Hard Knocks & Hard Liquor LIVE from Flowery Branch: The OFFICIAL 2014 Atlanta Falcons Season Thread
Now yall going 13-3 huh?
Why not? We've never had a defense and our offense is better now then the past 5 years. Out of them 5, last year was our worst season. Only reason why we fell off last year was because of injuries

Not ready to go that far...huge win to beat New Orleans but the win loss total hasn't changed in my mind. 9-7/10-6 is still my ceiling for us. But I'm tired of talking about the bytch ass Aints tho, Cincy is a good ass team and handed it to us in preseason last yr
Bengals brehs, how y'all lookin on y'all side for Sunday
@NatiboyB @We Ready @Mikey2Toes @unit321
We gone get dogged...Whose stopping Julio, Roddy, Gonzalez, and Ryan
straight juggernaut status.But I'll say this if and only if we can get some good ground yardage from Hill and Gio and Dalton can limit turnovers and our defense can slow ya'll down and get a few turnovers from Ryan it will be a game.

Y'all's defense is a beast...I'm worried about how were gonna hold up especially with starting LT Jake Matthews possibly being out, y'all defense should feast. Were gonna score points, but defensively y'all are so good I wonder how were gonna do when we need our defense to make a stop. We made it happen with 2 big turnovers last wk, but that's tough to do every wk especially on the road

Tell me this motherfukker didn't just imply Tony Gonzalez would be playing Sunday
:gladwig:
the thing is..I legit hate Dalton and If we can't keep the ball out of Ryans hands we can't win a shoot out with the weapons y'all have...But if we can get good yardage from Gio and Hill I think we can win.

FLOWERY BRANCH —
Falcons rookie left tackle Jake Matthews, who suffered a left ankle injury against the Saints, was held out of practice on Wednesday.
“Jake Matthews is on the injury report along with Roddy White (knee),” Falcons coach Mike Smith said. “He did not participate in practice today. Roddy was a limited participant. Those were our two players on the injury report.”
Matthews left Sunday’s game against the Saints with what the team said is an ankle injury. Matthews had an MRI today and Smith said the team would update his condition when the initial injury report of the week is issued on Wednesday.
The injury report comes out at 4 p.m. and likely just list Matthews as a non-participate with an ankle injury.
Matthews was the No. 6 overall pick in the May draft out of Texas A&M. He began training camp as the starter at right tackle, then moved to left tackle when Sam Baker suffered a season-ending injury during the second exhibition game.
Veteran Gabe Carimi replaced Matthews during the Saints game. The Bears selected Carimi in the first round of the 2011 draft to play tackle but he struggled at both tackle spots before eventually being moved to guard.
Carimi played in 14 games with three starts for Tampa Bay in 2013. He practiced mostly at guard during Falcons training camp with some reps at right tackle.
Carimi struggled mightily filling in for Matthews as he gave up up four hurries in his 41 pass blocking snaps and committed three 3 penalties.
We all make mistakes.
Dude retired after last year, but it's all good.Uh, this is a hard call to make. The Falcons had a good game 1... and that was without Tony Gonzalez. Matt Ryan with 448 yards is impressive. Matt Bryant making a 52 yard field goal is dangerous. Julio Jones was moving the ball well. QB Ryan was getting the ball successfully to 7 receivers. Drew Brees was passing successfully to four receivers. Saints got burned in the pass game even though they had more rushing yardage They can hand an L to Cincinnati in a close game if it comes down to the wire with a Falcons FG attempt.
We all make mistakes.
Lol thats how productive he was Im still thinking the dude is putting up numbers after being retired.
He probably could have played this year too. He lost his motivation to workout and be in peak condition because the Falcons suck and don't have any Super Bowl ring chances.
