PRAYER MEETING with some of these UNDERACHIEVERS for their LACKLUSTER play! My guess is that had their been more intensity from the top to the bottom of this organization, we might have been spared this four game slide. But, again, who knows? Congratulations and Adios!*

I will not be wishy washy!! I will always support the Falcons good or bad. Remember all those years that the Braves were bad and all of a sudden we went from last to first?

LYNNE, I couldn’t agree with you more. We must all realize that these negative, racists comments aren’t coming from Falcons fans. MVick’s presence prevents them from identifing with the team. They desperately want the Falcons to lose because of their hatred of Vick.

Allow me to show you intelligent Falcons fans what I am talking about. After each of the last 4 losses, these morons immediately start posting about how Vick can’t read DEF’s, he’s too short, he can’t pass, he needs to play REC or RB, etc. After todays win, and Vicks outstanding performance, especially his pinpoint passing, all they can come up with are references to herpes, or earrings. There hasn’t been a single post referencing one of the above mentioned issues. Just stupid, ignorant inuendos that helps them justify their racially inspired hatred.

These are deprived, undeciplined childlike individuals that are throwing the equivalent of a temper tantrum. Just leave them to themselves. Much like leaving a severely retarded individual to wallow in his/her on excrement, which is punishment enough.

Let’s see, the Redskins beat Dallas, Jax and Carolina at home. It would have been easy for the Falcons to fold up their tents after falling behind 14 - zip. Anytime you can win a game on the road, its a good win. How many would rather have Grossman as their pocket qb now?

I was at FedEx field today and I can tell you that the Falcons showed a lot of heart in this game. Sure the Redskins aren’t great, but the way Atlanta kept their composure and came back (props to the receivers for stepping up when needed, now keep it consistent) showed the kind of character needed to win in this league.

Vick should be fine for next week’s game. If not, then everyone can brag about how “great” Schaub is.

The Skins fans were in complete awe of Vick and I received so many comments about how they wished they had Vick instead. Atlanta fans should appreciate him while they can.

Well stated Ken! Most of these idiots are probably teenagers anyway and mommy lets them have a computer in their room. No one who considers themselves even remotely intelligent would spew the kind of sick comments being made on these blogs. The fact that VICK and the Falcons won today must be killing them. No worry, they will eventually be consumed by their hatred and returned to the devil that spawned them.

In any event, for those making light of the fact that the Falcons beat the Redskins, record notwithstanding, they are still a PRO FOOTBALL TEAM! Those same Redskins beat the Panthers last week. Just be happy for the win no matter who it was against. One game at a time. 6-6 is a lot better than 5-7. The Falcons could have just cashed it in when they fell behind 14-0, BUT THEY DIDN’T! Given the tumultuous week the team has gone through, It showed a lot of character that they were able to score 24 unanswered points. Like many of the bloggers, I’m a native and support the birds win or lose. Lynne you shouldn’t be surprised at these blogs turning in to a hate filled tirade and vilification of Mike Vick. Some of theses amoebas are still pizzed about the LOSING the civil war where the confederates got their rebel azzes kicked up and down the mason dixie line like a $2.00 whore. LMAO!!!!!

After analyzing your diction, syntax and grammar, I can only imagine the pedigree of the law school you’ll attend. And, my ignorant and insecure friend, real men simply are too wise and confident to feel the need to decorate their ears with diamonds and to pierce their flesh with ink.

Lot of great Presidents, CEOs, engineers, architects, scientists and heart surgeons with tattoos and earrings, huh Michael?

Larry-

My resume speaks for itself. Michael Vick’s does too. I have been making people like you look silly all my life, and I will continue to do so as an attorney. I hope the Falcons win out and do the same. Real Manhood is defined by courage, INDIVIDUALITY, and unselfish living. Your ignorance, and insecurities are BEAUTIFULLY illustrated everytime you write on this blog….GO FALCONS AND GO VICK!!!!

P.S. For the sake of trying to keep this blog ON topic, I neglected to give you some examples to negate your claim that there are no great Presidents, CEOs, Engineers, Architects,Scientist, or Heart Surgeons with tatoos or earrings. The reason is simple. Your problem isn’t with the ink or the jewelry, your problem is with the color of the skin that they are on. If you want examples of African-Americans who are leaders in these fields I will happily email them to you.

