As long as James effin Starks is held to like 2.1 ypc. We had a rushing D in the top third of the league, and this 6th round pick had just over 100 yards! If we were a sieve and this guy was a top draft pick who had a 1000 yard rookie season, or like 200 yards last game, then I could see it more. But this lil bastard hasn't done shit! The Law Firm up in NE had like 1,000 yards this season and doesn't get this kind of respect. I want to shut this MF down! Angry

And win, of course. Tongue

Things change fast in the NFL. Honestly I would be shocked if we saw anything substantial from their running game. Remember how we were going to run up 200 yards rushing against the saints because of what Ray Rice did? Remember how Carolina was going to run it down our throats?

All Green Bay did is allow us to scheme to stop their newfound running game and put it back under the rock where it's been hiding for the better part of 16 games.

If Starks has a great game honestly it reflects more poorly on us that it does fondly of him. Like I said, we usually prepare well so I don't expect to see anything consistent out of him.

To be honest,the real reason why everyone is picking the packers is because of their team legacy. Green Bay's D-fence is nowhere near as menacing as everyone makes them out to be. Clay Mathews only had 3 tackles and was a non-factor and Charles Woodson interfered with Roddy White on multiple occasions because he was getting burned but pass interference was only called once. I like our chances very much against them and the Falcons will prove to the world that we are for real and it will be the beginning of a new legacy for our franchise. A LEGACY OF WINNING!!!

I tell you what legacy has evolved here, and that is that I almost never watch these douchebags anymore, NFL Network, ESPN etc... I may tune into an X's and O's type of show from time to time but that's about it.

You know what started it for me, it wasn't Falcons related at all. I just got damn sick and tired of all the cowboys coverage no matter what the situation. Take that mindset and apply it to the rest of the league and that's what we have now.

Believe it or not, I actually had a great, open, honest football discussion with a saints fan I met the other night. No BS, just good football talk. And while we disagreed on some things, we were singing in unison about how much the "experts" are anything but.

Frankly, all I here in NC on sports radio and on the streets is how if GB loses (not we win), the NFC championship game will be the lowest rated and most boring ever.

Why everyone in the Nation finds us bland and unexciting is so damn puzzling! I mean, I absolutely love watching this team! My favorite Falcon's squad ever, and that's saying a lot.

I agree, I think of our offense as classic musical. People say that it is boring, but once you sit down and watch, you'll think that it is the most beautiful thing that you have ever seen lol.

Even though MM fucks up a note every now and then lol.

Because we use all 3 downs, sometimes 4 downs, to get 10 yards.

And unlike every other team in the league, there's nearly no suspense because everybody KNOWS we're gonna pick it up.

And there are no drama queens with reality shows.
