Too much Peyton
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Peyton Manning was unstoppable tonight. We got to him a few times, but not enough. The run defense played great, but Peyton picked the defense apart.
The offense looked good in the first half. Field goals just aren’t enough. The Falcons still had a chance at halftime, but couldn’t get anything going in the second half. Bad field position, bad play-calling, bad penalties on special teams.
The Dome was full of Colts fans. I wanted so badly to win this game and shut up the group of six Colts sitting a few rows down from us, but Peyton was just too good.
That was not a running-into-the-kicker penalty. The punter did an acting job. Bad call!
Roddy had a good game and so did Boley, but it’s clear we need more talent.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving despite the outcome.
Go Falcons!
A bad call on the QB
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Harrington haters, are you happy now? You’re right, Leftwich is so much better!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Drive safe.
Go Falcons!!!
Defense does it again
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Joey made the play that beat the Panthers. He stayed in the pocket and found Alge up the middle and then got clobbered. No, he’s not the best quarterback in the league, but at least he plays with a lot of heart. Nice to see.
The defense was awesome again, holding the Panthers offense to 6 points. Holding the Panthers to the field goal late was huge. They were all over Testaverde. I’m not crazy to think that the Panthers are a great team, but the defense shut them down for most of the game. Testaverde couldn’t get anything going, and the rushing game was pretty much obsolete. D. Hall made a nice play on Steve Smith to strip the ball away on a play that could have been a touchdown. Boley looked solid again.
The Dunn of old is back. He’s hit his stride and has given Joey the help he needed to keep defenses on their toes. Two straight 100-yard games. Gotta keep it going against his former team next week.
Go Falcons! Let’s go for three in a row.
Defense gets win
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The defense was awesome today. They gave up one touchdown in the first quarter and a lot of field goals, but they held tough. Lawyer Milloy had that big play on third down to limit the 49ers to the field goal and protect the lead late. A lot of people get on Keith Brooking, but he had the big sack just before D. Hall got the pick. They were all over Alex Smith.
The offense should have scored more points on all the turnovers, but a win is a win. Nice to finally see Warrick get a 100 yards on the ground.
I liked how the Falcons responded in the first half after the touchdown by the 49ers. They didn’t panic and scored two touchdowns in the red zone.
Hope this will help with the confidence. I know the 49ers aren’t a good team and the offense didn’t look great, but a win can do wonders for the Falcons’ confidence.
Still pretty pathetic for Falcons’ fans to not be able to watch their team on TV. You would have thought the Falcons and Blank would have figured out a way to get rid of 3,000 tickets. It’s a little embarrassing.
Way to go Falcons! Let’s go for two in a row next week against the Panthers.
