ProtoType Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 No real surprise here as the falcons never get no respect, I just don't see us losing to the Lions, its possible but I just don't see it, Lions traded their best DT.This team has improved 10x more then the 2007 season...just wish people could see it but their just going by last years record.

P-Dub Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I really don't see how you can be so sure...most of the Falcons wins this season (which might not be all that many) will come in very close games, and I expect this to be one of them. Close games, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltstorm1 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 From what i've read, the Lions defense has been improved. Kitna has been super accurate and they have two Monsters for receivers. Kevin Smith has also been pretty decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProtoType Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Thats pretty much the only threat the Lions have, CJ and Roy Williams, if we can pound the ball and throw the ball against their weak Defense, we have a chance.

wordtobigbird Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 well its the lions so winning is always a possibility. but of course no one is going to pick us, they all have us finishing with 3 or 4 wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProtoType Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Their just going by last years record, so many experts got us only winning 1 game this year and taking a tackle with the first pick (which is useless) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlguy39 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 What do you think the line will be, 3 points? I think we have a real shot, but then again, this team ALWAYS lets me down. If we can run the ball, we can win. I say we need about 150 combined yards rushing (Norwood and Turner) and substantial clock control (like 35-40 minutes). Time of posession and running will win the game. Otherwise, we are toast. Sad, but true. Don't let Ryan throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProtoType Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 If you expect so much, you attend to be let down, this team is nothing like the 2007 team, that team quit when we had a lousy coach, now players are playing for a real nfl coach.

Bring It Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 The Lions were the only team UNDEFEATED in pre-season..............4 - 0.This doesn't happen by accident. They're playing as a team, and playing d.amn well !!!We will have to play a near perfect game to beat them, if they continue to play well.This is no gimmie folks.No way.

ltstorm1 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 We are all impressed with our defense not giving up a TD in 14 quarters right? The lions have only given up 2. Statistically in the preseason we're 5th defensivly and they are 8th. I'm sure most of us have not watched their preseason closely, so don't be suprised if they have a very stout defense.I'm not saying we're going to lose the game, but some of you all seem to think we're going to steamroll Detroit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 The Lions will not be a cake walk, maybe if it was later in the season after we've gelled, but right now, it will be a tough game. Their secondary is improved. Leigh Bodden is one of the better cornerbacks in the league, I can't believe Cleveland let him go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandy Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Doesn't matter - I'll be there - screaming my head off - if we win, I'll be ecstatic - if we lose - I'll understand (and be depressed for a week). I'd like to see us go 16 - 0 this year, but it's even more important to see us improve every game and work towards becoming a great team.

ol'_dirty2 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Once we start thumping teams with the run and some tough D, those week to week predictions will begin to swing our way a little more often. People are scared to back us now because of so many unknowns. It seem like we're headed in the right direction to me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
