An Excellent Turn of Events from Sunday's Game

[Peyton]

A lot from the game is debatable but, but this point is not, and I think it's huge.

The Falcons got through a tough emotional road opener against a big phsical team without any serious injuries.

I haven't even really heard about any minor injuries, but I could have missed something.

Considering the way last year unfolded, I'd say that is pretty spectacular news.

[Dem Birds]

Agreed. Thought about that immediately after the game was over, both sides did okay. I know they lost Starks for a few weeks, but for it to have been such a hard fought defensive game and to have so few injuries, is impressive.

[Wristtwitch]

I was worried seeing Owens helped off the field. But he was back in play a few series later. I hate to say it but I got somewhat excited seeing Coleman on the sidelines. I wish no injuries on any player in the league however.

There was a lot of talent that went down in the Packers/Eagles game and the Falcons came out unscathed outside of bruised fan egos and general bumps that come with playing football. Tons of lower leg/knee and head injuries around the league this last weekend.

Ryan Grant out for the year, Kris Jenkins out for the year, Bob Sanders out indefinitely with a torn bicep. It was a rough weekend, so the Falcons should feel good about the way they came out of the game for sure.

I agree. It was an extremely physical game. That we came out unscaithed (KNOCK ON WOOD) is amazing.

I believe the steelers may have lost their left tackle - Max Starks. Haven't heard how he's doing.

Oh - but I did hear Smitty might have pulled a hammy!

Just so you know, you will catch a lot of flack for having that avatar. Right or wrong it will rub a lot of people the wrong way.

After all this is a Falcons message board and you have a picture of the guy who humiliated the franchise.

Back on topic, I'm hoping that this game will prove to be a motivator.

Go Falcons!!!

Great point, Tandy....you beat me to it. I was going to bring up the fact that our HC pulled his hammy.

[Karst41]

I thought that it was a great game of blood and guts football.

We came up short, and with no major injuries, both

teams are going to be the better for it.

Sure I wish that we had won, but we played well against

that Fierce Steelers Defense.

I be Proud of our Falcons, and all of my

Fine Feathered Fiends on these Forums who are

aware of what the game represented in the NFL.

[NoMoreVick]

There were a few cramps on our side, but they were later back in the game. Both sides played very physically, and it's pretty surprising to see the only injury was Starks, who will miss a few weeks.

Whenever you finish up a game without any injuries, consider it a victory in itself. Packers lose Grant for the year. Jets lose Jenkins for the year. Stafford is out for over a month, and who knows where he'll be when he gets back on the field. Kolb has a concussion. Moore has a concussion. The list goes on. That is part of the reason our 2008 team did so well. We avoided injuries. That's a huge break for a team. A lot of success depends on a team staying healthy. You can talk about a team having depth all you want, but it's going to hurt when you lose your starting QB, RB, DL, no matter how you shake it. Let's be grateful that we didn't have any injuries, and keep hoping that happens. It will definitely help us in the long run.

Wow, I've been saying this since Sunday and you people just now piled on it? Thanks for the props, even if I wasn't credited for mentioning this first.

The point is the pic in your avatar is no different than a portrait of George Washington, ancient history. Your avatar of YKW is going to constantly invite ridicule. You're shortsighted for not seeing it in the first place.
