I think Robinson will be fine, didn't see Abraham's close enough because I was at the Dome and drinking, but didn't like seeing the cart.
2 weeks until judgement day.

Sure Abe was carted off and Dunta has a concussion and Asante has a shoulder issue but still played the entire game. Offense was one dimensional and looked terrible for the most part. Game didn't mean anything though. So those injuries aren't a big deal. One week off will make all of that better.Glad you got that off your chest. Now cheer up buddy it will be ok.
I'm pretty optimistic for a Super Bowl(if Abe is 100%) run but what the hell was the gameplan today because nothing I saw out there made any sense. The good news is that HD looked really good returning punts like he should of been doing all season.

The only thing I didn't like about the game today was the Bucs defenders mugging our receivers all game and not getting called for anything. But thankfully the NFL doesn't allow that kind of crap in the playoffs because the QBs are suppose to be the stars in the playoffs. Not the defensive backs.

Lol, Giants are out of postseason....they won...and are the team to beat sitting on their couches next week...

I loved how Ronde Barber blew up on the one holding call that went against them. They had their hands in our receivers pants all game long. Ridiculous.

I maintain the position that our fans are pathetic. Abraham sustained a minor ankle injury. Dunta Robinson may have suffered a slight concussion. You guys act like they are done for the rest of the year.

That was one vanilla offense we saw today. Seems to me the Falcons put specific game plan out there and said if we win... cool. If we don't... oh well

Abraham's injury may have been minor but it sure didn't look like it. It looked pretty severe. Remember Smitty said Weatherspoon's ankle injury was "minor" too and he missed 3 games.

Is it possible that at the half Mike Smith asked the players if they would like to play the second half based on how the first half went and the players were pissed enough about their performance that they concluded they should play?
I can see that happening truthfully.

I'm good with it. They got hurt, they could've gotten hurt in practice. That's why it's a team, next man up, at least it wasn't Spoon again or Ryan. I think they didn't want 2 straight weeks off. Win or lose.