LARRY, what would an anal retentive like yourself know about the qualities of being a man? And to answer your narrow minded question, a large # of great CEO’s, engineers, architects, scientist, surgeons, etc have tatoos. Many of these individuals are members of fraternities and they often wear tatoos of their frats insignia. But of course, you were too stupid to realize something like that when you made that moronic statement.

Does anyone notice the consistency with which these morons express their lack of comprehension? And so far, not one of these inbred anal retentives has made a single comment about Vicks performance. Vick showed everyone what he can pass with the best of them when given the time an opportunity.

Bottom line, morons like LARRY AND WHAT A FART, to name a few, are filled with self-lothing. They have convinced themselves, against all reality, they are somehow superior to someone else. In reality, they cannot see anything within themselves that’s remotely superior to anything. So they focus on the perceived, or self-created, inferiority of selected others. These are truely bottom feeders and represent what is wrong with the human spirit.

Unfortunately, they will never be able to stop hating. Every minute of every day, they are confronted with the reality that so many of those they claim are inferior, and profess to hate, are so far ahead of them socially, politically and, most importantly, economically. Michael Vick, and the city of Atlanta, has become the simbol of their unforfilled existence.

This is crazy! The hate is so fierce that people are saying stuff unreasonable. Schaub at QB, does he throw a magic ball with stickum on it? Can he avoid the normal jailbreak at the line? Larry - I don’t know if I can name too many great presidents. Most of the politicians that are clean cut and smile in your face a robbing us blind. I think I’ll trust Dwayne at the bike shop with all the tattoos bofore I trust the Prez and the junk bond CEO’s giving themselves millin dollar raises. tetuwacanda denica mutamba - Not Al and Jesse. I know you are upset but Al was caught on tape arranging a drug deal between undercover Feds posing as Columbian drug lords and local drug dealers in NYC. Bottom line, the problem is OL, WR, and our CB’s. Fix the OL and WR problem then judge Vick. Everyone is looking at the NE game and think that Schaub is the better QB. I thought the same thing with Doug Johnson. He looked so much better than Vick and I thought he should be the starter, then it happened, the rest is history. Is Schaub a Brady or a Johnson——YOU DON’T KNOW! No other Atlanta QB has received the hater’s as Vick and he has the best record here ever!

These Birds should show up more often. Defense got smacked around some in that 1st, but put the brakes on nicely after that (WELCOME BACK ABRAHAM!). It was nice to see pressure on the QB. The young guns, Boley, Davis, and Mallard showed up big-time today, even if it was the Deadskins. We lost games like this to teams this incapable before. They should have sat Vick down for more than a snap. What if that hamstring gave? Dumb. Even though the rcvrs got ‘em in the endzone, they were still too many drops IMO. I don’t get that. They hung in there though. At least for a week I can stop thinking about us losing. Kudos to Dunn, Norwood and Crump. Nice to see teammates helping MV7 out. Like I’ve always said, one man doesn’t break OR make a team. Way to go TEAM.

Now just keep it up, PLEASE!!

What a nice win. One game at a time. Too bad we lost some games that we should have won. Hopefully we can get after each team like we did after the first quarter of this game. I hope we can see more of Norwood in the games to come. It’s amazing how poised Vick was when he had protection. Let’s hope the team can keep this up for the rest of the season. The one thing that I would want early for Christmas—that we continue to have plenty of blitz packages for the pass AND run plays. And also that we eliminate the soft zones defense we continually get burned on.

From the washington post:

His greatest highlight came early in the second half, when he decided to call a play himself. With the Falcons trailing, 14-10, early in the third quarter, Vick heard a play come through his headset that hardly appealed to him. The Atlanta coaches wanted a passing play, and they gave Vick three possible receivers as targets.

“[Vick] wanted to throw to someone else,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins and Vick agreed to create their own play: Jenkins would run 22 yards down the field and into the end zone, and Vick would look for him. And true to Vick’s plan, the quarterback dropped back and threw a touchdown pass to a wide-open receiver nobody expected to see in the end zone — not even the Atlanta coaches. The play gave the Falcons a lead they held until the end of the game.
