Falcons: Despite the outcome...

Lots of positives to take away from this game. Almost letting them win at the end sucked, but I'm much more happy than pissed off after this game. I think we're a RG away from being a damn good offense.

If you haven't noticed, Ryan the last few games isn't getting hit and sacked like he was earlier. That may be just a difference in competition or it may be our line is finally getting their heads out of their asses and actually protecting Ryan. Ryan, or heck any QB, doesn't play well when he is running for his life most of the plays, especially early in a game, it spooks him. I have said many times, give Ryan a good pocket and protection and he is among the best in the league, give him bad protection and he stinks.

It was also nice to see Owens make a good play for a change, but you could tell we missed Grimes out there.
