Falcons prevail; you write the headline
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Falcons outlasted the Steelers 41-38 in overtime Sunday.
There were plenty of moments worthy of headlines in the game — the winning field goal, Michael Vick’s 4 TD passes, a controversial field goal attempt, ex-Georgia star Hines Ward returning to the state, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger getting injured, and more.
What is your headline for Sunday’s game?

Well, A Win Is A Win…..! However, A High Scoring Game Like This Means One Thing!! Neither Team Has A Defense! I Hardly See Any Improvement In The Pass Defense With The Addition Of Malloy & Crocker..And Who The Hell Said #21 Mr “Big Mouth” Was An All Pro?? Hines Ward Was His “Daddy” Today..Like Most Average Receivers Are On A Weekly Basis!! What Happened To The “Man” Coverage? Im Sick & Tired Of Knapp..He Is NOT An Offensive Coach..Run,Run,Run On 1st & 2nd Down, What A Joke!! Donatelli Is A Joke For A Defensive Coach, He Should Have Stayed In Retirement! J. Webster Is A Joke With All His Arm Tackling! What Happened Shortley After The Half?? We Stonwalled Em Then All Of A Sudden We Got NO Pressure On The Q/B..Both 1&2 Picked Us Apart! Why Isnt The 6’4” Lele Playing Every Down Of Every Game?? What Has Happened To T.J.Duckett?? I Know He Was Traded To Redskins..Is He Playing At All?? You Never See Anything In The Paper About Him..I Didnt See Him Today In The Game Or On The Sidelines..Wonder If The REAL Reason He Was Traded Was Because Of Mora’s Doghouse? What In The Hell Gives A Pro The Right To “Strut” When He Does What They Pay Him To Do?? So, Okay, The Falcons Beat A “Weak” Steeler Team (2-4) That Happened To Win The S/B Last Year..What Does This Say For The “Dog-Eared” Falcons & Their “Coaches”?? It Means That They Will Lose Next Week To Little Better Than Average Bengals Team!! Why? Because They Dont Have The Pass Defense Necessary For A Winning Club!! Because Of The Poor Play Selection By Knapp & Because The Birds Will Be Too Busy Struting & Telling Each Other How Wonderful They Are!

Mora Feels The Heat, Loosens Reigns On Vick

OK, now that you know that Lelie will catch the ball and make plays, is he number 1 now? The passing game came alive when he entered the game and Norwood also put spark in the otherwise stale ground attack. Vick actually looked good for a change so keep doing what you did today … White needs to give up his starting status until he can play like #87 and the offensive line actually blocked like it can protect the QB! On defense the pressure paid off … keep it up! For the first time in ages the team as a whole had some fire … GREAT GAME BIRDS
Mr. Fastest Human Hall got his a$$ burned and handed to him on a silver platter just about every down by reWARD … how many yards did WARD have? “De-boy” Hall couldn’t catch him even with an angle to stop the TD. Stop reading your press clippings and put up or shut up!

The Falcons looked alot better this week. They needed this win bad to get there head back where it needed to be. Mike proved his point today that he is a GREAT QB!! He does things that no other QB has or can do with the ball. It is very nice to finally see Knapp call some plays with #83 in them, 3TD’s,great game for Alge. One last thing, the Falcons have BETTER keep Ashley Lelie on the field if they want to have a sucessful passing attack!!!

FALCONS BACKS CONTINUE TO GIVE UP BIG CATCHES !!!! I’ve lived here through the lean years and the Deion years. every year we have backs like SANDERS who give up the big plays. Yes,they make some go plays but like the one they they are like they always give up the big one like sunday. Maybe we can get D- BACKS with less show and talk ,more hard play. chowhound

D HALL, THE MOST OVERHYPED CORNERBACK THERE HAS EVER BEEN, CONTINUES TO LET THE BEST RECEIVERS ON OTHER TEAMS GET 150 YARDS A GAME. DHALL, IT IS NOW TIME TO JUST SHUT UP AND PLAY! YOU ARE NOT PRIME TIME. YOU ARE MORE LIKE THE BLACK VERSION OF JASON SEHORN WHO WAS ALSO AN OVERHYPED WICKED FAST GREAT ATHLETE WHO MADE A FEW BIG PLAYS EVERY SEASON BUT ALSO GAVE UP BIG PLAY AFTER BIG PLAY. FOR ANYONE WHO SAYS THE SEHORN COMPARISON IS NOT DEAD ON, OBVIOUSLY NEVER SAW SEHORN IN HIS PRIME BEFORE TEARING UP HIS KNEE

uh, proctor, i do not ever remember prime time himself giving up big plays. DFALL on the other hand gives up at least 2 or 3 big plays every game but then he grabs one overthrow or so every other game and he claims he is the greatest things since deion.

FALCONS WIN WITH FIELD GOAL! No defense again, we need better backs and corners. They make some good plays but they always given up the big touchdowns. The offense is right on the edge of really have a realist run for the superbowl. The corners and backs give up to many touchdowns. They make one good defensive play and give up three big plays. Lets hope the powers that be will get backs that want to win more than that thrill of the one run back for a TD. Yes,HALL would be good on a other team but like SANDERS use to do always give up the TOUCHDOWNS that do us in.

Proctologist, maybe you need to watch games that Sanders played in to include Dallas and anywhere else he played he always gave up big tochdowns. Yes, he would run one back and give up serval big plays. Good yes but primetime was show time all the time.

Falcons Win! So what! Mr Vick has LOST me. I should be feeling euphoric today about a big win, however I just can’t make myself. Mike and his Me Me Me it’s all about Me and it’s never my fault mentality has finally pushed me over the edge. Hoping beyond hope He may have learned something from how low he had gotten last week I hoped to see a slightly more humble Mike. Fat chance as he is quoted as pretty much taking all the credit for the drive in overtime. The Falcons may have won on the scoreboard however they continue to lose respect as they continue to “sell out” to the mentality that anything goes as long as you win. What a sad message we send to our youth. I for one choose not to support it any longer and I believe based on the number of Steeler fans in the dome I’m not alone.

Thomas, dude: those weren’t Steeler fans. Those were University of Georgia classmates and friends donning Pitt attire. They loved Hines Ward and showed up to show it. Know the difference! As far as selling out…..Thats the rest of the NFL baby. Maybe you should watch baseball and have a coke and a smile

No, it is because the tickets were fetching up to $300 a piece on eBay and Subhub. Falcon fans were making huge bank off of Steeler fans.
