The Falcon Jedi Knight Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons can win in any styleThe Atlanta Falcons have won blowouts on the road and at home. They have won close games at home and on the road.More than anything, the Falcons just keeping winning. Their 24-17 victory in Washington was another sign this Atlanta team can win any style of game on any surface. From NFLShop.com: Matt Ryan gear. The Falcons are a dome team that's now 3-0 outside on grass this year. They are in position to run away with the NFC South.Sure, the Redskins aren't exactly a great squad. They haven't won a home game in more than a year. And Atlanta's passing game wasn't in sync for much of the day as receivers dropped passes and quarterback Matt Ryan missed a few chances to make a big play. When the Falcons absolutely needed drives late in the game, though, "The Mattural" delivered.The Falcons scored 17 points in the final quarter to put this contest away. Robert Griffin III's injury didn't hurt Atlanta's chances, but the Falcons were setting themselves up well all game by dominating time of possession. The Redskins' defense finally gave way, and the Falcons' defense finished things off by intercepting Griffin's replacement, Kirk Cousins.Julio Jones dominated Redskins cornerback Josh Wilson late in the game. Ageless tight end Tony Gonzalez caught 13 passes to keep the chains moving.This wasn't a flawless effort, but the Falcons controlled a game on the road. They deserved to win. They deserve to be 5-0 and early favorites for a bye in the NFC playoffs.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Falcon Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Maybe we'll play Dallas and he'll throw a ball into Jerry's giant TV and sparks will burn down the cowboys stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandy Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Came from Rich's podcast with Ryan. He said he was dubbing him the "Mattural" playing off of The Natural. Ryan laughed at him and said if he could pull that off - he'd be impressed.Rich is on a mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Falcon Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Oh, would this be Matt's 18th 4th Quarter game winning drive?I think he should be called "clutch" It sounds like a gritty race car driver, something good from the south, and describes Matt as a guy that gets it done when it matters. It would even be perfect for Vick75 when Matt had a bad game he could claim "the clutch" was slipping. So it has something for everyone.

Mr.11 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) The Mattural is such a lame nickname. Seriously. Just kill it.Matty Ice. Leave it at that. It's what he's been called since he was at BC, and quite frankly, he hasn't had a chance to really live up to that name since he has yet to win in the playoffs. But Matty Ice is a cooler nickname (no pun intended). It fits his personality and the way he plays the game perfectly. Give "The Mattural" to Matt Cassel or something.

I like it to , Im just saying the hate for the new one is because its new. Im probably wrong. I dont care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
