Yo No Creo Garrett Hartley....Who Dat?? Some Braves talk and Troy Glaus Bashing

The Falcons rolled into Nawwlens on Sunday with a chip on their shoulder. Tired of being the Saints wipping boy the last few seasons. We have always for the most part played them tough but this was our time to show them that the NFC South rolls through Atlanta this year.

The game started out about as bad as it could have. We go 3 and out after harry Douglas does his best Michael Jenkins impression and drops a pass. We punt the ball to Lance freaking Moore who returns it 70 something yards to our 5 or so. Automatic TD a few plays later and Who Dat leads 7-0. The next drive showed me that this team is going to compete this year. Matt Ryan and Tony Gonzalez were straight abusing the Who Dat all game. Atlanta answers in 4 minutes and the game is tied. We could have easily folded up like a tent and gone down 10-0 or 14-0 before we even knew what hit us.

I dont know if this is a coincidence or not, but the Falcons appeared as if they wanted to take some shots down the field. They completed some long passes to both White and Gonzalez and it really opened up the middle of the field. I cant understand why Mularkey is so Bi-Polar with his playcalling? Let Matt Ryan run the entire offense. Keep taking those shots down the field and good things always seem to happen. I thought the combination of Turner and Snelling was fantastic. Around 180 yards between the 2 of them and both are bruising RB's. I love the bomb to Harry Douglas on the first play in OT. Puts the D on their heels and puts the fear into the defense.

When Hartley came up to kick the FG in OT, my service went out for a minute and I said "oh well hes going to make this anyway." Right then the game kicks back on and I see Matt Ryan going buck wild on the sideline. The falcons of old would have gone 3 and out and punted the ball right back to the saints. Not this time. The Falcons methodically worked their way down the field. In comes Matt Bryant who drilled the 46 yarder with plenty to spare to win the game. I dont know if some of you know anything about Matt Bryant but he lost his son to SIDS a couple years ago when he was kicking for the Bucs. I remember watching the NFL Countdown the day after his son died and if im not mistaken he drilled the game winning FG that day. I cant help but pull for him so im glad he made it. Who Dat?? Dat Matt Bryant.

Iv been very critical of the Braves as you all know but we still have a chance at the Playoffs. I dont know how since we have played terrible baseball the last 6 games or so but we do. I dont want to hear any excuses from anyone anymore. The time for that crap is up. If you want to make the playoffs then heres your chance. You absolutely control your own destiny and there is no one to blame if we dont make it but yourselves. Prado going down yesterday is not something we needed to see but nonetheless you have to go on. I hope they put Brooks Conrad in at 3B but they wont. They will play Troy Glaus whos bat is the same size as an oar. No joke he swings that thing i feel like yelling "Ryyuken". Referencing of course Street Fighter. But seriously that bat is obsurd. Why is it so big? Why doesnt he use a smaller bat so hes not blown away by 91 MPH cheese? Why when he swings does my watch quit working? Troy Glaus' bat is responsible for the Oceanic 815 crash. I just dont get it. He must have some pictures of Bobby Cox or something.
