Interesting Stat I Just Heard About The Titans

If anybody associated with the Falcons at Flowery Branch is resting on their laurels because we're playing the Titans next week they should immediately report for Level 3 concussion protocol. We'll be up against the Titans, the refs, and the most formidable opponent of all, ourselves. I see it as a cliff-hanger.

I'd rather face Mariotta than Mettenberger just from the standpoint that we have film on Marcus. I don't like going up against "unknowns" because we seem to struggle against those QB's. However, that was a staple of the last regime.

There is film on Mettenberger too! Not to mention they saw him in preseason. There's no reason for any surprises regardless of which QB is playing on Sunday.

You know, every team thinks the refs are against them but I try to be as objective as I possible can when looking at officiating and I can't help seeing a pattern of getting the short end of the stick against us when it comes to officiating. The problem is, no non-falcon fan will ever watch every Falcon game to gain some perspective on the matter, and no NFL person who does watch the games is going to come out against the refs and create that controversy so it's hard to tell if I'm watching the game through homer glasses each week or if there really is a problem with us getting shafted by the refs.

The most dumbfounding call to me was the facemask against Freeman as he was running into the endzone against Dallas. It was clearly a facemask, the ref was staring right at it with a clear view, threw the flag, then they "decided" that it wasn't a penalty and picked the flag up. I literally couldn't speak I was so shocked.

or the horse collar last Thursday the did against Freeman, the flag was thrown and then the ref ran over and had him pick the flag up and even the announcers stated that it was clearly a horse collar, and even replay showed it clear as day.!!!

Couldn't agree more. The toughest opponent we've played all year wear falcon jerseys and receive paychecks signed by a Mr. A. Blank.
