im here to eat my crow.....to tell you how badly you guys kicked our ass today. to cry a little bit. and to congratulate you guys on a perfectly played game

the saints were outcoached today.....starting with the first punt return all the way to the fake punt and halfback pass

you guys played exactly the type of football that wins games.

you ran the ball successfully....and your QB didnt lose the game.....the defense looked very good and it made our offense look very bad

i noticed some defensive packages even had your defense playing with no defensive linemen......blitzing a few LBs and dropping everybody back into coverage was a very interesting scheme and gameplan and it was executed to perfection

as a saints fan its embarrassing to see a team scout my team so well that they dont even have to play defensive linemen.

i hope other teams didnt watch this game because my team is in for a long season if we cant play any better than this and our coachin staff is in for a huge reality check......its not 2009 anymore

congrats brownies and fans and i wish you guys luck the rest of the season

I've never seen a Saints fan eat his crow. When we beat the Saints earlier this year, they made excuse after excuse.

A little bit of both. With Wallace though, you're going to get more movement in the pocket than with Delhomme. Hillis is a beast! The Brady Quinn trade is starting to pay dividends. Thanks Denver!

I think the Hillis trade was dumber than the Cutler deal. Hillis is going to prove to be a solid pickup if he stays healthy.

I'll give you the WR advantage because of Roddy White, but I could easily disagree with the rest. You are like all nonbrowns fans including ESPN analysts that think Cribbs gives us a Special Teams advantage and just assume we suck all around besides that..

I am not saying that the Browns will win Sunday, but you guys better bring your A game to Cleveland on Sunday if you expect to win..

I gave you the special teams advantage because outside of Eric Weems, and Bryant we have sucked. We've given up returns, punt blocks, and huge penalties that could have easily of resulted in a 1-3 record. It has nothing to do with Cribbs.

This is a no brainer, for now its Senaca.

I'm not sold on the fact that Jake has seen any changes in his play from last season. Senaca gives us the best chance to win right now.

We need to place a fragile sticker across Jakes forehead if something were to go wrong he may require a shrink.

Jake has the ability to be a solid QB. I think he has confidence issues, and it prevents him from playing to his potential. The better your running game is, the better Jake can be. When you guys got Jake, I thought the change of scenery would be good for his career.

Sorry. I tend to study positional matchups so I look at individual players. If it would make it any easier for you, I'll just refer to "running backs" or "linebackers." I could simplify it even more by referencing just "the Falcons offense" or the "Browns defense."

Yes, I worry about the entire Browns 53-man roster. Doesn't mean we can't break it down.

I'll help you out OldFan...

QB's

Falcons > Browns

WR's

Falcons > Browns

RB's

Falcons > Browns

ST's

Falcons < Browns

Defense

Falcons > Browns

Offense

Falcons > Browns

Here is how I see the overall match-ups, match-up.

The Falcons ST's has been our weakest link so far, so I'm going to give you guys that one.

Browns will crush the falcons..

We are a wr aaway from being a really good team.

I love scott fujita quote about winning one game, just garentees we won't got 0 and 16.. the guy is a stud.. we are on the brink of something special

Here is why what you're saying is wrong...

Falcons

Browns

I'm not going to sit here and say that this is going to be an easy game for the falcons, but were going to go to 4-1 after this week.

Funny, but I never blamed Byner for that loss. I blamed the prevent defense. I always felt that Marty Schottenheimer was as good a game coach as you'll find, UNTIL he got a lead & went to the prevent defense. I am absolutely CONVINCED he would have won at least ONE Super Bowl had he simply changed that philosophy. He NEVER changed.

Mike

There is nothing worse than a coach who lets his foot off the gas when his team gets a lead.

Hey guys! Another Falcon fan here. I come friendly so no worries.

Been watching you guys when I can this year. I love that Hillis kid and have picked him up in some of my fantasy leagues. Obviously this isn't your season as a whole but you pulled out a nice win against Cincy today. Impressive. You've already had some hard breaks this year but I hope things will soon start looking up. I'd be surprised if Mangini sticks around too much long. I don't know how the fanbase feels about him, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was less than positive.

I think we are looking at a tough game next week. Should be fun and hopefully as always, no injuries.

Another Falcon fan here. I also come in peace, and want to talk some football/

Congrats on your win over Cincy. Not many people were picking you guys to win, so I know it must have been nice for the fan base. I was actually thinking this was gonna be an easy, stress free week for Falcon fans, but your win over Cincy makes me think otherwise.

I disagree about your opinion about the Falcons not being physical.I would consider us one of the most physical teams in the NFC.Case in point we took the Steelers to OT on opening day in Pittsburg in what was a very physical Football game.And we beat the Jets in New York in December last year,the last game they lost until the AFCCG.Not saying the Browns aren`t a physical team,just that we are also.

It's been said on numerous media outlets that the falcons are extremely physical. We have a young, fast, hard hitting defense that has the ability to create turnovers. Our OC likes to wear out O-lines by sending Turner up the middle over and over until you can prove that you can stop the run. Even if you stop the run, our OC will continue using Turner to wear out your D.
