What's really impressing me about this Falcons team.

We are amped through 60 minutes of football. We are wearing teams out. The sideline shots of the Browns D said it all. I'm not sure if it's the MMA training, but man this team's motor always has the pedal to the metal. The only time I've seen this team look out of it is at the start of the last 2 games. It seems like we start waking up around the middle of the 2nd quarter.

Obviously we need work on Special teams, and the Offense needs to be more effective in the first quarter. We are letting teams play too close. But man, when it comes to grinding out a win, I don't think there is a team in the league that can beat us.

I agree totally & I'm impressed with how we turn it up in the second half. we just gotta get out the starting blocks earlier and we can be a dominant team. once Matt settles down and realizes he's not getting as much pressure as he thinks, our offense is gonna click from the start

The last 2 years we had a lot of games where we started fast with either a TD, or FG. Then 2 years ago we had the best ST's in the league. I'm not sure what's caused the change.

He's getting more than he thinks. Especially the last two games. Our line needs to step up in a big way.

Yeah, I think Musgrave's comments during the San Fran game confirms that.

false. if you DVR the games go back and watch the first quarter of the Browns. Matt had an unnecessary case of happy feet
