Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

I do not wish injuries on any team, but if they must happen it is far more acceptable if it happens to the Falcons.

The Falcons lost starting DE/LB Kroy Beirmann and starting FB Bradie Ewing to season ending IR this week. They also placed starting LB Sean Weatherspoon on IR - Designated to Return meaning he is out for at least nine weeks. Starting RB Steven Jackson is also now expected to miss 2-4 weeks with a thigh injury. Roddy White is dealing with a high ankle sprain and will be a much less than 100% for the next several weeks.

Now is the time to take advantage of this situation. It is likely the Falcons will drop a unexpected game over the next few weeks so the Saints need to keep winning to build a large lead in the standings.

Dolphins will beat the Falcons imho.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

The Buccaneers in week 7 & 11 will not be easy either... Especially if their O-Line is still struggling

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

I'm just glad we're not the only ones.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

ahmen, to that!

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Looks like its a league wide problem.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Makes sweeping the Falcons a whole lot easier. Tampa bay comes to us for a possible second sweep in the dome. Split with Carolina and we are 5-1 in the division.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Miami looks good. If we played them next week they would probably beat us too.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Yeah they did but those wins came against the Browns and a very young Colts team. Atlanta will be their first true test of the year.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

OMFG... Miami would beat us too?

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Hey, if we played a good team like Atlanta they would stomp our ass in a... uhh no wait.:p

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Well if Atlanta is "good" then San Francisco is great.. What does that make Seattle? Unmuthafrikkenbelieveable? Unmuthafrikkenstopable? We should just not even play that game.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

If the team we saw against Tampa was to play Miami next week, yes then we would probably lose.

Im sure we would bring the team you saw against Oakland :rolleyes:

Any given sunday

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Oh go grab a box of tissue Atlanta, boo freakin hoo that you lost a couple of starters to injury and have a couple more that are playing injured

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Wait you mean the team that pulled off a late 4th quarter win, yeah I'd hate for a team that woke up after playing like garbage all day but still found a way to win show up next week, jeez someone remind me the Saints are 2-0 right? I must of thought different for a second

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

The falcons signed Omar Gaither today. He's the favorte to fill in for Sean Weatherspoon.

Gaither has not played a full season since 2008.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

... then he'll fit right in, because neither have the Failcons, <woop><woop>, :airguitar:, :broccoli:, :moon:, :hump:, :banana:, :lol:.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Sorry to hear about the injury but well I want say what I really want to say

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Everyone is hurting. This will just give Clown fans a reason to explain why their team will suck so reallllllly bad this year.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Aw man that's awful. Bierman is a hell of a football player. I know he's a Falcon but I hope he comes back strong as ever. And the other guy too.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Very well-played sir. Well played indeed. :bng:

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Even Stephen...most teams have many injuries along the way, as this is a game of attrition...we are obviously no exception. Those who have depth and are mentally strong overcome these injuries. We have filled the infirmary already, but we also got folks stepping up to this challenge (2-0 in the division and overall, anyone?).

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Falcons have a few guys hurt????
Have we forgotten Smith, M.Wilson, Chamberlain, Walker, Bunkley, Johnson, Abdul-Q, K.Coleman, V.Butler and Vilma? 6 potential starters
F*** Atl

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Some of those picks the Failcons gave up for Julio might have been ready to fill in the holes right about now. Not that I mind.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

That's a good point. I hadn't thought of it that way.

How many players did they give up for a beast wide receiver? They're signing guys off the street now.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

And some of the money we gave up for Brees could have been used to shore up the O-line, D-ine and LB too.

It works both ways.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

I've always thought that a lot of ATL's success comes from some luck of having a healthy squad. That's why we are contenders. We always find a way to navigate through injury issues.

I'm hoping this hurts falcons and causes them to lose one or two nfc games .. SJX should be back come next time we play them.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

I hear ya loud and clear.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Like i said..... Enjoy Jackson for the 8 games he plays...

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Atlanta has been uncommonly lucky the last couple of seasons. I use to look at their injury report and they never seemed to get hurt, at least not critical players. I honestly don't think they have the ability to recover like the Saints and pre season showed it.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

I LUV this thread.
It's Saints related because the Falcons suffering makes it so.

lol :bng:

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

Brees means FAR, FAR more to our success than Julio does to theirs.

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

I know, just stirring it up a bit.;)

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

He doesn't mean as much as our Kicker. :)

Re: Atlanta Falcons hurting bad
 

But certainly more than a punter.:p

I'd kill a shrimp po-boy right now, damn I'm hungry!
