impressive win but i'm pumping the brakes a bit bc of lynch making 1st nfl start.

that said, I like our chances @ seattle this week. They aren't complete.

You trashed this team from top to bottom and now you're tapping the breaks gtfo

Shanahan does deserve props for finally figuring out to call a game designed around Matt Ryan's strengths. We're allowing him to recognize and expose mismatches. Everyone thought we were going to be an offense that went as Julio went but that hasn't been the case.

Defense is still a huge question mark but digging the efficiency of our O. It can actually get better too, which is scary to think.

If Beasley Jr. and co. can get even half the pressure they got this week rushing 4-5 this team will be tough to deal with

It's all good brother.

Alex Mack has been a huge add, really stabilized things. Agree that spreading the ball to everyone has been A+. Tevin has really stepped it up.

As far as the defense, we still have very little talent. Hope Vic does more of what he did last week and that Keanu keeps playing physical. I don't expect this unit to be great but they can hopefully play above their skill level enough to get us some Ws.

Oakland victory beginning to look like most impressive win. Not only for what it was, but for what it was compared to the week before and what it set in motion the weeks after.

Still annoyed we can't beat Rapeis tho

The no-call on the PI on 4th and 10 is whatever. Anybody who watched the whole game watched Julio torch Sherman all day.

I'm all for the Kemal-at-linebacker experiment, but he clearly can't cover Jimmy Graham. I thought Neal had a good game.

I don't hear people calling for Shanahan's job anymore, I think he showed some excellent halftime adjustments and we came out roaring in the third.

I also love it when they blitz Trufant, that's gotten 2 sacks in 2 weeks.

I also think I'm about done with Alford.

Opponents game plan to target him for PI's and he keeps obliging

oh well we are still sitting great on top of NFC South and definitely now contenders for NFC.

Going to the game on Sunday, we should unleash some frustration on the Chargers.

well that sucked

Same ol Falcons. Quinn's call was right, the play call itself was atrocious. I'll never get behind a slow ass developing stretch play in short yardage situations.

Also Matt Ryan, Matt Ryan'd with that INT late but regardless our team scored 30 points in the game. No business in ever losing at home there. Defense once again couldn't get any kind of pressure and couldn't get off the field on 3rd downs when needed most.

Also REFS ****ed us again. Julio got his arm drug down again on a catch that would have put us in FG range with still time to get more yards. But no call Matt still gets next play to Julio but miss 58 yarder. Pretty lame that's happened to us twice in such high leverage spots.

I feel like we win that game like 98% of the time.

Good thing the division is a joke

And Jake got tripped on that 4th down play. Never had a chance when that happened.

I just hope this isn't starting a spiral of us losing to teams we should beat.

The game in Tampa is now even bigger than it already was

Fun game

Was surrounded by cheese heads tho; maybe 1/3 packers and 2/3 falcons fans

Our D has to get better at pressuring the QB; packers have no run game yet it took us over 30 mins to get any pressure on Rodgers

Vic Beasley currently 2nd in the NFL in sacks, that's good to see.

Slightly worried that we can't seem to get through a game without giving up 30, but if the offense scores 33 I guess we'll be okay.

Huge that Tampa lost

Man if we lose to them jacks on TNF. Now's the time to really put a foot on the neck of this division.

So far this season it seems the Seattle game is the only one to play out as expected

I guess yesterday too

Surprised the line is only TB +3.5..should be an ass whoopin imo

Taylor Gabriel is a bad ass. Keanu hits

Nice win great break coming up

Got to give the front office and Quinn credit...they absolutely nailed free agency and the draft it seems.

Now a well timed break. Defense not good enough yet to be a legit contender but maybe by the end of the season?

Still not sold on Quinn's decision making but this is his first HC gig he can learn. The 4th and 1 call vs Chargers was right regardless of result imo and that shows improvement. They keep nailing the draft and free agency like this tho, we won't need his decision making.

Gabriel is niiiiiiiice. I think they were hoping Justin Hardy would be that guy when they picked him but we definitely need to keep finding ways to get this kid the ball.

TD must be feeling good about himself too. He was looking mighty chopping block this season if we fell on our face. Still can, we still are the Falcons

Agree with all that

I hope Trufant's okay, can't afford to have Alford covering number 1 WR's.

And just like that TD cements the 3 year extension

Tough loss today, but I kinda saw it coming. Philly is probably the best defense we've faced all season, and our run D didn't have a great day.

Didn't see the time of possession split, but that's the blueprint for how to beat us.

It's looking like Dallas gets the #1 seed in the NFC, but we're definitely still in play for the #2.

The bye comes at a great time, let's get Trufant and Coleman healthy and get ready for the stretch run.
