Revamped Falcons' Defense Is Paying Early Dividends

[Beef]

By the way, I know that ESPN (or maybe it was the guys on NFLN?) were saying that Max Hall under-threw the pass, but I completely disagree. I think Franks made one HELL of a snag. It's not like he caught it on his hip. He read the play & bolted backwards to the receiver that Schillinger had very good coverage on already, & Franks jumped up & snagged that ball with the tips of his hands & then ran 25 yards. It's been dismissed like it was meaningless because it was a rookie QB & the game was a blowout. Not in my book. That was a damn nice defensive play. That ball was on target to be a catch, not under-thrown.

It's been a week, how has everyone forgotten this stuff already? lol Abe dropped one and Davis knocked one down and almost pulled it in but couldn't do it. Moore had one bounce off his chest against Arizona before pulling one in later. Owens dropped a tough one, hit him in the hands as he dove for it. Tough catch but makable (if you're Brent Grimes lol)

And I think we missed one in the Arizona game that hit someone in the hands, can't remember who though, it wasn't a DB, might have been Lofton?

Willie Mo dropped one in the AZ game, in the late 1st quarter I believe.

Okay, that's fair. I can't remember telephone numbers, but great with football stats, celebrity names and movies and other useless stuff lol.

I blame all the brew I consume for my "selective" memory.

We have a really good defense. Take away those 2 big runs and we would be maybe top 3
