cnst Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'm thinking about how we win or lose this game in the terms of our defense vs. their offense and vice versa. With their starting QB, WR, and possible TE being out, we should dominate that matchup. But, I'm more concerned about our offense vs. their defense. Here are some of Dallas's defensive rankings: - Total points - 6th. (and 60% of the total points against them were from field goals or def td) - Yards per game - 3rd. - Total TD's - T-2nd with just 3 td's. They've got an impressive D. They played Eli and Bradford who can both light it up so it wasn't like they played bums. To frame their D, I consider our D to be very good so comparing them to us, they've given up 36 points to the same teams we gave 44. Could you say their D is better than ours? Stats say yes.So I think our biggest challenge is going to be putting more than 25 points on the board, If we can do that and hold their offense to 24 or less, which is very doable, we'll walk away with a win.

clownorg Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 It'll all come down to forcing Weeden to try and beat us. Long as we stop the run and put the game on his shoulders we'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malachore Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'm sorry but it's 2 games into the season where a bad game puts their defense into the bottom half and a good game puts ours into the upper half. If Atlanta doesn't win by at least 2 scores then they are not the team we think they are and it's still "Same ol Falcons". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartkowski Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 In the past, the Falcons have had a problem with taking advantage of short handed teams. It always seems like they make the backups look like starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAD597 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 It would be nice if we could take advantage of their injured roster and just blow them out. Probably won't happen but it certainly wood be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl927 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) I doubt Quinn underestimates (or overestimates) anyone. It's all about attacking with speed and physicality on defense. We no longer play not to lose. We play to win.On offense, he'll keep playing his game. The other D will keep blitzing, and he'll keep feeding Julio. It'll be enough to win.

sharky Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 It's gonna still be tight because of their defense, we have to score some points. They have to execute their offense and don't make any mistakes what so ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
