Tandy Gossett Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) -Defensive-After facing Cassell, Manning, Rivers, and Newton would anyone believe that we would have given up only 4 TDs passing so far all year? That ties us for 5th in the league.The bad side is we've given up 2nd most Rushing TDs ( 6 )Washington has given up 11 Passing TDs which is worst in the league, and only 2 Rushing which ties them for 15th.This is going to be a shoot and run out it appears ...-Offensive-Atlanta Rushing is 13th w/ 3TDsWashington is 1st w/ 8TDsAtlanta Passing is 2nd w/ 11TDsWashington is 24th w/ 4TDsThis all the signs of a high scoring game but with them being a rushing team they will control the ball more, and we should be moving the ball through the air and scoring fast. I hope we don't try to run a ball control offense.Here are more stats.-Passing Yards OffensiveAtlanta is 11th w/ 267.5 a game in the airWashington are 16th w/246.2 a game in the air*Passing Yards DefensiveAtlanta is 8th giving up 207 through the airWashington is 31st giving up 343.5 through the air-Rushing Yards OffensiveAtlanta are 18th w/ 97.8 a game on the groundWashington are 1st w/ 175.5 a game on the ground*Rushing Yards DefensiveAtlanta is 29th giving up 146.2 a game on the groundWashington is 10th giving up 89 a game on the ground-TurnoversINTsAtlanta (7) 3rd Best / Washington (5) 9th Best w/ 1 TDFumblesAtlanta (7) FF 1st Best - (5) Rec 2nd BestWashington (5) FF 5th Best - (3) Rec 11th Best w/ 1TD Edited October 2, 2012 by Tandy Gossett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Negatorris Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 We're bad at defending the run, they're great at running.They're bad at defending the pass, we're great at passing.This game has the potential to be annoying for a Falcons fan, unless the offense can score early and force RG3 to pass.

ATL Fan in the DMV Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 We all know Washington is going to come out and establish the run--and they would be smart to do so because we can't stop anyone on the ground. You can guarantee we won't see much nickel against them...so Dent better rise up and help plug the middle.Like you said Torris, this has all the makings of an annoying game for the Falcons and its fans. Plus, we are on the road.If we come out and stop the run consistently, we will win. If we don't, we could very well see another Carolina-like heart attack-inducing performance.

dhayester Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Before Sunday, I thought I was a 'young man', but after the near heart attack that I had, I'm not so sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
