Gritzblitz 2.0 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Our offense won't be this bad every week either. If someone told me that Turner would be shut down like he was, I would have expected to lose big. Great teams find a way to win, even when your strengths are being taken away.

Our offense definitely wasn't hitting all cylinders today....but good teams win even when they aren't hitting everything....Wildcat?More like Wildflat.......

rounz Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Exactly.Sometimes the D carries the O, and sometimes it's the other way around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoMoreVick Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I agree. I said the same thing about Turner last year after week one, when he ran all over Detroit. Let me see it a few more times before I make any decisions.I love what I see, so far.Offense will definitely pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwarzenegger321 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Our defense played excellent today. They are probably not as good as they showed today, but they are a lot better than people were thinking in the preseason. I loved the way petterson played. All I have to say to all the doubters and idiots in the preseason is hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! But you know he will have a bad game sooner or later and they will be back saying how he is a scrub. Our LB's were awesome today, so was the D-line. Only three mistakes I counted from the front seven today. The secondary did a good job too making pennington hold the ball.Our offense was off. Was it confirmed? DId Matty have the flu earlier this week? He really looked off the first quarter. The dolphins front 7 really played well and keyed on Turner the whole game. We have to work on that. No excuse for some of the breakdowns on the O-line today, but hey its the first game of the season. Great game. Go Falcons!!!

xfistfulofhatex Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I'm looking forward to our D and Turner both running wild on the panties next weekthey really look like a team in shambles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm_falcons Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 It's all about matchups. Falcons run D is very good....the pass D could get exploited by above average qb's.Saints....Pats...Eagles and Dallas may give us some problems.Jets(rookie qb)...Bucs....Bills and Redskins should not give us problems.I will say this though....the pass rush looked good with Biermann contributing. If Jerry or Babs can start to succeed against 1 on 1 blocking....then even the above avg qbs could have problems against us. Any of our blitzing LBs or safetys could have free shots at the qb.

Komic Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Defense was amazing!!!!Very shocked since every1 expected offense to make up for lack of defense.but offense will do way better next week and defense needs to keep up the good work mainly PETERSON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now that you mention it, he did look a little peaked and pale to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
