Turnovers can’t stop Falcons
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Falcons should have won by a lot more points, but it was an awesome victory on the road against a team they should have beaten.
Turnovers made this one closer than it should have been. The refs tried to hand this one to the Chargers. Didn’t think Finneran or Turner fumbled. Bad, bad calls. Not sure what replays they’re looking at. Fortunately, it didn’t cost the Falcons the game.
Matt Ryan was awesome again today. He and Roddy make such a great team. Ryan was on target and Roddy did a great job getting open. The rookie Harry Douglas made a rookie mistake on the fumble, but made up for it with the TD catch. Glad to see the tight end get in on the offensive game plan.
The defense played great, getting the safety and making big stops when it had to. Then the blocked field goal. They held down LT and were all over Rivers. Their only points came off three turnovers (2 questionable ones) that gave the Chargers good field position.
I like Mike Smith’s decision to go for it on fourth down, but give Ryan a chance on the keeper or a pass play way before it gets to fourth down. When they’re jamming the middle, go around the end.
Next week: a huge game at New Orleans. Need to win that division game.
Go Falcons! Awesome win today.
