A great first
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What a great win on the road — the first for the Falcons in Oakland. OK, the Raiders stink and the Falcons didn’t score in the second half, but this was still a total domination.
I loved seeing the defense get that interception in the end zone to preserve the shutout. Allowing three first downs the entire game was amazing. John Abraham was everywhere.
And Matt Ryan and the offense looked like they were just running through practice in the first half. Keeping the Raiders defense on the field for more than 40 minutes was impressive. Great job by Ryan (with the exception of the stripped ball) and Michael Turner.
I was glad D. Hall didn’t get to do any talking. The announcers even got on him a little for seemingly being too friendly with his former mates. For me, subpar play is what I was used to seeing from him and thankfully he’s not here anymore. I really like the team Blank, Dimitroff and Smith have compiled.
The victory is good, but I would have liked to see some scoring in the second half. Ball control is fine, but there are going to be times when you can’t just hold on to a 24-point lead. There are too many good teams that can come back from that deficit.
Let’s crush the Saints next week!!
Go Falcons!!
