It's a Wrap - Falcons over Lions 31-18

So that should do it. With the Saturday evening win over the down-but-dangerous Detroit Lions, the Falcons have locked in the #1 seed, finishing their business for the regular season. So next week, we rest our starters against the Bucs in a meaningless game.

Here are the highlights...

Finally: The "D" word

Dominant. There, I said it. Dominant. Hear that? Falcons 34 Giants 0.

Ok, so it took until Game 14 for the Birds to put together an end-to-end total un-flawed performance against any team, let alone the world champs. But dominate they did. Offense. Defense. Special Teams. The whole package. Hallelujah. We knew it was in them. What a pleasure to watch it unfold.

The pass rush that we need

On this Sunday the NY Giants come to town. One of the weapons they bring is a very potent pass rush. Between Jason Pierre-Paul, Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora, if the G-men are able to keep Mattie Ice on his ass all day, it will be a long afternoon for the Good Guys.

We need one of those type guys in the ATL. A big, fast, mean pass rusher. Someone who scares QBs to death! Remember the feeling we had when we first heard that Ray Edwards was coming to town? We thought that we might have one there. Oh well...
