How do you stop a balanced offense like the Falcons?
-
You guys are real confident huh? lol
We aren't the Bengals guys.
When the Falcons fans first appeared on the board a few days ago they were very respectful, and then they started with telling us how we don't stand a chance against every single player on their roster. I'm sorry but what the hell do you expect, for us to agree with everything you say and have no faith in our Cleveland Browns? We gotta little word called Believeland and it aint goin no where just because of a couple of dirty birds trying to talk their team up.

AMEN WAIT TILL THEY SEE THE ryan Blitzing defense There feathers will be coming off them at the seams LOL

The Falcons are a run-first offense that easily transitions to the passing game when opposing defenses stack the box. Look at the Falcons stats and you see they are close to 50/50 run/pass. If you commit to stopping Turner/Snelling then you suddenly have Gonzalez/White/Douglas getting loose down field. Do the Browns have what it takes to defensively shift gears and stop a potentially deadly Atlanta O?
The Falcons offense is no better truly than most of the offenses the Browns have played thus far. They have faced veteran QBs who are considered the equal or better than Matt Ryan in Cassel, Flacco and Palmer. They have faced RBs like Ray Rice and Cedric Benson who are considered the equivalent of the Falcons RBs. They have faced receivers better than any the Falcons have. The Browns defense got burned big time by Anquon Boldin, and T.O. had a big day against them. Do the Falcons have a WR the equivalent of those two? No.
Could the Falcons burn them? Sure. At some point any NFL team can burn any other NFL team. Is it likely the Falcons will totally scorch the Browns defense? No way.
This game will be like every other Browns game this year: close to the vest, low scoring, and close at the end. Which team can pull things off and win may be totally up to serendipity and who executes best. If not for a couple of pass interceptions for TD the Browns could be 3-1. But, they did make those mistakes, and in the end it will probably be the mistakes and turnovers that decide this game.

Yes Roddy is on the same level as Q. Just look at the stats.

Well, you F88dup and didn't beat the Steelers when you had the chance. That right there is enough for us to despise you!!
Believe me, many of us are still bitter about letting that one get away. Despise away.

Boldin has had a better career being the #2 receiver in Arizona than Roddy has being the #1 in Atlanta.
White's very good, but I don't put him in the same category as a physical receiver as Boldin, and those are the guys that hurt us. I could be wrong though, I only catch a few Falcon games each year.
Zombo
If you look over the last 3 years White has more yards, more receptions, and tied in TDs. And White has a big advantage in ypc. White is better receiver. Boldin is more physical.

White also plays in a run heavy offense and both have Q and White had almost identical stats over the past three years.

I will also say that after looking at some of the stats and some of the debates here that I may have undervalued Roddy White. He may indeed be closer in capability to Anquon Boldin than I originally thought. He is just not a guy I have heard or seen that much about. So, OK, the Browns indeed need to try to contain this guy.
Fair enough?
-
I think some of you are sleeping on Roddy.... I like Boldin and heck we tried to trade for Boldin so he could be our #2 WR (when the cards were trading him)
But i would take Roddy over Boldin in a second... Roddy is not as physical as a WR as Boldin but Roddy plays physical.. The thing that makes Roddy a special WR is that he has everything... Dunta Robinson (former texans) says it all the time.. Roddy remind him so much of Andre Johnson

Hey everyone, A Falcon fan here.
Was browsing your forums and had to join the conversation.
They have faced veteran QBs who are considered the equal or better than Matt Ryan in Cassel, Flacco and Palmer. could be 3-1. But, they did make those mistakes, and in the end it will probably be the mistakes and turnovers that decide this game.
I can not argue against Flacco, or Palmer but I am really in the dark on Cassel. He must have really improved since last year and the preseason. I just assumed KC winning just luck from the football not being round. Has he gotton better against the blitz and readign defenses? Haven't had a chance to watch him this year and I never trust stats from the first four games. Including ours or yours.
Any knowledge on his skill improving would be nice got two buddies who are big KC fans and don't wanna be unarmed this Halloween.
I will also say that after looking at some of the stats and some of the debates here that I may have undervalued Roddy White. He may indeed be closer in capability to Anquon Boldin than I originally thought. He is just not a guy I have heard or seen that much about. So, OK, the Browns indeed need to try to contain this guy.

Don't feel bad, you go to most teams boards in the NFC south and they don't have much love for white ethier. Nothing wrong with that people watch their teams and what evers on other times. Trust me he is pretty damn solid and most likely sneaking in the top 5 category.
peyton hillis does this thing where he beats up little people and i cant foresee any team stopping him running behind steinbach, mack and thomas.....especially not the falcons
And hell is frozen over, I am agreeing with a Saints fan ("Married to one as well, talking about a glutten for punishment") the Falcons' defense if very fast, really fast. But we are not physical, we have a defensive line that is extremily undersized. The punishing back like you guys have scares the krap out of me.
Your team has a great chance of winning this game, it really comes down I think to how long we keep you off the field. We can't take Hillis very long. You can easily shut down our running game as long as you keep Matt on his rear. If Matt is hot though, we most likley get the W. So far this season he has been streaky, but thats expected from most young QB's.
Keep him rattled and give us a taste of our own medicine with your running game and we will have a long day.
Good luck with your health and hopefully we come out with a W.
