timcheetah25 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 This is such a big game for us.I am so tired of going into work on Mondays and hearing how the falcons were lucky to win on Sunday.To me it doesnt matter the score as long as we get a w.With that being said the Ravens scare the crap out of me for two reasons.1 is the check downs and screen plays that we always seem to get gashed on.Especially if Spoon doesnt play.In my opinion he is our best linebacker in coverage.Rice could have a huge day if we get too far upfield with our rushes and dont get to Flacco in time.Im not so worried about the deep ball as in i feel like Flacco will make a couple of mistakes.2nd is our O Line.We need to be able to run the ball but at the same time we have to protect Ryan on pass plays.Maybe the coaches will look at a lot of film from the bills game because Fitzpatrick torched their pass defense.But ultimately i feel like we will win in a shootout 38 to 35 as our dome field advantage will be too much for them to overcome.

BCEagleATLFalcon Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Not gonna lie, I'm very worried. Thing is, though, I also have several good friends who are Ravens fans (Mom's side of the family is originally from Baltimore), and they're very worried too.This is shaping up to be a helluva game!

duncja Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Nope. Not at all.Could the Falcons lose? Sure. Will they? I don't think so. It'll be a close game, I'll be nervous during it I'm sure, I just don't feel like worrying about it now. When it's all said in done, I expect us to be sitting at 7-2 and atop the NFL.

Tribal Chief Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 For some reason I think this is the game where we see how good DeCoud and Moore really are. They are gonna be the 2 main defenders that need to step up and play big Thursday. No dumb penalties though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconsFor6 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm not worried about the Ravens, they're a good, capable team for us to measure ourselves against...'I'm more worried about our lapses in intensity and our miscues...This is exactly the kind of game we need to help us strengthen those characteristics because if we don't match the Ravens' intensity or we make too many mistakes they're going to blow us out of the water...Talent-wise this roster is capable of beating the Ravens, it's a matter of putting it together...

Guest Gritz Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Like virtually every week I have no idea what is going to happen.It sure would be nice to see our team perform well in the national spotlight though......and I'm not talking about the media respect or any bullsh** like that. I'm mainly talking about this talented, disciplined team getting the credit it deserves for itself from people who follow sports in general.

Joremarid Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 is anyone else worried? yep, the saints don't want to fall essentially 2 games back in the division with 7 to go.i'm not worried at all. if we lose it's not as big a deal as if we had lost last sunday. baltimore is an afc team and considered by many to be the best team in the league.

falconidae Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Tell you what I'm worried about- the falcons building a 21-0 nothing lead first quarter, cruising to a lopsided victory, Ryan throwing 4 TDs while Flacco throws 4 picks, eliminating the lapses on D and ST, finally playing well in all 3 aspects of the game and having everyone believe it was a fluke....

IceFalcon Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Yall need to calm down.Trust in Smitty..if you watched the interviews with the players and the coaches, they all look confident and focused. Our team is showing us this year they know how to win, especially in a grinding out, hard fought game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealBird! Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 We'll end 3-1 vs the AFC North so I am not worried. Besides, we DON'T LOSE AT HOME!!!!! GO FALCONS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCFalcon Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm worried.I'm never going to predict an automatic win for every game because every time I do that, we either lose or we barely win. lol :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreensboroNCFalcon Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm worried about this game. However the Falcons I've watched in previous years would fold during this game but this team might fought it out to the end for a W. At done point as a fan you've got to believe, especially as a Falcons fan, that they've turned a corner and this year is setting up to be special.

The Don™ Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm not worried, but I KNOW that this will one of those games that knocks off 5 years of my life.Basically, I should be dead by now b/c of all those close games I've witnessed, and I blame the team that I love. Kind of ironic if you ask me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyIcy Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 to be honest, NO! they are not as good as Steelers (whom we had a close game) OR they are NOT like Patriots / Chargers who are so fluid in passing game & willfully can dissect any secondary in the league. They are just a 6-2 afc north team......who are at par with us. We being at home & our track record I like our chances. Worst case scenario....we lose. So effn what?! they are not our division rivals & we can still go 12-4 or 11-5 at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of ironic if you ask me....the way I see it....they are not our division rivals so who gives a ****! about what media has to say about us in midseason.All I want is a healthy + hungry team in week 15 v/s Saints cuz that, to me will be a MUST win! for us to gain home field advantage & go deep in playoffs.So relax mate! ENjoy the odds in our favor. We will win a close one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Birds Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 We are as good as the Raven's if not better, what worries me is the spot light. It feels like everytime ANY Falcons team has a chance to prove themselves, they lay an egg.But honestly, I'm no more worried about this game than any other. I worry about every game, before and during. I have to eat before because I can't eat during a game, ever. I can barely eat before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon54 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm a little worried, but no more then I am on any other game. The birds have taken a few years off my life this year and I completely expect more of the same come Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgoflacco Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Ravens fan here!! Not here to troll don't worry haha.But we are all worried about this game too, don't think you guys are the only ones who are. It is definitely going to be a great game. And I plan it to fully take a few years off my life also. I am so tired of all these close games. The Jets one I swear I gained so many gray hairs. The Steelers just wow. I wouldn't be surprised if we go into OT. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBMiller Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 im not worried, i already anticipated a loss on a short week. ray lewis is going to take ryans cookies. ryan will easily throw 3 picks this week. baltimore will drop a couple of them as well.Isn't there a team you actually like with their own message board somewhere? If you are like this in real life, I imagine it would be a pretty miserable life.P.S. Sorry your dogfighting ring got broken up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT is a distinct possibility, for sure. I think it will be a good game, and hope for no injuries. Go Falcs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
